Title: Norths 1st Round Pick - 2025 Hate Watch
Post by: Tiger Khosh on March 15, 2025, 10:40:50 PM
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

Post by: Tiger Khosh on March 16, 2025, 01:04:10 PM
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

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’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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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'."

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.

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.

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.

There is a silver lining if we lose to the Dees on Thursday.

We will hold picks 2 and 3 in the draft.

3&4 after the AFL give the Cokeheads pick 2 as compo for Allen.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Instantly

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

Thanks. I would too especially if we get a pick back that we can use to secure Kellaway.

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.

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.
