Gee, there's some mayo in that article. "Essendon fan", "great mates with Nate Caddy", "first to congratulate Caddy on draft night". Almost like it would be unthinkable to have him play anywhere else.

My understanding was that it was the whole state and the Tiwi Islands. Would be consistent with the AFL’s messaging of trying to grow indigenous recruitment and participation.Isn't there some small slice out of the NT that we are not getting though....which from memory is where all the good players have come from....can't remember what the place was called. Was a little slice on right hand side of NT map I thought
100% this is exactly what they’ll doNah the AFL is likely to change it in 3 years once all the good players have gone just to screw us over.
Would be great get to have the Tiwi Islands...watch the scum and tigers start to complain when a Rioli or Long start to come through our NGA!!My understanding was that it was the whole state and the Tiwi Islands.

And that's when they change the rules again.Would be great get to have the Tiwi Islands...watch the scum and tigers start to complain when a Rioli or Long start to come through our NGA!!
And much like the Waco tragedy the Kako tragedy will be remembered as one of the strangest and most tragic incidents in AFL draft history, a siege between * supporters and members of the religious group Big Footy.Big protests in city at moment. Hearing it's related to the Kako rule change.

Oh really. Well that's not great at all.Heard it was multiple times in one game. Kinda less of a mistake and more of a perspective, if true.
Get him north of half back get Kerch on wingHouston, we have a problem
It would be criminal to have a multi-premiership 200 game player sire a son and for that son to be picked by an opposition academy…And that's when they change the rules again.

I'd love Houston at North. Assume if he left he would be looking at going to an immediate contender (such as us )
I wouldn't think twice about offering $1.5m x however many (frontloaded) and pick 2/3 for Sam Darcy (OOC 2025), but I still doubt it would get done.Genuinely, who would we target from a key forward perspective to bring in via trade?

I'd seriously consider pick 2/3 and F1 for him TBH.
Almost certainly not. Thing is... football careers are short. Surely money means something. Case in point - Sydney pinched Buddy from the Hawks right after a premiership.No chance he moves.

I think we punters underestimate how much North could frontload a massive contract over the next three years. What we need more than anything right now is a mobile 208cm contested marking freak. I'd happily give up a stupid amount of the salary cap to make it happen, and I doubt there are many, if any other clubs who could offer the same.
There are no topliners left OOC or FA this year.
The only ones next year are Darcy, Allen and Thilthorpe.
Its not until 2026 that more options open up. So in the unlikely scenario we score any, we'll be paying a massive premium.

Left-field thoughts for pontificating sake:
Rationale for inclusion is broadly that most are 1) outside best 22, 2) being underutilised, 3) play for teams near the bottom who may be open to a trade to fast-track rebuilds, or a combination of the three.
- Sam Weideman (OOC 2024) - 27 years l 197cm
- Sam Day (UFA 2024) - 31 years l 196cm
- Ben Brown (OOC 2024) - 31 years l 200cm
- Darcy Fogarty (RFA 2024) - 24 years l 194cm
- Mitch Lewis (UFA 2026) - 25 years l 199cm
- Max Gruzewski (OOC 2026) - 19 years l 192cm
- Noah Balta (RFA 2025) - 24 years l 194cm
- Tom Lynch (OOC 2025) - 31 years l 199cm
- Wade Derksen (OOC 2025) - 23 years l 194cm
- Jack Lukosius (RFA 2026) - 23 years l 195cm
- Rory Lobb (OOC 2026) - 31 years l 207cm
- Ryan Maric (OOC 2026) - 19 years l 196cm
A bunch of these are 1) cooked, 2) not really KPFs, 3) fanciful, or a combination of the three but they remain fun to think about.
