Happy with the outcome 

All the nonsense predictions were poor. We picked a string hard mid and a flexible skilled outside player

Perfect outcome 

Langers could be the player of this draft

Wowee. Really? Probably the same nuffies that yell "just kick it!" from the MCC. Drive me nuts.

Windsor, Tholstrup, Langford and Lindsay. All good users of the footy and competitive yet compliment each other well with their individual traits. Our future midfield is taking shape.

Whether we've consciously done it or it's simply been how the cookie has crumbled, we've been able to take 4 very differently styled (and versatile) mids

I would have hoped that we'd see an interview with JT up tonight on the MFC website...

What an absolute CRACKING outcome! Barring a left field result I think this is absolutely too-shelf best result we could ask the left-footers that OOZE class , loose and domination! Cloud #9 RN was so so glad we took Lindsay — right call & more I watch him the more he looks like a Butters/Gulden/Windsor hybrid.. Could be a momentous night in our clubs history — but even if it’s. It, it’s exciting times when you consider young talent now at our disposal!

Our best 22 next season might include pick 2 (tracc), pick 4 (oliver), pick 5 (langford), pick 7 (windsor), pick 9 (salem), pick 9 (melk), pick 11 (Francis), pick 12 (kozzie), pick 13 (Kolt), pick 15 (Jefferson) and pick 19 (JVR).

Our best 22 with six top 10 picks and 10 top 20 picks.

And that doesn’t include the winner and runner up in last year's bluey.

Not bad.

Pretty wrapped about the drafting. It’s going to be tough when Tasmania impacts the draft and feel like we’ve secured our midfield.

 

Deal of the year has to be Richmond getting North’s future first for pick 27 and future second. Big gamble from North and you’d be pretty [censored] off if you were the AFL and they struggled again next year.

North felt Tauru was a reach at pick 2, but spent a future top 5 pick on pick 27 of this year's draft

Big picture:  North offered future 1st to every club bidding after #9 so clearly wanted a key fwd and probably rated Whitlock much higher than #27.   After all there were a few 'bolters' last night.  Given their list they could afford to go for 'needs'.

They received Rich future 2nd back- probably 19 or 20 both will be premium picks as they will be first up at the start of night 2.

North have given up pick 4-6 for 19-20 and a key player; one who probably would usually be taken higher except there were many exceptional midfielders at the pointy end. 

Looks fine to me; not fantastic but an important deal for them.

Port gave up 16 and 45 for West Coast pick 15 based on what was displayed on the fox telecast. 

It doesn't make sense to me. Port give away pick 45 for nothing unless they knew west coast were going to take Berry which seemed unlikely with Bo Allan on the board.

Expand  

@Nascent gave a very good explanation of this strategy re Essendon trading similarly with Geelong last year to get Caddy.

Some other team was probably pitching a deal to WC for the pick to take Berry and Port needed to beat them to it.

Well done to JT and the gang, I'm really happy with the result.

Wasn't sure when it came to pick 11 but there was a gut feeling it could be XL once things played out that way. I'm not totally convinced that it would have been Tauru had he been available, it may have been, but I'm just really glad we went bold and addressed a need instead of going KPP in someone like Armstrong or Murphy Reid who I honestly wouldn't have minded but could have been another Bailey Laurie kind of pick. 

Bring on 2025, I think there's a bit there to work with.

as in (francis) Xavier Lindsay?  Is that a nick name?

Langford - Inside mid who can push forward

Very good blend ... some intensive training to come, some body development, some experience of the level and speed required, some improved teamwork from the regulars ... all seems like a strengthening of the team, to me.

Rivers, Tracca, Clarry, Viney to boot. Perhaps, a chastened, improved Sparrow, as well. Something smells frigging awesome.

    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

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
