Great start to our hate watch season with north going down to a severely undermanned doggies side.
0-1, 21L’s to go.
-
Beat me too it haha.
The death ride thread.
Be hilarious if we won 4ish games and finished 17th just ahead of them.
Last uncompromised draft...if H Reid wants to come home and we have picks 1 + 2 that would be a mightly good offer before Tas comes into the comp IMO.
-
I’m not sure how he is compared to Reid but I think the prospective no.1 pick, Dyson Sharp is highly highly rated in his own right.
-
After watching our 3 first rounders and with Smillie and Hotten to come, i am pretty sure I’d like to have our our picks used by our recruitment rather than west coast using them and us getting harley
-
It all depends on how highly the top 5 of this draft are rated. Harleys clearly a 10/10 prospect but is that better than having 2 x 8-9/10 prospects? I’d rely on the recruitment team to make that call. Don’t think u can go wrong either way.
If you draft 2 high end mids with our picks this year then that’s pretty much our midfield core set with Lalor, Smillie, Hotton & 2 x 2025 first round picks.
-
I'd offer one this year's firsts and a future first, not both - might have to offer up a WA player also, preferably Green or Smith but they'd probably want Blight (as promising as he is I'd give him up for Reid in a heartbeat) :shh
-
Go to the draft with our picks for me.
-
Go to the draft with our picks for me.
Reid for a player, one first and a future first and you aren’t biting?
Thank goodness you aren’t running things because that would be the steal of the century

If we have two top 5 picks this year for them and they want a steak knives I'd take the deal and run.
Midfield of Reid, Lalor, Smillie, other guys like Ross, Taranto, Hopper.
Yep. Deal.
-
I’m not so sold on Reid. He doesn’t look fit, would definitely question his commitment

Hmm yes - seem to recall a certain player many said the same thing about during their early years, particularly the third year. :shh

Not sold on a 19yo kid living 4000km from home (a small country town in Victoria)
A kid who doesn’t want to be where he is
Will be a superstar for whichever club brings him home

How can you be so certain? At this point it’s based off potential from a decent rookie season. I haven’t seen enough to sell the farm for him

A first, future first and one mid list player isn’t “selling the farm” lol

I’d expect them to ask for both our firsts this year and our first next year. Given youd expect all those picks to fall within the top5 (not sure if the Tassie concessions start from 2026?) then that is a hell of a draft haul to be trading away. If the later of our 1sts this year, our first next year and any middling player then that’s Defs worth a strong conversation. But yeah, I rekn they’d ask for more.
-
Reckon any actual deal for Reid will involve more than two clubs and will be similar to the JHF trade. :shh
-
Just on Reid, couple fo points
He is contracted to the end of 2026, so can't see WC trading him unless it is for a mega deal for say three 1st round draft picks and perhaps a future 2nd rounder
If he does request a trade he will nominate a club. Not sold he'd nominate us....actually and this is just my opinion I don't reckon we are any chance

Don’t reckon we are any chance?
Front loaded contract worth millions more over the length of the contract is a pretty handy bargaining chip.
We will have a fortune in available salary cap space. Front loading the deal doesn’t harm where we are heading at all.
If we want to get it done, convincing Harley shouldn’t be a problem. He’s already said he would love to play for a power club with a huge fan base (Collingwood). We tick that box and will have plenty of available coin.
West Coast is the issue. If they want three firsts and a second, ooroo.
-
I wouldn't be paying 3 1sts and a 2nd.
If we get 2x top5 picks this year I'd consider those and a player but after an underwhelming performance this weekend I'd wanna see a heck of a lot more from him this year before offering even that.
-
Reid could play like dogshyte all year but he'll still be an absolute gun and a generational player...anyone says otherwise is just coping... :shh
-
He could well do a Horne Francis to West Coast but I personally don’t like that behaviour
-
He owes them nothing - they didn't draft him out of the goodness of their hearts or after everyone else overlooked him, they had pick one and he was clearly the best player that every other club would've also picked, they also knew he was a Victorian going in, on top of all the talk that he wasn't overly keen on moving interstate and the contract length for first round draft picks is mandated by the AFL, so he had no real say in the matter anyway. :shh
-
Need Melbourne to lift big time
-
Unfortunately they look pretty good, Melbourne are average. Rely on few star players.
-
And Whitlock had a big game for them in the 2s.
-
Just makes trading the pick for Reid even more of a no-brainer. :shh
-
Dees one flag….. during covid, locked up. :lol
-
North look like they are capable of winning 8-10 games . Today’s win might be a turning point for them .

