Are you prepared to lose to both Richmond and The Eagles as it stands?
And if both Richmond and The Eagles also wish to lose?

Luckily we will get ahead of Adelaide by seasons end and will have 5 and 6 so the next Bont is assuredIf we keep 4 and 5, then six will be the next Bont.
I haven't caught up on the conversation, but I assume we're talking about finishing below Adelaide rathe than WCE or Richmond catching up, right?I don't think they could catch us anyway & i agree with what you said play to win.
If we keep 4 and 5, then six will be the next Bont.
NWM, Pou, Windy, Owens and Wilson seem good picks from ordinary picks, Collard, Garcia, Arie, Hastie, Keeler have a lot of potential.Or 4 and 5 will be the next Coffield and Clark. Trade it and we'll take the next Dunstan and Acres. It's how we roll.
We should throw darts and see if that works better.
Either way, finishing above or below Adelaide isn't an issue since they're basically locked to take Draper. The only element we need to go our way is 2 of Jagga, Lalor or Draper are available for our picks, which means Trainor has to go in the top 4
Curious to see who people would take in these scenarios:
Smillie or Langford
Sims or J.Whitlock
Lindsay or Reid
O’Farrell or M.Whitlock
Armstrong or Shanahan
Smith or Draper
Kako or Berry
Can’t recall a draft as even as this one.

I think we have a fairly good record so far this decade.
BTW Coffield, Clark and Arces are all still in AFL senior teams. Dunstan could have been if he didn't crack the sads left and did his knee.
Our inside mids are so parlous at the minute he or Bytel would get a gig.

Will have to disagree on Whitlock Gringo. He took the game by the scruff of the neck in the champs game. Look quickish for a big man, gets to position really well, takes a strong mark and kicks truly.Jack Whitlock doesn't look a top 10 pick but looks good. I reckon he goes in the early teens. His brother might be the Ben King and be there at our SRDP if you want a tall forward. Faull looks good too but will be gone by then too. Shanahan might drift out there.
Smilie is the current pick 1 favourite.Will have to disagree on Whitlock Gringo. He took the game by the scruff of the neck in the champs game. Look quickish for a big man, gets to position really well, takes a strong mark and kicks truly.
If we went down your suggested path and swap 5 or 6 for two later frdp's we should definately look at taking him.
If we do go down that path though we bloody well get pick 5 right. From what I saw yesterday Smith or Reid and one of Lalor, Smillie, Berry, Lindsay whomever is left.
After watching just the one game, it is very difficult to see a standout. I really feel that Smillie could be a smokey 194cm looks like a proto type Bont or Cripps. Looked very good in the first half yesterday, then went completely missing until the last ten minutes of the 4th where he got some important touches.
So under your suggestion if we got say Reid @ 5 then Smillie and Whitlock later in the first, I would be pretty comfortable.
Smillie will be gone in the top 3. Reid @ 5 is a massive reach, I can’t imagine why any recruiter would take him that high. Whitlock potentially but I’d prefer Faull or ShanahanWill have to disagree on Whitlock Gringo. He took the game by the scruff of the neck in the champs game.

All of my take is from what I saw yesterday so my exposure is limited. Reid was my BoG yesterday, Smith is a contested ball beast.Smillie will be gone in the top 3.

The champs have certainly shaken up the potential draft order.
FOS may well be underdone but 7 touches in a match isn't what we expect from a pick one or two, Smillie similar based on output.
I see a real chance that these guys could slide unless they pull their finger out. I still think FOS will be the best from this draft over a career.
Smith seems to be the best performed this year. Trainor seems to be playing great footy and is what North need. Draper is following up his dominant under-age year with solid senior footy form. Lalor could finish like a steam train.
Whether it's above or below the Crows, we should be in a great spot in this year's draft!
Doc.....no doubt a Monday morning special...!!!!!!And if both Richmond and The Eagles also wish to lose?

Depends who comes last but looks like Smillie will be Richmond bound if North want Trainor. I feel I am settling on Jagga, Draper, Reid and bunch of others.
We have the real potential to completely fk this up. I would not want to be the recruit manager. Reckon Twomey wont get near the top 13 this year.
FOS looked outstanding last year but without showing much you're taking a gamble. Last year he looked Wardlaw good. Not as confident now.
Hardly sighted yesterday, Smith, Reid, Smillie, Langford, Berry,Lalor, Lindsay and Ivisic all had better games in midfield IMO.I guess there's always a couple who drop right out, look at Lorenzo and Moir last year. Very very seriously doubt that's FOS though.
The last game was a ripper but a few were pretty ordinary matches early. I still like the look of this draft gringo, I know there’s no Reid type this year but just as often there’s a few bits of eye candy and then it drops way fairly quickly. This year looks to me like we’re starting around pick 4 but the first round has double the normal number worthy of having their names called.I think Twomey speaks to a lot of the list managers to get the vibe on where they sit so his magic is more in relationships than observation IMO. Still looks the hardest to call that I can remember. Lots have had horrible Champs campaigns and a few have made people sit up.
I think he does a player ranking after the champs...his Mock draft comes on the eve of the draft and is based more on club information and disclosureI think Twomey speaks to a lot of the list managers to get the vibe on where they sit so his magic is more in relationships than observation IMO.
