We need outside run and small forwards.These can be found or developed. Jeremy Cameron is very expensive. As RFA he would would cost 1.5M at least. It may mean we need to sell off Petracca or Angus. We have 1 or 2 too many great midfielders which will be hard to pay. 

We would win a flag with Jeremy Cameron in our team like Tigers did with Lynch. They didn't balk when Reivoldt was still kicking goals, as they knew they had to get one of the best. They had small forwards but they came up with the contract and got the chocolates. Time is right, Now or never.

There’s a lot more holes to fill to win a flag, this is not the answer

He missed that we traded North’s first rounder back a few spots which got us the Rivers pick. Makes it look even better for us

First time in a while that I can remember being halfway through their first season and being so excited by our first three picks in a draft

Brings back memories of $cully, Trengrove, and Gysberts... ?

Kozzie Pickett vs pick 10-13 in what pundits  are describing as one of the weakest drafts ever

What else is there to say except 'Thanks North'.

What is even better is that pick 10-13 will be pushed back to 15-20 after all the top academy and aligned players are taken.

Can't imagine we would get the likes of Kozzie with that sort of a pick this year.

Kozzie is a bit of a bargain really.  And we get a year of experience into him.

Yes the original trade with Nth was a win for nth as we included 26 and 50 but when we traded nths pick (8) to freo for 10 (12 pickett)  we got an i think 28 (rivers) back from freo which equaled everything out.

"Restricted free agent Williams politely declined the long-term commitment and those talks are indefinitely on hold as 17 other clubs circle the speedster.

North Melbourne has reportedly shown interest, while the Demons are actively looking for more pace and skills. These two clubs will have plenty of competition if Williams remains unsigned this time next month."

One a bit left field is Shaun Higgins.. i think Nth might look to gut the place in terms of age and therefore older players will be up for grabs.. he would be a great pick up as he has so much class.. could be great off a Half back.. just a thought.. feel free to howl it down.

Preuss - 2nd (if we're lucky) or 3rd rounder

No one is giving you anything for ANB, Smith or Hunt, maybe a 4th rounder for ANB if you're lucky

Will be Interesting to see if Norf use their 2 x first round picks to bid on any of the aligned players. Or if other clubs with top pick do, for that matter.

I like that happening because it means 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks get gobbled up for points, and our later picks move up the order and potentially become very handy. For example, 48, 60 and 62 might end up being 32, 45 and 46.

Depends what numbers the picks might be. ATM Geelong have 16 & 17 and Bris have 18 &19. Both pairs are 1st rounders.

Would you give 18 & 19 for Papley? I certainly would, dc!

Isaac Smith > imo, younger and more reliable (body wise)

We can always strengthen i think the stick with what we have attitude is wrong. the time is now to go all in on the next 3-5 year period.

i like the Tarrant and Talia talk a lot too (allows OMac and Smith to leave) and i wouldnt be opposed to a preuss trade rewarding the man if the top ruck spot opened up (cats/giants/hawks/swans) we would bring in a CCJ type to replace him and probably pay them less (also more fwd suitability) 

vanders is not the answer on the wing and jones wont be in the side next year so a williams/polec/hunter style player is an absolute necessity with hibbo being 30+ too. obvs not discounting rivers in that role too. 

With Hunt/CWagner presumably falling off the list and ANB/Baker pretty close behind a small forward is ideal. I keep saying Cockatoo and i wouldnt be opposed to a Petrucelle (WCE) either. 

and Pete Wright cannot be happy at the suns surely 

Also Smith has no trade value as hes OOC he'll be delisted and picked up that way or will be for an exchange of picks that moves us up the draft.

    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
