The List Manager: Jon Ralph examines North Melbourne’s current list, its future and everything in between
North Melbourne fans have to be wondering when the rebuild is finally going to end. Jon Ralph writes, with an improved list, it’s time for Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos to begin their rise...
Is this an indication that Powell expects to be moved out of the backline? Presumably because of the arrivals of Rioli and Noble.
Depth in multiple positions is always a good thing. Don't mind the idea of Powell playing a more attacking role next year.
Pretty sure I can see a lot of the boys...
Oh dear Dan. How did Jack Ross get into the 2017 draft crop? And how is delisted Ainsworth above players who get a regular game? What the hell is Sam Reid doing in there? Who is Brendon Starcevich? So much to upack here Dan....
If you are going based only on body of work so far, how can...

...in each state, but if that's the case then it would be virtually impossible to hide any talented junior throughout Australia. Once again, WilPowell is probably a good example of this given West Coast had their eyes on him as a late draft pick and the Suns recruiting team in Queensland was...
mind you Daniel Curtin was pick 7 and taken from both WA teams
and to add to it players still can be hidden kind of also what scout from a Victorian team is going to Queensland to watch games when they have the Coates league on their doorstep though I think Gillet will be drafted late by the...
You know most teams have State based recruiters as well. Some full time, some part time.
Some teams have multiple State based part time recruiters, with a State divided in to zones and one recruiter responsible for each zone.
I know our head recruiter will get over to WA at least 3 times a...
...chance to be seen by most recruiters is during the national championships and that's assuming they get selected to play for their state. WilPowell is an example of a player that wasn't selected to play for WA and was mostly playing colts footy in the WAFL when the Suns drafted him. Turned...
If Ford and McKercher have big off seasons then I reckon Ford might be lining up on the wing and McKercher in the middle.
Ford has looked great on the wing but has been lacking cardio.
McKercher is a centre mid, not a wing. But he needs to add strength.
Wil Dawson could also work his way into...

Johnson R/V of North's Midfield:
"Absolutely love this midfield"
"Watched North live 14-15 times this year"
"The midfield played some really good football... individually, not always together"
"LDU, #1 midfielder, star, Class, ability, can hurt you inside and out"
"Jy - Another level...
Agree about Wil on the wing and that we don’t need another 18yo midfielder
If pick 6 is the cost then we need to secure some of Rioli pay with it, it’s still way overs but works for both.
If the Tigers insist on 23 we should walk away, they will 100% cave as they are looking to rebuild and...