Yeah I reckon they're still bottom 4.
Just like us.
An early upset win means SFA.
-
Need Saints, Adelaide, Pies, Dogs and Bombers to win as much as possible.
Eagles and us will be bottom 2. Be wonderful if Roos were 3rd last.
Not the end of the world of we lose this weekend.
-
Norf lost which is good for us but they are admittedly better than previous years. They'll win at least 8 games this year given their draw and finish above us, Eagles, Melb, Ess, Carl and possibly Port on current form. That will still give us another top 10 pick.

Not sure they'll win 8 myself. Hoping for a bottom 4 finish and we end up with say picks 1 & 5 but if there's FA compo that 5 could end up a few later. Definitely going to be a top 10 though you'd think.
-
11 goal loss :cheers
-
Norf flogged by 52 pts by the Suns :thumbsup.
If the Bombers beat the Dees tonight, then Norf's pick will be sitting at pick 4.
-
Let's go Bumbers!!
-
Eagles look real bad, must be favs for the spoon. If Allen leaves in F&A that’s pick 1&2. If I were them and a team like the bombers were offering 2 top 10 picks for Reid, you’d take that considering it looks like he doesn’t wanna be there anyway. 4 top10 picks in the last uncompromised draft would be just what the doctor ordered for them.

How is Allen worth a pick 2 highway robbery

Sadly that’s how FA works in the AFL.
-
On current ladder, and assuming Allen leaves and the Don's trade two firsts for Reid, the Eagles have pick 1, 2, 3 and 5, we have 4 and 6.
-
Current draft order not including any potential trades/FA:
1. West Coast
2. Essendon (linked to Melb)
3. Richmond
4. Richmond (linked to Norf)
5. Gold Coast (linked to Port)
6. Hawthorn (linked to Carl)
7. Essendon
8. Fremantle
-
Melbournes draw opens up, play us twice for example.I'd be shocked they finish below us, would love them to finish above Norf.
Would love pick 2 and 3, which may be pick 3 and 4 with Allen F/A.

They got smashed by north and beaten comfortably by bombers. Dees are real bad, bombers striking gold with the trade last year having dees 1st pick.

Apparently, the Eagles are also asking the AFL for a priority pick.

"If you're gonna go and bring players like Liam Baker into your football club with a first-round pick ... you can't then turn around when it hasn't worked and put your hand out and say 'we want another pick please'."

Agreed with Riewoldt.

Karma bus has parked itself outside Eagles HQ. Wonder if a coupe of their newest recruits want to get off. ;D
Eagles gave way the farm to get Tim Kelly and they've done it ever since. They don't deserve any priority picks
-
They can always trade HR to Dons and get 3 first round picks.
If Allen leaves via FA that'll be 4.
The rest is up to them as a club not to stuff it up.
-
Spot on 💯 they made their own bed now get out of it.

they will likely to do this as one of them is the dees first pick which may impact us unfortuantely.
they could end up with 1, 2 and 3

True indeed, but I'd much rather be in our shoes than their's or the Dees'.
Weagles are almost a certainty for that spoon and Dees are one of the worst performing sides along with Carlton given their list.
Wonder how long it will take before Mini is under pressure. I bet they sacrifice him.
-
Guessing Dilldo won't tell WC to suck it up and that they should've managed their list better like Vlad told us when GC & GWS entered the comp. :shh
-
Roos 50 down at 3/4 time :cheers
-
Yeah they are still bad, not worse than the eagles or us but looks like they’ll comfortably finish bottom 4 again.
Just need the dees to get their poo together so kangas can slide down to 16th.
-
Play the kids Anzac Eve.
I can see us beating North
-

85 down now, if they're better, it's only marginally.

