North not getting pick 2 compo for McKay and if they did it would be Curtain

 

[Coasters7]

Reid is a special talent. When he decides to turn it on he can take the game by the scruff of the neck.

Duursma looking great as is Grant up forward.

That’s the problem though. Is this a worrying trait or is he just coasting because he knows he’s pretty much a lock for pick 1? The talent is clearly there because he’s unstoppable when he decides to be, very D.Martin- esque but will need to lift that workrate once he hits the AFL because he won’t be able to bully players like he does now

Duursma BOG. Very impressive

Harley a big second half and really strong around the stoppages. 24 touches, 11 clearances

Watson very damaging on limited chances. Did go missing for 3 quarters

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

24 disposals 14 contested and 11 clearances is a pretty good effort by Harley playing midfield.

Reid clearly an A grade talent.

Gets the ball at the source which is what we desperately need.
Strong mark and tackler too.

Not the finiished product at this stage. Nor are any of them. D Martin the best comparison.

We need that pick 1. No meaningless wins.

Harley's work in close was fantastic, and we've seen before that he's a threat up forward with his strength and marking ability. His footskills are a pretty notable question mark for me though, seems to be pretty erratic. Hopefully that improves in a full-time environment though, because the rest of his skillset is phenomenal.

If we did have another top 10 pick either from GC or losing Barrass, there's definitely some good options there. Any of Curtin, McKercher, Sanders, Watson, Dursma, Archer Ried would be handy pickups.

Wait so them hilarious takes by this board last week that “he can’t play midfield” or something along them lines…. were rubbish?

Who would’ve imagined that

 

[random260]

Reid has shown elite talent in every position. There has not been a position you point to and say he can't be elite at that positionm

Perfect cos he will start in HBF/fp/HFF for us. Then transition to outside mid/wing.

There is no shove inside mid day 1. He will have bung shoulders by 26. He needs to be taught outside game hence chuck him on wings.

There's a lot to work with Reid. If you had a one one with Reid and any other player (draft) you would pick Reid to win 9/10 hence why I want him

Yeah I think people were getting a bit carried away because he was playing forward. Played well today.

 

[eaglespremiers]

The criticisms for Reid continue to be harsh on here. Outside of the stats given above IIRC he was directly responsible for 3-4 opportunities to Duursma. So if Duursma was BOG he has Harley to thank for it.

Harley and Duursma great, so I'll skip the obvious.

Archer Reid at 203cm key forward, has got better as the champs has gone on. He's one around the pick 19 mark, strong on the lead, quite quick, good set shot and provides defensive pressure. At his height he's a tough match up as a forward and a genuine 2nd ruck height.

Demattia didn't have loads of it at half back, but thought he was really damaging when he did get it. Over the champs he's played mid, fwd and back - great versatility! Kicking and speed his weapons.

Freijah, his best game of the champs. Long legs helps his really cover the ground as a winger, strong overhead and good in traffic. Gets forward to hit the scoreboard too.

Darcy Wilson has been underwhelming in the champs, but had z really good game today. Not quite sure on his best position though.

Nyko, Windsor and Lorenz all had good games as wingers/Flankers.

Jaggy Smith, Finn O'Sullivan were great today as underagers showing some real talent for next year. Smilie was ok, didn't get much of it but you can see huge talent when he does.

Riley Sanders won the Larke medal. Mckercher probably robbed.

I thought McKercher would win it for sure. I suspect top 5 was Mckercher, Sanders, Watson Reid, Curtin.

Wardlaw subbed out with “hamstring tightness”.

Bullet dodged? Particularly with our S&C team.

He would be in a full body cast by now with our S&C team

If Adelaide has pick 4..

Pick 4, Future first (6-10), North second rounder 2023 (20) and ?? for Pick 1?

Shouldn’t you be wanting to trade for next year’s first round pick from West Coast?

Thought your board would be all over Sid Draper for next year.

No doubt he's an absolute talent and if he can avoid the injury curse he'll be a great player for North for a long time.

But when considering this plus the flight risk label, I'm very comfortable with our decisions with regard to splitting the pick last season.

In the final Champs game of this season Harley reminded everyone why he's the top prospect in the land with a dominant midfield performance to power his Vic Country team to victory over arch rivals Vic Metro.

The problem with class is that players dont have to show the same effort as humans. Is it a character floor or a phase fo Harley? Our issue is you have it or you dont.

Let norf pre list sanders as he is part of their academy zones .

They then take McKercher pick 2 .

Then merge them with tassie in 2028
