Nascent

I'd imagine that due to the bye we don't need to submit an official injury report until next Tuesday.

We could luck out or get screwed over here. If North get over compensated with pick 3 for McKay (hopefully not happening) And We can't get our hands on Gold Coasts pick 4 Our pick 5 turns into pick 7 (post Walter bid) and we will most likely miss out on all of Curtin, Duursma, McKercher, Watson and obviously Reid. I think this is unlikely but is a possibility. I have faith our team will make the most of our hand and get at least one of the aforementioned players.

Caro be like

Think you have your wires crossed. Merrett made the team, Langford did not.

Possibly. They would have to be pretty confident of finishing high up the ladder, which they are every chance to do. Having said that, if they're expecting him to be a top rated pick then they probably want to bank as many points possible next year like gold coast did this year. If he's top 3, and they trade out their future first rounder, they're looking at using all of their subsequent picks and still being in points deficit. Edit: having said all that I'm sure they can get creative and bring in those extra points via trade or pick swaps

Pretty sure crows have pick 9. Depends on how many picks they want to take to the draft really. They may only take two players and upgrade a rookie. Then they could look at 9 and 20 (2381) for pick 4 (2034). Leaves them with 4 and 24. I think we'll offer a future pick as well. Will Adelaide?

Some other candidates to trade with. GWS: picks 6, 12 then 50 Geelong: picks 7 then nothing until 81. Carlton: picks 14 then nothing until 64 WB: picks 10, 17 (may looks to ship out one of these for a croft bid)

I forgot about him. He does look great but I perhaps wouldn't put him in the same category as Walter in his under-age year. Obviously a lot can change over the course of their top age year. They may very well go for it, but they run the risk of pulling a Collingwood who infamously traded out their future pick thinking Daicos would go at pick 1. Collingwood crashed to 17th with GWS the beneficiaries, using their pick 2 on Callaghan. Pies could have had both players with Daicos sliding to pick 4 for various reasons.

Haven't read the article but I think the key to getting pick 4 will be a clubs willingness to trade a future pick as well. I think we'll be more than comfortable adding a future first with our swag of picks, can't see Adelaide willing to run that risk.

Good to see some posters recognising his talents. I've been going into bat for him recently as I think he has the makings of a solid best 22 player for us. When up and running he will be one of our best ball users.

Touche

Hope the team can do him a solid and win against pies to give his foot more of a break.

North could even grab Duursma considering his late season form. Wouldn't discount Watson from being in the conversation for both North and Hawks as well.

Knee injury at 2.44 Hopefully not serious Edit: only minor but probably won't play again this season. Bendigo Pioneers star Harley Reid is highly unlikely to play again this year, with the No. 1 pick favourite set to be placed in cotton wool after suffering a minor knee injury on the weekend.

Does anyone know how significant his knee injury was last week? He didn't play this week.

I feel I may have stuffed it. When it stated there wasn't enough tickets in Cat 5, I changed category down to Cat 6 and applied for the same amount of tickets. However I think it didn't remove the tickets from Cat 5. It timed out before I realised.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll make plans to watch it at home with family and try my luck with our next final.

No luck for me, can't even buy a single ticket in standing or restricted view.

Is this a redhead 6th sense sort of thing?

He's had a very solid year McVee, glad he's getting some recognition. Has fitted seamlessly into our backline and is doing some ridiculous stuff for a rookie in our second year. Some very impressive kids this year as well. Sheezel, Ashcroft, Owens, Amiss, Humphrey, Wilmot, JvR, Callaghan, Ginbey, Michaelanny, Weddle, Phillipou, Fletcher, Andrew among others

Waiting until 3 so I can go with family. Wish me luck.

Agree. Not that Norths VFL defence was much to write home about, but McDonald get several marks on the lead with good separation inside the forward 50. Haven't seen that with him for a very long time.

Apologies if this has already been answered. Can I buy tickets for non-members at all? Was hoping to bring my wife, parents and a couple mates expressing interest. Email says one ticket per barcode but can buy 10 tickets per transaction. I take that to mean all parties would need a membership?

Club might be concerned about our lack of midfield depth, particularly if all of Dunstan, Harmes amd Jordon all move on. I dont mind him as a player but cant help but feel there would be better ways to use 5x6-700k
