I have been wondering for weeks what it would take to entice Zane Duursma out of North. Is reportedly disgruntled with the club, as he is held back in the pecking order. Is a forward who can kick goals and can spend time in the midfield. He played 2 games for Casey in his draft year and still has vast amounts of potential to be a star.

Worth a look but he was patchy in his draft year including a couple of ordinary VFL games for Casey (his brother put in much better Casey efforts). And Clarko’s moving him around trying to make something out of him.

Agreed. Would take a punt at a low cost if North just wanted to move him on, but wouldn't go hard. 3rd round or token pick. Could become a nifty goal scorer, but he's similar to Fritsch. Should never be allowed midfield as he's too soft.

I was staggered he went so high in his draft. Pick 4 was massive overs, and it's laughable he went ahead of Windsor, Curtin, Caddy, O'Sullivan, Sanders basically all directly after him. Clear bust of that top 10 and could see it a mile off.

Only if he was a delisted free agent. Has the Darcy Parish and Jack Billings vibes as top picks that lack the physical side of AFL FOOTY

Dual premiership Kangaroo David King, in particular, remains flabbergasted as to why Melbourne has apportioned such a large percentage of their salary cap to defenders May and Lever when other clubs – and even other teams in other sports – would usually pay big bucks for stars that impact the scoreboard.

“If you’re going to spend the bulk of your salary cap behind centre – so in the back-half – no other team does that in their competition and no other team in any code does that around the world,” King told Fox Footy’s The First Crack. “You spend money on strikers, guys that can hit the scoreboard, full-forwards, centre half-forwards or gun midfielders.

“They’ve gone May and Lever as part of their big spend, who are very good players, but what influence can they really have on winning games of football?”

You could probably find a quote from Kingy a week later saying they were bargains.

Kiddy Coleman is made of glass, cannot get fit. Same as Treloar. McIntosh is the sub most games at richmond at shouldn't be near a best 22 next year.

made of glass is hardly fair, he did an acl and has had some pain and setbacks related to getting strength and speed back in his legs as a result which seems entirely fair and after another preseason he will be right to go and will tear the joint apart again

if we wanna look at the lions take pre-agent zac bailey, we need that hard working half forward who also kicks goals and can work up the ground, hes your guy, get him and mcreery and its a different discussion i50

The irony of a premiership defender saying that about two soon-to-be premiership heroes isn’t lost on me.

My favourite King-ism nowadays is when he visits one pre-season training session per team (Victoria only) and then parades around like a professional track-watcher at Flemington