Their defence is their weakest line by far. A team with a decent fwd line will always be able to get goals. Unfortunately our forward line consists of Lynch and a bunch of kids so don’t think we’ll trouble them too much.
Even so I’m all for it, absolute dream scenario is kangas for the spoon and us 17th but think the eagles will take some beating for that which with Allen looking likely to leave will unfortunately mean they have picks 1&2.
-
Don't care about where we finish or how many games we win. If we win games though it has to be with as many kids playing as possible.
No more Short Dow, McIntosh and a few others.
Win with this side or a close variation of it when all are fit and while waiting to get em all fit build toward it.
Vlastuin - Balta - Trainor
Brown - Gibcus/Gray - Smith. Gray while Gibcus is out. Smith is only one of about three who has the attributes for the D Rioli gig imo.
Campbell - Taranto - Clarke. We need pace and ball use on the wings desperately. HRS/Banks until Clarke is ready Seth a no brainer imo.
Nankervis - Smillie - McAuliffe. Rest Toby play Ryan if we want to see how he is travelling. Can't play both imo.
Algar - Faull - Hotton. Oh look lively classy small forwards who can rotate midfield if need be.. Faull looks like he can handle the level Physically.
Mansell - Lynch - Sims/Armstrong/Fawcett. Just rotate young talls thru this role. Tom and Nigel provide experience and toughness.
Lalor - Hopper - Broad - Prestia - Lefau. Bench is full of experience and can be thrown into areas where we struggle. Sam Lalor by seasons end hopefully is a starting mid.
Call me crazy i think there is enough experience spread thru that team with seniors on the bench,
Imo it is the team with the most potential going forward and they fit into roles suited to them.
It at least endeavors to address serious team shortcomings as well.
We are missing a trick by not aiming for something like this team. We are missing a trick by not trying younger blokes in midfield roles.
Pick players with the right attributes for the roles we want them to play.

Good work Dees

Great post… nailed it

Although I rarely read all of those long clawski posts I have to agree mate

Since North Melbourne have started their rebuild, Richmond have won 3 flags, started a rebuild, and already progressed further through their rebuild than North. On top of this, they have our first round pick for this season. We are an absolute stuffing disgrace.

Funny because it appears to be true.

The same bloke said that “they will beat Carlton bookmark it” 4 days prior
-
There is a silver lining if we lose to the Dees on Thursday.
We will hold picks 2 and 3 in the draft.

I think the win last night draws a line under what we can do. We play the 3 teams currently below us on the ladder over the next month before we hit dreamtime

April 21st, 2025
But there’s a ... 2024 trade involving a future pick to track closely this year.
And, as it stands, Richmond is in Position A … after a bonkers draft haul late last year.
Just over 24 hours after North Melbourne’s horror 82-point Good Friday loss to Carlton, Richmond pulled off a massive boilover, hanging on to hand Gold Coast its first loss of the season in a thrilling 11-point win.
Five months earlier, the two clubs completed a blockbuster live trade on night one of the 2024 national draft. The Kangaroos secured the final selection of the first round of the draft (Pick 27), along with a future second-round pick from the Tigers, who received North’s 2025 first-round selection in return.
After Round 6, the Kangaroos sit 16th on the ladder with a 1-5 record – a spot ahead of Richmond (sic - they're a spot behind us).
It means the Tigers, currently, hold Picks 3 and 4.
That Roos future first-rounder had been on the table for some time prior to the Tigers trade, with the Roos asking several rivals whether they would be willing to trade out of the 2024 draft.
When Richmond agreed to a trade, Murray Bushrangers key-position player Matt Whitlock was the player North Melbourne eventually landed at Pick 27. And the versatile and talented Whitlock, no doubt, has all the makings of an exciting AFL player in the future.
But after the weekend’s results – which saw the Kangaroos drop their fourth straight game by at least six goals – the short-term optics on the trade aren’t ideal, considering how patient North Melbourne fans have had to be.
Meanwhile, the Tigers are six games in to one of the most ruthless and aggressive rebuilds we’ve seen in recent times – and they’ve already notched two shock wins over Carlton and the Suns.
“There’s no timeline. No one says ‘you can’t win at this stage of their journey’. But I marvel at what this club has been able to do,” King said of Richmond.
“We’ve seen clubs stuck in rebuilds for eight to 10 years and not have opportunities to perform like this.”

"It's one of the more bizarre trade outs that I've seen." - Matthew Lloyd
With the club currently in 16th, will North regret moving on their first round pick at this year's draft?

Norf 1-6 ;D.
We currently hold both picks 2 & 3.

