Taylor said on the road to the draft podcast (and I can't remember the exact words) that he was down on this draft but was starting to find about 30 he liked and had a few in the naughty corner. Might not be the top end quality or the back end depth but the 3 picks in the 2nd round should all be guys the recruiters like.

I'm also hoping the 2nd round is a good spot for those speed and skill types who don't quite crack the first round.

Ling, Richards and O'Brien are of the type, all likely in the 12-22 range. Petrucelle might get through to us.

How many times does this stupid [censored] rumour have to be denied, by Hogan, his manager and the club?  Sheesh!

Its highly unlikely gc would trade pick 2 any. Its even more unlikely eith less the 48hrs to go hogan would suddenly request a trade

And even less likely that the MFC would accept it. We are making a tilt for finals next year and won't want to be bringing in top 10 draft picks that will be at least a couple of seasons away from providing much in the way of benefits.

Yes, but 2 could be used to poach an experienced A grade player

It is too late for that, all the trades over the next 2 days are all in the works by now, you cant get a A grade player without weeks of talks, lever took Months to swing, stars don't move or clubs don't trade them without a fight in a day

It depends who we've kept under wraps for the last few weeks. ;)

Part of feeling the Hogan trade may still be an option and I acknowledge it is still only a remote possibility is that Melbourne , Freo and Hogan May have known about this for some time. If so the targets for those picks may have already been identified.

Good luck to him. Port play a hard, fast, contested style of football. Jimmy Toumpas comes to mind. Obviously with less fanfare. Has he been delisted by Port now?

Cheers billyb. I'm an avid collector of utterances that have or will only ever be spoken once by a single individual among many many billions over the entire course of human history back to the advent of language and through to our species' inevitable extinction.

Yeah that was lever no one else, that's done

Lever wasn't kept under wraps because he wanted to move. I wouldn't mind betting that was leaked by either Lever's management or even Adelaide.

We're very good at keeping thing in house and it wouldn't surprise me if we had maintained contact on the DL with a contracted player.

We'll see. Maybe, maybe not.

Still clubs don't let star go easily, you still need to deal with the club, there is no time left to swing s big fish

In response to your original reply Same stuff you are ETthe tradebreaker.

I thought a photo was more appropriate. 

We don’t have picks 2 or 5 and North wouldn’t give up Ben Brown for either one.

Offer North pick 2 or 5 for Browne, see if they have enough time to respond in 36 hours?

Assuming the secretary of the North Melbourne FC types at 90 wpm, it will take all of 36 seconds to draft an email saying, 'Thank you for considering the North Melbourne Football Club with your generous offer. We have given it our due consideration, but our internal research indicates that you don't currently hold the picks outlined in your proposal. In this respect, we will have to graciously decline at this point in time.  Kind regards, NMFC.'

I assume you meant odd. I was replying to a previous poster who said we de didn’t have time for a trade, You offer a trade that gets their attention and it’s done. Try to keep up tradebreaker.

No need to be condescending. Either way, North would still laugh at that offer, therefore a trade wouldn’t happen.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
