Quick ball movement to an uncluttered fwd line and practice goal kicking. We threw the flag away last season.

After going rd 23 last year and using the free seats provided by the club I decided to purchase tickets this year. Got behind the goals on the top level which looks to the equivalent of level 2 at the MCG. Not excited just yet, still flat after last years finals.

O’Sullivan with 13?

Was just watching the draft version of gettable, they were speaking with Adelaide’s recruiter. They mention Adelaide has used a lot of first rd draft picks at the draft in recent years and asked if that would continue next year, the response was we’ll have to wait and see (what Petty does). Then he referenced Joel Selwood who went at pick 7 in 2006 when asked about selecting for needs v best available. I had to double check but their first pick wasn’t until 14 so he may of been referring to pick 2 Essendon : Scott Gumbleton or pick 4 lions : Mathew Leuenbeger.

So would I, I think we’ll take him.

Some earlier comments regarding uncertainty over Petty should push us towards selecting Curtin. Petty should line up at CHF for us next year, but what about May, how many years does he have left?

That’s interesting if true.

Hey, we still got the McLelland trophy…. Wasted year from both sides.

Who are currently Norths tall defenders? For a young team rebuilding they’d be stupid to pass on curtain.

I read this yesterday, what I found interesting was that many on here were waiting for Cal Twomey’s draft and he has Curtin going at 10 to Geelong.

Does anyone see any big surprises coming in the first rd?

Massive win for North, arguably could be back to back pick 1 for 2 & 3. If we’re not getting Reid, who would you think we’re picking at 2?

1 million in prize money for the McClelland trophy compared to the profits of merchandise sales after winning the premiership, more members and potentially more sponsors. Obviously we’ll take it but for me it doesn’t take away from the disappointment of this years final series. This year was a massive fail from the men’s team, even with our injuries we should have beaten the Pies easily in week 1.

Swans did well.

For those playing I guessed surnames are shared with famous Olympian’s from around the world and was wrong.

Another clue please. I think I’ve got it….

Just got back last night from an 8 day shut down and effectively nothing new.

Now we’re reading it drops off after pick 8.

Petty must be kept.

No I wouldn’t. Petty is a premiership defender who also can be a target up fwd. I know nothing about this years draft crop except for what I’ve seen on YouTube and read on line. When I asked earlier about Reid’s kicking I was told it’s good but not elite. You can can argue the whole Petracca / Danger aren’t elite kicks either they’ve both proven themselves already. Add to that May has maybe 2-3 years left and Petty is only 23.

I don’t get when people say pick 5 becomes 6 & pick 11 becomes pick 12 who will be available? To me pick 5 is still pick 5 because we don’t have access to other teams academy selections or father sons, so we should know who will / should be available come our selections. Pick 5 of available players….

I’d rather him than Reid. Purely just my opinion based on what I’ve read / seen. 189cm good mark and classy around goals.

Was that not his role at the Dogs?

If I had to swallow it, I’d go with what @Gawndy the Great suggested which was effectively using him as a link player, keeping Petty and JVR deep. But then how much do you pay for a link player and with Fritsch also fwd I think that throws out our balance. We also need pace and classy ball users.

Lobb, McKay…. Surely we’re not that stupid.