Port did their level best to make it 2-5. :shh

It was a perfect outcome.
Allows norf to think they are on track again, avoid media scrutiny and then get exposed for their limitations in the next few months

LOL lost by 3 pts :lol
Norf now 1-7 ;D

Wonderful wonderful
Lions next week. 1-8

This off-season was really bad
Darling and Parker are 32yo
They were picked up because North thought they were going to improve significantly
The trade with us is further proof of that thinking
-
Parker’s been alright for them. An experienced big body to throw into midfield to help the young core.
Darling hasn’t been good. I can understand the thinking as otherwise every teams throwing 2-3 defenders at larkey.

Would you like us getting three mature blokes in ?
They are rebuilding
It’s obvious they thought they were ready to go up the ladder and potentially fall into the 7-10 range … dreaming
It’s like when we picked up Hudson
I like Parker and he tries super hard. But a waste of time for where they’re at. Could just imagine the reaction if we picked up a 32yo this off season.

We already have our mature players lingering from our premiership team + TT and Hopper so we don’t really need to. That may change depending on what happens with Lynch at the end of the season because our kpf after him have an avg age of 19 and like 10 games between them lol.
Agree that they thought they’d improve but I don’t think even the most optimistic person would have thought they’d get into the 8, maybe somewhere around 12th at best which is why I thought we made out like bandits in that trade. Turns out and fingers crossed it stays this way that we hit the jackpot with it.
-
In 2-3 years we’re going to lose Lynch, Meatie, Broad, Kmac, Nank and probably Flossy so in reality there’s going to be a mature age top up. How that happens remains to be seen but gun free agency is my model
-
They need a miracle to finish out of the bottom three
Even if they do , will only by bottom four you would think
Thanks Nought .. great trade
-
Let’s not jinx it now.
-
West Coast last
Us and nought bottom three
Order depends on next week you would think ??
-
Bloody lions!
Then finishing 1 spot above us means nothing as long as we’re not in the spoon position.
In saying that beating them next week will go a long way to ensuring they finish bottom 3/4.
Call me a pessimist but I rekn they’ll beat us.
-
West Coast last
Us and nought bottom three
Order depends on next week you would think ??
Sounds about right to me.
If Allen stays and they don't get a PP we'll have 2+3, worst case probably 4+5.
I'll ask the question again - if Reid wants out would you trade our two picks for him?
We could try to get one of their picks back for Kellaway like p34 or p56 for example depending on how Kellaway's trajectory goes.
-
Reid looked great today but I’d be reluctant to give up 2 x top 5 (potentially 2 x top 3) picks for anyone.
I’d consider giving up 1 of them (the latter of the 2) and our 2026 first rounder given it will slide with all of Tassies concessions but I rekn WCE knock that back as he still has 1 more year to run on his contract anyway.
-
Wait do Tassie strt drafting 2026 or 2027?

With an 8-10yr front loaded deal he can’t refuse

Reid, Lalor, Smillie, Hotton, McAuliffe, Taranto, Hopper for mids and we're good for a long time.
Forward line of Faull, Armstrong, Lefau ruck relief.
Got smalls in Campbell, Mansell, Green, Alger, MRJ some work to do there maybe we get Raso.
Maybe Sims ruck if he can play primary.
Backline Balta, Brown, Gibcus maybe, Miller/Blight/Gray
Plenty to work with there.

That’s a hell of a price to pay. Both excites me and terrifies me lol
-
Norf have fallen away in the second half and especially the last quarter against the Pies. Seems last week's high contest game took energy out of both of us.
Anyway, another loss for the Roos which currently keeps us with both picks 2 & 3.
-
So who do we want to win today? Obviously north losing puts them only half a game off bottom but it also puts it right back in the spoon race too.
-
We want the eagles to win a couple more games so that Norf gives us P1 and we can take our own P2-3.

If Norf lose, then we stay in the running for two top 3 picks. First pick in the draft is looking more like being Dyson Sharp. However, the Eagles today seem to have gone to the same goalkicking school as us.
-
I agree but I really don’t want to win the spoon.
-
Norf kicked the last 4 goals of the game to win by 10 pts. Eagles were up by 18 pts 10 mins into the last but then didn't score anything.
-
As long as we finish within one spot of Norf it doesn't really matter in which order it is. :shh

Yay for mediocrity and low standards!
Not even remotely the same thing. Dumb analogy. :propeller

Yup! Would just be funnier to finish above them and own their pick lol
-
We wanted west coke to win
Pretty simple
Imagine Nort finishing last and us having the number one pick
-
Norf are not going to finish last and never were going to. :shh

Our best hope is that they finish 16th which would still be a ridiculously great result from the trade.
Just need the 11th-15th placed teams to snag another couple of wins and we should be sweet.

