Mate your list is vety good. You have some good young players. Probably dont need to go hard in trade week. Just target some areas in the draft. probably a young ruckmrn if you lose macintosh.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

As an aside, is this lad likely to be as good as the all the hype suggest he might be?

it worries me that we have been in desperate need of a couple big defenders and done nothing about it
pederson would be ideal with the change but for some reason did not get a go
grima and thompson are good but they are better on the third and fourth forwards
would also play edwards before hanson everytime
would personally be trying to trade hanson

Daw could be an option. What a talent

If they actually get this deal over the line it will be the best trade of the year
it might even just save JB but more importantly it might just get rid of the old fellas behind the scenes who have tried to shape the club their way and put us back ten years
really hoping it goes through because with a pretty good young list and coach what we need is some stability and brains running the show

Yeah, but has had his chances, its more cut throat than ever now, esp in a year of a strong draft and rookies doing well. Have one bad year and you are in trouble.

5 picks inside the top 60 is a great spot to be in, more confident of a great future than ever.

another two aboriginal lads gone
yes i know we still have thomas and wells
but our history is not good
sansbury,2 x motlops,campbell,garlett and a couple i cant rember have never been given a real go in the past i believe

warren and speight unfortunately are to similar to about six others on the list

still think we have real problems defensively and really need another good hard defensive crumbing foward
rapt to see greenwood survive
i cant believe he doesnt get a real go because he is by far the best defensive midfield tagger we have
we stand as one
we fight as one

S Motlop is a premiership player

Wasn't room for both Thomas and Campbell in our forward line and Campbells big night at the Casino would have helped that decision. Was never a Garlett fan.

Agree with Greenwood but he would want a huge 2013.

Great to see us cutting players that could have easily stayed on the list, good signs.

Played 46 games since he debuted in 2009 and was drafted in 2007. Has had injuries but I agree deeman should be given more opportunity. I wonder if he'll consider a move back to South Australia over the next couple of years if North don't given him more opportunity?

I thought Greenwood has always been pretty highly rated at North?

Also, I hope Daw gets a good crack at it next season. Could be a superstar.

biggest problem with greenwood is the fact that he is our number one in and under midfielder which saw him crusified for holding the ball in and under to many times
they actually rate cunnington more than him for some reason
cunnington is a similar player but greenwoods strenght is much better
daw will have to get a crack because to rely on petrie as second ruck will crucify the triple threat their trying to set up
that worked well lasy year but they did get a squillion games under the roof in the second half
DAWS LEAP IS UNBELIEVABLE
his sckills have improved alot and if they bring him in slowly he will be a great player

some good points but dont agree with campbell
when the two played one deep and one up the ground they worked so well balance wise
garlett was on the small side but evry time he got a gig he was always the first out
if we are going to maintain this high pace game style they need them guys on the smaller quicker side because at the moment our rotations through the middle are all the same size and same speed which makes so easy to shut down
glad we did get rid of some dead wood but goes to show what a dumb move getting equhart back when we could have tried a new young kid or mature age rookie that would have helped

Motlop has 12 possessions and 2 goals in the '99 Grand Final, not enough for you?

Mooney was blessed, almost Aaron Keating like at the time.

Don't know how blessed he was. Moons was pretty embarrassed about his 1999 Grand Final 'participation'.
