I read that as West Coast putting a price on pick 1 and that price is ****ing juicy. Win win for the Eagles if we stick to it.

 

[WCE_Phill]

I wonder if the Hawks and Sammy Mitchell do us a favour

Come out and public declare they'll offer 4, F1 and McKenzie for pick 1.

Force Norf to offer 2,3, 19 and 20

As a reward well give them 36 and 43 for Brockman

Send the cats 19 and 20 for 7

Go to draft with 2,3 7 and 26*

 

[Cornelius Roy]

So north has received three end of first round picks, a second and third and now what should’ve been a second round pick upgraded to pick three as a stimulus plan. In essence, two priority picks including a first rounder every year for three years.

Yet after a historically bad year we can’t even get an improvement in academy access of 20 picks to one player.

Assuming we win the spoon again next year we’d better be lining up with our hand out in a year where midfield talent bats deep.

Don't have access to read this but from someone copying on the hawks board:

"West Coast wants to take Tongala prodigy Harley Reid with the first pick in the national draft unless North Melbourne is prepared to swap picks 2 and 3

The Eagles have settled on Reid as their clear top target and were left impressed by his interview at the draft combine last week, with some likening his presence to Hawthorn champion Luke Hodge."

Seems pretty definitive - huge if true.

If this is all legitimate that is the best article I’ve read all year. 2 and 3 is the absolute minimum I’d be prepared to accept. Confidence growing we’re taking Reid.

 

[KERRPOW]

If North match they force a trade.

North will know the pick before deciding to match. Pretty sure they changed that after Ebert, or was it Selwood?

LOL i remember us getting screwed with scooters FA compo...was like an end of second round pick.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

1. Another option is for North Melbourne to acquire pick 11 in a trade with Gold Coast and offer West Coast picks 2, 11 and a future first-round pick for pick 1, but that still may not be enough to satisfy the Eagles.


2. North did not match Essendon’s offer to McKay, which is believed to be less than $800,000 a year. The compensation selection is a reward for the way the Roos have handled McKay’s situation this year, delaying on offering the defender a new deal.

The above from the article.

1. ****en lol. Get out of here North.

2. The bolded sums up everything that is wrong. A "reward". **** me.

 

[Ghossein]

If you're the worst team in the league, it's highly unlkelt that you have 4 players hitting free agency at the same time that would be worth offers that would trigger round 1 compo.

If for example we'd been in the situation, i think the only player who meets the threshold (8+ years of service) that would trigger an offer that would have given band 1, would have been Barass. Everyone else is either too old (McGovern/Darling/Yeo), or not enough service time (Allen/Ryan/Hough).

It's unlikely but there's nothing to suggest it's not possible?

It's more of a hypothetical to show the absurdity of dishing out picks based on salary + ladder position. It almost incentivises tanking further.

fek that beggar club. constantly requesting for handouts.

they already have a raft of players who were first round picks and they still suck ass

 

[Jukes]

Reid or Pick 2 and 3 is a win-win situation for us.

Interestingly, if the article is correct and the Dees go Caddy then that leaves Curtin or O’Sullivan going at the Cats pick.

Can’t wait for 3-4 years time when we’re all hailing Clarkson as super coach again with zero reference made to this charity.

 

[Sammy J]

As ROB said, you need to turn our head to get our attention.

What’s that going to take? It sure sounds like 2 and 3 is going to be a starting point. I don’t think North would do it, as much as they need a franchise type face that Reid would give them. McKercher and Duursma/Curtin would add plenty to their side. McKercher reminds me a bit of Josh Kelly, who North chased considerably. They could also use assistance up forward or down back, and any of Duursma/Curtin/O’Sullivan likely provide that for them.

I’d rather see Reid in blue and gold with a 9 on his back. He’s exactly the type of player we need to compliment our midfield and forwards.

Would much rather keep 1 and trade with the cats or gws for their pick if sanders, Curtin or O’Sullivan available

 

[Falco]

2 + 3 is the starting point for me. Would need something extra, like 14, or 19/20 for our F2.

1 + F2 for 2 + 3 + 14.

1 + F2 for 2 + 3 + 19 + 20

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Would rather 2, 15, 20, 2x 2024 compo picks than 2 & 3.

North just hand over 2 & 15 plus a bunch of stuff they don't deserve.

 

[CountryLad]

2 & 3 is fine if it’s McKercher and Duursma

However 2,8,14 would be better if it’s McKercher,Curtin/O’Sullivan and then someone at 14.

Don’t see the need to take Curtin top 3.

Yuk. That sees us with one top level pick for pick 1. No thanks

 

[Dark Sharks]

Curtin MIGHT be a reach with 2 or 3, but you'd still do it. Not worth running the risk.

Gets a guaranteed gun mid in Mckercher + A classy.... Tall/mid/flanker whatever Curtin ends up being.


Brander.

I recon having 2 & 3 will just lead to us trading down 3 to 5/6 + something.

A lot of things you can do once you have 3, assuming we have a target in mind who is going drop

Yucky.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Hope the Norf board is in absolute freefall after that article was published.

All three of them.

 

[Rajeshtalk]

North have 7 first rounders to throw at us, i hope ROB is able to resist all of them for Reid but if not we have a truly great hand this year and next years draft

 

[Spooky17]

I was feeling the need to have a pre-melt at ROB et al giving up Reid and caving to a sub-optimal pick swap, but that article, if true, has given me some hope.

Reid or two of McKercher/Duursma/Curtin, we can’t lose.

 

[Falco]

Who bids on Walter? Do we pull the trigger at 1 to burn GC? When do we think it will happen?

 

[Scooter#10]

All three of them.

Indeed they are. Telling us all to go and get ****** and we can keep pick 1