And Allen to extend with Coke heads.
And no priority picks.
2+3 to Cokes for Harley and a 3rd rounder for Kellaway.
Get it done tigers.
-
I think the bottom 4 are set and we finish either 16th or 15th and North 17th.

Who is the fourth team
-
I’m going with the bottom 3 myself !
-
Honestly, I can't see us winning another game. We should finish 17th or 18th but can't see Eagles winning many.
-
At this point of the season there are clearly 3 bottom teams - both in win/loss and also %.
-
Very close call tonight but another loss for the Roos :cheers

Selling their home games probably did us a favour. They might have got up tonight if it had been played in Melbourne.

Pick #3s in danger now.
-
Useless Scum never win when you actually want them too. :banghead

A wise old man once told me “never rely on a poo team”

Reality check today for the Roos ;D.
Anybody can beat Carlton ;).
-
They play the dees in 2 weeks. Big game for our pick.
-
Looked good for 2.5 qtrs but another 10 goal loss to the kangas.

Thanks Doggies!
Mind you Norf have improved despite their last two losses against top 8 sides. They have Melbourne, Sydney, St Kilda & us on the run home. They could arguably win at least three of those :-\.

Improved a lot
They probably expected this form all year when they traded us their first pick
Bad luck for them , fantastic for us
But you are correct , there is wins coming for them
-
So really we just need to throw the damned sink at them ourselves
-
The danger for us is that they could get on a roll .
Teams above put the cue in the rack
And the kangas finish a meaningless 11th
-
Good work Dees
Now time to cheer on the Aints
-
A bonus for us. I thought Norf would beat the Dees today. And they've now got Sydney away & Geelong in the next two weeks. Lose both of those and it's hard to see them getting any more than 6 wins. They play St Kilda after Geelong which will decide if Norf finish in the bottom 3 or not.

Not if the Saints win today
And let’s not forget there is a slight chance they finish second last
Apparently the side below them still has to play the Eagles as well as North and the Aints
-
I don’t think we will be taking two top 5 picks to the draft anyway. Would expect to see one traded for future 1st or similar.

I was thinking worse case scenario for us (Norf beating us and Saints). The Saints, even if they knock over the Swans today, would still need to win another game if they lose to Norf to stay above them on the ladder.
Mind you things have got worse for Norf. I didn't see their match, but they'll likely lose Xerri for 3 weeks for this high whack. Knocked out Sparrow with a swinging arm. That would be a massive out for the Roos.

See Jy Simpkin in that footage
He’s the captain isn’t he?
Would really want him backing you up when the going got tough :lol :lol :lol
-

Why would we swap one (say pick 3) and with which club? I always presumed we would target ballwinning mids in this year's draft (two top 5 picks plus F/S Kellaway).

Because it’s a fairly weak draft. I know there’s narratives every year, but this year is significantly weaker than last.
Fair question which team would want to trade into the top 5.. rumours Sydney would. Maybe other teams missing a 1st rd pick this year like Carlton. Personally I’d rather keep one, trade one and get another 1st round selection in the future.
Won’t be the end of the world if we keep the pick, I think if we don’t get sharp we pretty much have to go Duursma, high risk high reward pick. Then maybe Grlj and kellaway.

Sam Cumming could be a bolter. BOG in sanfl
-
Almost a perfect weekend.
We won
Blues lost
Pies lost
Cats lost
Hawks lost
Kangas lost (to the dees which means they have a 6 point buffer on them)
If only the saints could have gotten over the line against the swans. Think we only really need to worry about saints and bombers sliding below north.
-
Saints will beat us, Dons and North I reckon. Dons are only worry finishing below North.
-
North only have 2 more winnable games
Saints at Marvel
Tigers at Hobart .
Carlton / Melbourne/ st Kilda all play each other.
I think the status quo will remain and North will finish bottom 3 .

they may finish 4th last and our north pick ends up being close to 7.
