whatwhat say what

why stop there? go to 13 to match the # on his back

signed up at gc17 chol is the one on the market, and he's going to north - i suspect as part of the deal for their new magical future firsts for pick 4 etc.

to be honest, the king bros don't do a huge amount for me their primary ability is height, and they both suffer from a shortage of the greatest ability of them all; availability

tagger - primarily roll is to stop the opposition player they're assigned to having effect on the play cooler - someone that you move on to someone when they're getting 'hot' to stop their influence on play reckon the phrase has been a thing for five or so years now?

two nuffies talking rubbish they openly admit they have no idea what we're doing which, i suspect, is just the way that tim lamb likes it; we don't leak

yep, another 'cooler'

because the best teams don't deploy taggers - they use ball winners in terms of a 'cooler' we tend to send viney to stop the best stoppage player

a wa ruckman with a name like that - superhero initials! - belongs at the dees

i would say that it'll be band 1 otherwise they would've been given pick 3, immediately after their own pick, as an assistance pick

he's played more afl games than his dad at the same age... i personally think his best role is an inside mid - he's the next cab off the rank given jj is out the door for that role

i can't see us willingly let harmes walk along with jj we are light on for midfield depth as it is, let alone senior bodies inside mids in 2024: petracca viney brayshaw oliver sparrow woewodin even if you add rivers that's not a lot of depth

gifted? no, allocated - as was the rule at the time how north got this 'assistance package' has been arbitrary and opaque big difference between this and us getting $cully plus i was more referring to the post-$cully era where neeld took us into the deep darks of mordor

more likely given them these picks to enable them to get pick 4 but not direct access to riley sanders

it all depends on whether those 2024 end-of-first-round picks are tradeable or not if they are, then north will jettison them quick smart because they wouldn't want to suddenly have 7-10 wins next year and lose em; better to use em this year they're in the box seat to get gc17's pick 4, which means in addition to their own pick and the likely compo pick for mckay they're likely to hold picks 2-4 inclusive at the pointy end of this draft it's the sort of compensation concession we would've killed for when we were a hot mess on field

gives north the ammo to make a run at pick 4 and hold 2-4 inclusive geez we'd have killed for this sort of compensation-for-being-[censored] draft assistance when we were at our worst

so if north trade out their two 'bonus' end of 2024 first round picks...how the blazes can they be reviewed if another club holds them?? helps having laura kane as the new head of footy eh, who worked at north first as a consultant and then as paid staff

i'm expecting we'll go the key defender in o'sullivan if he's available with our pick, but i for one would love to add to our midfield stocks

i believe it's retention rate post kick

i believe that has to do with retention rates post-kick?

larkey signed a long term deal this year to remain at north he's the key to their future prospects and is going nowhere

they don't grow on trees, as per the players you outlined, but they do tend to only be available at the very pointy end of the draft: Keidean Coleman - pick 37 academy selection Nick Daicos - pick 4 father-son Steele Sidebottom - pick 11 (in 2008 - has been playing at an elite level for 15 seasons!) Josh Kelly - pick 2 Lachie Whitfield - pick 1 Sam Walsh - pick 1

chol and elijah hollands did their trade prospects no harm

if yr looking for a demon friend to tag along with...i'd happily be one of yr 6 nearest and dearest (price dependent) pm me!

the 'compensation' aspect of free agency pretty much negates the desire of those down the bottom of the ladder who lose a free agent to use the available cap space to tempt a similar free agent to come to them - it's all about maximising the compo what a surprise that the afl would curtail player movement with arcane rules and bizarre set-ups...

he's going to be their chf for the next decade and has just signed a new deal going nowhere
