Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

[Spud11]

North have had the toughest draw. We’ve almost exclusively played teams that are better than us. It’s not fair.

No wonder you guys look a million bucks in the preseason hit outs.

You get to play against North more than anybody else.

Could be the first time that North and Crows supporters will be quite on this post …….. during summer

We even lose to North.

That's beside the point. You're acting like they must trade for experience for the sake of it. Of course trading in players can be worth it but only if they're the right players at the right time.

There is no downside to taking high picks to the draft.

"If Rawlings has any brains, they’ll trade their top pick out this year for extra picks to send to other clubs for quality older players."

The word 'naive' doesn't even begin to describe this train of thought. How did it go for Clarko back in 2016-2019 when he had an appetite for wasting list spots on older players?

Clarko? Not as well as the hawks 2010-15. Highly succsssful then. The mix needs to be got right.

At this stage North need experienced players not more youth.
Imo overall they have near on the best collective youth under 23 already.

Do they? Sheezel absolutely, Wardlaw and McKercher should be good but I'm not convinced on the rest of them yet

Think people get tricked into thinking LDU, Larkey, Xerri, etc are still in that u-23 bracket, which would make them the best if it was to be the case.

It sounds ridiculous, but you'd be surprised how often that happens. The more casual footy fan would have no idea outside of their own club.

under 23 ~ Powell, Wardlaw, Sheezel, McKercher
23-26~ Xerri, LDU, Curtis, Fisher, Larkey, Zurhaar, Simpkin, Logue, Comben,
27+ ~ McDonald, Corr (both are 30)

North clearly need more mature talent, they have nothing over the age of 26. Under 23 is high quality but shallow.

How is that list still so thin.

Yeah I should of said under 26.

Hey Kane McGoodwin … No spine hey?

Dear will never dominate a final hey…

You were so mouthy… the kid ripped it to shreds.

I’ve got a scarf all ready for you next week.

 

[SSSSSS]

Duursma over Wiz lol.
Edwards over Newcombe lol.
Dawson over Massimo lol.

7 goals from two first year players, in their first final, in front of 98,000.

This club is primed for success - are 4-1 in front of 75,000 plus, and that's before the window has opened.

On the other hand, there is the Crows who are still heavily reliant on Taylor Walker

Enjoy your win.

When did I say Dear would never dominate a final?

Enjoy your win, but no need to make lies.

Stay classy & you will gain more respect around here.

Btw, I have checked out of this thread thanks to your moderator months ago, so no need to keep tagging me in.

Duursma over Wiz lol.
Edwards over Newcombe lol.
Dawson over Massimo lol.

Dursma over Wiz isn't quite lol worthy yet because Dursma is, or at least will be, a quality prospect, despite sitting a long way behind Wiz at this point and time, but I'll give you the other 2. Especially Edwards over Newcombe.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Kane McGoodwin Dear > Thilthorpe easily

Tongue in cheek regarding Duursma.

Think he will be a gun. Loads of talent.

I still think North needed a small forward before another medium forward though so it's a bit of a head scratcher that you didn't go Wiz, especially as Clarko was a HUGE fan of him.

Let's judge in 5 years time.

Confident Thilthorpe will be a premier forward of the competition.

Dear looks bloody handy too & bargain pick. We picked the wrong Dear...

Kane McGoodwin telling someone to “stay classy” that is gold. Is classy bagging the crap out of your own coaching staff, board and players. Taking a lesson in “class” from you wouldn’t benefit me one iota.

Why did you check out?? What a sook.
Things didn’t quite go your projected way did they.

You banged on and on about Dear not being good enough. Wasn’t at the level of Tilthorpe etc etc. Argued black and blue about our “spine”. You really want me to go looking?

Its a shame the Crows were robbed last year.

Matthew Nicks is made for September

 

[Sizzlesilk]

You honestly want to put your reputation on the line with this argument that Dear will be a better player than Thilthorpe.

Go for it!

Hers a start

This post is an example of why I checked out.

You & many of your supporters really lack class, when you should be celebrating your finals win when most supporters didn't expect you would be playing finals.

Don't bother tagging me in again as I won't reply as I have more important things to do.

Enjoy your wins & yes a good coach makes a heck of a difference!

Nothing to worry about regarding Thilthorpe. Will be a gun. Just starting to figure out that he's a big ****ing boy and will learn to use his size.

Can't say who is going to better out of Dear and TT but will enjoy watching both for the years to come. Very different forwards but both exciting.
