hes a relative unknown and probably wasnt on oppo radars until he kicked 6. tigers fans have been pointing him out as an msd pick from way before that based purely off his natural talent and hard running. when he started being a consistent goal kicker as well most of us thought it was a given we'd pick him up. especially given the dire straits of our forwardline.
A bit like D'Ambrosio and Durham?
With regards to Davidson, you'd have to think there are some major concerns about him given he is in our system and the club would know a lot more about him compared to us keyboard recruiters.
I think us not recruiting Davidson is probably as simple as rating Gray higher.Major concerns?
1- We keep playing him
2- In the VFL write ups…Davidson has had very positive reports….and
3- going off the article which says….The Tigers have been very impressed and are understood to be interested in Davidson,
Its a 52 weeks/year trade rumour mill. Relax, 90% doesn't happen. We will retire 3 or so, delist 4 or 5. Baker, JG most likely. Big deal.100% North gutted their list in the one hit
Leaving them with zero leadership and they still
Haven't recovered , we are already losing a shit ton of experienced players this year and people
Want to trade Lynch, broad , flipping ridiculous
If you only knew the jokes that run riot in my house when I purchase one of those eh eh eh , my poor wife.You ain’t no man
None of the aboveWith the possibility that Dow Cumberland Picket & McIntosh could be the last 4 players either re-signed or delisted and some talk about us being interested in the likes of Jacob Konstanty Will Phillips Elijah Tsatas & Ben Hobbs the question needs to be asked.
If you had the choice, which quartet would you take:
Re-Sign: Dow Cumberland McIntosh Pickett
or
Trade/Delisted Free Agent: Phillips Konstanty Tsatas Hobbs
or
None of the above
End of 2025 Broad will only be 32. He could go again. So could Lynch. If he gets his body right the last two years off will prolong his career. I wouldn't write him off yet.End of 25. Retire Lynch, Prestia, Kmac, Pickett, Broad types. Delist a few. Trade a few more.
We will need some of these guys to hang around 2 or 3 years with this crop of kids. Won't be a 1 year and you're on your own guysEnd of 2025 Broad will only be 32. He could go again. So could Lynch. If he gets his body right the last two years off will prolong his career. I wouldn't write him off yet.
Yeah, fresh start for a new headline that meansRioli "looks like he needs a fresh start"
Wtf he's playing excellent footy![]()
My dream scenario is Graham and Rioli go
as we will get big overs for both, and Baker/Bolton stay. When our elite draftees are kicking into gear in 2026-27 Bolton and Baker will still have 4-5 elite years left and we can contend very quickly.
So I’d be inclined to hold Bolton to his contract and try to make him happy and do whatever we can to keep Baker. Bolton will still command similar in trade value end of 2025 if he’s disgruntled or if it’s clear we’ve got a few misses in our 2024 draft haul.
But if we nail our 4-5 x top-20 picks this draft, which we should know by end of 2025, it might be a super exciting place for Bolton to want to hang around with Baker as captain from 2026 onwards.
If we lose all those players, and don’t nail majority of our draft picks, we won’t be even competitive for 5+ years, let alone contending.

You're right but due to all the outgoing players we will have from retirements, trades and delistings, I don't think we will be wanting for more list space.I think us not recruiting Davidson is probably as simple as rating Gray higher.
You can only have so many talls on the list, and if we'd also taken Davidson mid-season, then we would lose a spot to pick up another key forward in the national draft, where we'll be taking someone in the top 20 as opposed to a speculative rookie pick.
End of 2025 Broad will only be 32. He could go again. So could Lynch. If he gets his body right the last two years off will prolong his career. I wouldn't write him off yet.
Our situation is a bit unique though with all the late picks we likely need to have list spaces for or lose them and that's before we do any trades. 65 players got invited to the National Combine ahead of him too. It's not like he's going to go top 30 in the draft. He could very well end up on our list.You're right but due to all the outgoing players we will have from retirements, trades and delistings, I don't think we will be wanting for more list space.
Plus, considering MSD picks usually only get 6 month contracts, if we picked him and it didn't work for whatever reason, you can always just delist them.
We need to stop making excuses for the club when it's clear they were arrogant in the way they approached the Davidson situation.
has just signed on until 2026.Looks like he will penning an extension.

In trade week, I think the Baker and Graham trades will be done early. If we still can, we'll then bundle up our later picks along with Rioli and pillage Gold Coast for their early picks. I think the Bolton trade will be the most prolonged and hotly contested. This will go down to the wire and is just as likely to not get done as it is to get done.
my post was a reply to someone, about "going full North on the list" sayingEnd of 2025 Broad will only be 32. He could go again. So could Lynch. If he gets his body right the last two years off will prolong his career. I wouldn't write him off yet.
The point is that he is in our VFL system, the club would have a lot more insight into whether he was good enough to draft than anyone else and chose to overlook him, so there are clearly some issues which caused us to not pull the trigger when we had the chance.Major concerns?
1- We keep playing him
2- In the VFL write ups…Davidson has had very positive reports….and
3- going off the article which says….The Tigers have been very impressed and are understood to be interested in Davidson,
I posted in 2017 that Broad would be a 150-gamer and some nuffy told me he wouldn't play 15. Gotta dig that up.Looks like he will penning an extension.
We can only hope.has just signed on until 2026.
I wonder if Norf turn their attention to Shorty now.
To an extent, but you can always see when Morris gives them a clip on the way through.The write ups we get in the VFL are positive even if the player has a shocker, so take them with a grain of salt.
