2023 trade talk (Part 3)

Furthermore, he’ll have some decent backup in Ridley and co’.

Furthermore, although our mids aren’t as strong as we’d like defensively it’ll still be a change if pace on how quick the ball enters the D50 than he is accustomed to. Mckay for us is a no brainer pick up and a clear upgrade, the slag some of us have had on getting him is ridiculous- and he’s come without compromising draft capital. Yes pick 3 is insane, but it’s not our pick 3 so who cares.

Whilst I agree with you, but is our team defence that much better than North Melb ? I think it will come down to the fact Mckay will compliment our defence and will be a point of difference

Our Midfield was better defensively than North’s for a majority of the year I would think, but abysmal come the drop off. Even then, it still got ontop of North.

He would be had he picked Hawthorn :rofl:

He just needs to stay fit. Hopefully now he’s a bit older, he’ll be right. He was 199cm and 95kg in his draft year. Supposedly he’s now 202cm and 104kg. I’d imagine he’s probably done adding bulk now, so hopefully there’s fewer injuries as a result.

I hope so.

North lost Ziebell, Logue (injury), McKay & Hall

Sheezel probably needed in defence

Clakko should chase LAV.

Move McGrath to half back and put Baldwin in the other pocket. LAV is the one I can see falling out of favour eventually. Is there another role for him.

Would be nice to send LAV to North for a future end of first compo pick.

Nathan Broad and Alex Keath probably count more than Silvagni does.

Broad not a key defender, I thought Keath was alternaltive talent, so not technically accessable in draft to everyone, even though he was added as a rookie

It doesn’t matter if he is or isn’t.
Simple fact is he was gettable and plugs a gapping hole in our backline.

He’s definitely more of a key defender than Jack Silvagni though.

They should be focusing on bringing Curtin into the club rather than Reid.

Fantasia done medical at Giants.

His body disintegrated during the medical surely?

Adam Cooney and Cam Luke have great chemistry and are the most listenable AFL media personalities out there. Thats my take.

Compared to the others, they seem like genuine mates, are somewhat witty and have a good level of knowledge.

Hannan went Footscray 2nds to Melbourne to Bulldogs.

Are we forgetting Sam Taylor? In the best 2 or 3.
