You can only trade in the ones that want to come here. Contract length well your not going to get anyone to come in if its not at least 3 years. There would be bugger all players leaving there present club to go to another one signing for less than 3-4 years its not just a North thing.

Exactly. Who on earth wants to come here? Whatever Clarko effect glow we had in the last two years is now gone also. Unless they're guys over 34 looking for a superannuation paycheck (Boag etc) it is going to be mission impossible in the 2024 trade season for us.

Doesn’t excuse the absolute trash that has been brought in from other clubs that is holding us back.
It’s the type of list management strategy that has landed us here in the first place.

Turn it up, have seen blokes from state leagues, delisted free agents etc do well elsewhere.

Turn it up. You don't have to trade for them though do you.

Harsh mate we are flying with our recruiting be that the mid-season draft, pre-season draft, picks after the top 5 etc.

 

[tazaa]

Seriously?

Not Stephens and Fisher.
Not Biggy. Definitely not CCJ
I’d rather attack the draft than land these duds.
We’re just happy for anyone to think of us and now they’re stuck on the list.

You say “name some names” like there’s something to be proud of with our latest acquisitions.
Standard “club can do no wrong” loser mentality of certain North supporters who just blindly accept the club knows what it’s doing.

Who then simple question

3 pretty handy players there if you ask me.

 

[tazaa]

Who then simple question

None mate.
The 2023 free agency list was shitful.

But this isn’t even about free agents we went and traded for a bunch of soft mercenary duds. And good for them. Both Stephens and Fisher have done well for themselves.

The AFL forcing us to trade the 2024 picks as they were up for review this year, caused us to blink and jokes on us as we would have still had them anyway.
Just gotta hope the 3 boys we took last year work out.

Hugh Greenwood
Jaiden Stephenson
Aiden Corr
Darcy Tucker
Liam Shiels
Dylan Stephens
Zac Fisher
Callum Coleman Jones
Biggie.

Brady Rawlings and co can go and get ducked. Seriously have a look at those names

Hugh Greenwood - Mature aged rookie depth player at Adelaide & Gold Coast, leadership credentials
Jaidyn Stephenson - Pick 6 rising star winning best 22 forward at Collingwood
Aiden Corr - Pick 14 best 22 serviceable 3rd tall at GWS
Darcy Tucker - 2nd round pick depth player at Freo
Liam Shiels - 3x Hawthorn premiership player but end of career, leadership credentials
Dylan Stephens - Pick 5 young player not established in Swans side
Zac Fisher - Former best 22 at Carlton but pushed out of team last year
Callum Coleman Jones - Speculative tall not established at Richmond
Biggie - Speculative tall not established at Richmond

On paper the recruiting strategy makes sense and there is a spread of high draft picks, depth players, speculative players, and players recruited for leadership - but with the exception of possibly Greenwood* you would say every single one of those players has gone backwards after coming to us.

Most of these players weren't seen as complete duds at their former clubs so perhaps it's not just the players that are the problem?

*Can't count Shiels either as I doubt we ever intended him to play as many games as he has

 

[TheKanga]

3 pretty handy players there if you ask me.

Probably wouldn't have made two prelims without those guys.

 

[ferball]

3 pretty handy players there if you ask me.

We also brought in Ben Jacobs from Port.

 

[Horace]

It should be noted that part of the problem is due to the AFL (acting to placate all the other clubs) gave us that "magnificent" draft assistance last year, which stipulated that we had to trade those extra picks or lose them.

Its called the "Clayton" (for those too young to remember this, its nothing to do with Scotty Clayton) assistance, being the assistance you get when you get no assistance. Another s****** performance by the AFL.

Greenwood, Corr, Fisher (jury is out but he’s not the worst) and Shiels - all a yes from me.

Greenwood just never gets played.
Never gets a game by our hard-nosed, standard-setting elite team of dynasty builders.
They’d rather see, for the 8th time, if Sleevo will be any different.
