It's very hards to see North getting a pick in the 20s AND get rid of Hale $400K/year.

Wow, $400,000 per year - where did you get that from??

If that's true then Hale can nominate a club because he holds NM over a barrel. With AAMI we have a chance - with JO we had none.

I saw that on Big Footy - yeah I know - but it came from North posters who seem to have a bit of a clue.

That would be the 2003 draft - I reckon the worst ever.

Have a look at what we missed out on from pick 20 on.

Yes, not a great deal and not a great draft for deals. (exceptions being Croad & Gram, Scotland? Meh, not really)

A least Harford went on to win media performer of the year in 2010, though I am still scratching the head over that one.

Tom Harley's "special comments" are obvious and hardly insightful... Malcolm Blight sounds like Joe Citizen giving commentatin' a "crack," and IMO if McAvaney is married, his wife is a "beard"

Just off trade week radio

Huchy reckons that we are in to Hale and we have offered up pick 12 plus 32 for Hale and pick 17

Thats a big win to North if you ask me

we are too early into our cycle of rebuilding to be trading any first round picks.

North has balked at that offer.

Not sure I am rapt about the 1st round going on Hale?

Mitch Clark - I'd throw both at him, but I'm nervous about Hale at that price.

North baulked at that offer??? I find it hard to believe that North wouldn't accept that deal & even harder to believe that our FD would be stupid enough to put that kind of a deal on the table. He is barely worth a 2nd round pick let alone pick 32 & a first round pick swap.

I'm spewing were even considering the custard tart

can't pick a ball up below his knees just a complete all around spud farmer

I'll be [censored] if we blow even our first 2 round picks on this turnip

No use spewing- let's vomite if we pick him up for what Hutchie claims.

Spew and vomit are one and the same.

thats a bit rich fror my tastes.. esp if Hale is still going to cost that 850 over the next two. Id still think Hale handy...but not at any price.

If North baulked at that offer they can keep him !

exactly my thoughts.. run MFC run...before they change their minds :)

I do not think north are dreaming, if you want something you have to give something.

It may also entail north paying part of Hales salary.

I have said it a few times on Demonland, DB said two weeks ago that the MFC may use a high draft pick

To get a Hale Type.

They believe Hale is what we need, I will support that and see what happens.

Also our list is full of kids we need some experience.

The difference between pick 12 and pick 17, in this draft with all the 17 year olds already taken is almost insignificant. You could say its luck of the player you choose.

Effectively this is a second round offer. I think this offer is fair. I don't think we are paying overs. Its what we need.

then it ought not matter to Nth either ?? by that logic.. so why include it... If it does matter.. then were paying a bit much ( for mine)

Hale's value has hit an all time high due to the interchange rules being changed.

He is not worth what hutchy said (especially considering whoever trades for him must eat 400k pa in their salary cap for the next 2 season). Sad thing is, he will actually sell for more than he is worth due to ruck shortages.

No mention yet of any help with his wages ....is that on the table ?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
