I guess we can put the Naughton discussion to the side… https://x.com/traderadio/status/1708656117948317882?s=46&t=uC9z4AjzfWvj5kf1WQ6J6g

Paging @goodwindees

@binman give us your punts for the day Looking to get something out of today…

@goodwindees on the money again

I can’t wait to watch him kick 30.70 at the G next year 😤 Get it done Dees

I’m presuming the rumour you heard that had you grinning wasn’t in regards to a key forward then, Nudge?

The Dogs have reportedly offered their future first round pick in addition to their two first round picks this year

Interesting comments from Tom Morris regarding senior players acknowledging they’d like to see some fresh voices around Goodwin: https://x.com/1116sen/status/1705440604203925868?s=46&t=uC9z4AjzfWvj5kf1WQ6J6g

I think you’re right but worth pointing out that the Dogs are heavy favourites to land pick 4 and it’s been reported they are really keen on Watson (I’m guessing to compliment Cody Weightman in their top heavy forward line) With West Coast also reported to be almost set on taking Reid with pick 1, draft night could look something like: WC P1 - Reid GC P2 (Matched Bid) - Walters North P3 - Curtin North P4 (McKay compo) - McKercher? Hawks P5 - Duursma (reported as being very keen on him) Dogs P6 - Watson Melbourne P7 - Sanders? O’Sullivan? Caddy? Despite all the talk about GC P4 I actually think the McKay compo will be the biggest factor in shaping draft night

A fair outcome imo - North have a great young core and one of the best coaches of all time, anything more would have been overkill

He has some shocking misses but gets so many opportunities that he usually makes up for it - I’d trade for him in a heartbeat Would love to see him play almost a similar role to TMac in 2021 - taking big grabs up on the wings and delivering to our forwards advantage

Caroline Wilson reporting Yze has the Richmond job

Would love to nab him and play him in that “quarter back” role that N Daicos plays for the Pies

Jacob Koschitzke from the Hawks has requested a trade to Richmond

We’re still implying that Sparrow was responsible for Petty’s injury are we? 🤦‍♂️ How about McKay not executing the tackle in the way he did or the AFL not scheduling us to play in Tassie at that woeful ground for the upteenth time

No new information about any targets or potential movements - just Ralphy’s list of players he suggests we go after ranked from ‘Hail Mary’ types like Oscar Allan and Harry McKay to more gettable options like Mabior Chol Honestly nothing that inspires any confidence of being able to lure across a star key forward - but then again what would Ralphy actually know about who the club might be talking to 🤷‍♂️

The right call and suggests that Petty will remain forward next year In my opinion Tomlinson needs to start next year as the third tall and keep that position until one of Disco Turner or Jed Adams (or any potential recruits) force him out with consistent VFL form Having said that you would have thought that this was the obvious call this year when Petty was moved forward but the FD never seemed convinced by Tomlinson, despite our defence always looking solid with him in the side

Has he got any plans tomorrow night? 👀

Hickey’s retired mate

Great analysis 🙌

64 inside 50s for 123 for Brisbane 69 inside 50s for 53 for us Shows what a functioning forward line can do… albeit against a pretty leaky defence

Any link to a source on this one ElDiablo? If it was true - I’d be all for it. We’d have the cap space to pay for his contract for two more years (after the inevitable departing of a few players this year) and the key forward market has been bare for a few years now, so you’ve got to jump when one is available My only concern would be how much of our draft hand we would have to give up - as good as Lynch would be for us while we try to capitalise on our list over the next few years, I wouldn’t want to be giving up much if it meant we were not bringing in elite younger talent either through the draft of potentially FA If we were talking about an Aaron Naughton or Oscar Allan type it’s a different story as they’d have 10 years of footy ahead of them, but Lynch would likely have 3-4 at most Anyway, all hypothetical - will be very curious if there is any truth to it though!

Appreciate the info GNF but wouldn’t North be better positioned should they receive compo from a McKay trade?

Would much rather play the Lions in a QF than a Prelim - but if we finish 4th and beat the Pies in a Prelim we’d have a dream Prelim scenario against one of Port, Swans or Saints (presuming Port lose to Lions at the Gabba) Although lose against the Pies and it’s Carlton or GWS/Doggies at the G and Lions at the Gabba A week one win huge in that scenario

Info, opinion or bait Nudge?
