Aaron Black wants out again, still contracted next two seasons. Thats what happens when you recruit Waite and Higgins.

its a sacrifice we need to make waite and higgins will do more for a flag push then he will.

We will need to rebuild in 2-3 years anyway.

I agree.  happy to let Howe play for Collingwood.  I don't think we need any more forwards.  I hope we get Jed Anderson.  We need outside run and Anderson could provide that.  He's only 21, so younger than Howe and plenty more upside.

Hey guys, any North fans hear any updates on Bastinac possibly being traded?

Also, does anyone think Bradley Mckenzie is a chance to play for you guys next year?

Norths midfield is deeper than the hawks. arguably deepest in the comp.

definitely not locking him in. Guys like Dumont are struggling to get games already. basti might leave as not getting enough of a chance.

saw NAB trade radio indications that he might go to Lions?

on the trade side of things, I don't quite get this trade from the Nth POV - Jed is an exciting young player and they don't have to develop a rookie, but unless they think it a very shallow draft pool this year, I don't quite get it??

am I missing something??  ???

Think roos are targeting specific types of players, they probably have too many inside see ball get ball types and not enough outside run and carry types (like Daniel Wells ) They will be hoping to get some earlier draft picks back when they trade Basti and Black out, although they have three second rounders, 35 38 40. so it won't matter if trades aren't successful.

Ando was taken in the 30S in a much deeper draft. He has shown something so worth more then that. We also got some mid round picks.

I think we did really really well
Title: Re: Off season news etc.
Post by: Ricochet on October 17, 2015, 07:31:04 PM
Also seen a few comments suggesting the draft is very even from picks 13-14ish all the way through to 40.

Nope confusing it with worlds.

He is worth a top 20 pick in this draft

Absolutely he is. He can play as a small forward so North's midfield depth isn't that important either. Nahas got plenty of games this year and Anderson can take his spot.

BTW he didn't ever get drafted. He was a GWS NT zone selection, traded to the Hawks for Gilham.
Title: Re: Off season news etc.
Post by: Mat0369 on October 17, 2015, 07:48:53 PM
Anderson was pre-listed player and was involved in a swap for Gilham and picks. I remember the Hawks made that horrible video where Andrew Newbold buys a kebab off Lehmo and says 'Thanks for Jed Anderson'.

It is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

Hope Kangas don't actually go through with this, Bastinac AND PICKS 38 AND 40 to Brissie, for pick 17. This would be the worst trade of the trade period. Seriously needs a little James Aish thrown in aswell, imo.   >:( Basti worth pick 17 alone and Aish worth two second rounders, that's all they're asking from collingwood.

Alas, done deal. Basically we traded Basti for Jed Anderson and significantly improved our draft picks.

Still got a first rounder 17, now got two earlier second rounders 26, 28 and even upgraded our third rounder 47.  8)

Came outta that OK, imo.

not sure its a pretty stacked team especially in the mid. Thats why basti left. the removal of the green vest should help. I reckon he is in the best 25-27 so depends on injuries.

Yep totally agree, was hoping we would see them in the meaningless NAB. We only got 7 games in total out of the 3 of them in the VFL last year before all three got season enders. We need replacements for Waite and Petrie, so somebody needs to step up.

And what is Blacks problem do you think ?
