North Melbourne Priority Pick 2021

[Supreme_Chancellor]

What a softc***!

 

[Blackas87]

Give them 5 firsts.

5?

They’ll get a trade return for him.

 

[MSB ROYS]

And to top it off the pp package was mainly driven by the current Essendon coach who was in talks with Essendon 3 weeks ago

I feel sick for your supporters.

 

[ep2018]

If I were North I'd be asking the AFL to re-evaluate the package they were offered imo unfortunately.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

I guess we should only draft Victorian Players

Cheers mate, it's been a rough year.

The media: "you don't like to hear that" when he gets booed by North fans next year.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

So, north really butchered pick 1.
Were offered two top 5 picks and knocked it back so they could get a bit of marketing money from a chosen one jumper.
Now they probably don't even get a top 5 pick for horne-francis

 

[Stottzy]

Probably the best result. Get something good while he is still worth a lot. No point keeping him and he just plebs along for a few years and his worth goes down. Incredibly overhyped player.

 

[gouki88]

Feel for North fans, jeez!

Rejecting that JHF trade was such a * up

 

[Dewyyyyy]

5?

Yeah so idk, they need it, they're a mess.

Didn't they also get the best player available at pick 1 by rejecting that trade too?

The old North would have traded pick 1 for five 28 year olds and a future second rounder.

We had a crack and it failed spectacularly. It sucks but I'm still glad we tried to get our first superstar in 20 odd years.

Jesus big words from a Footscray supporter

He probably does not even know what Footscray is...

 

[footyfan1978]

I cannot remember North's involvement with Nathan Buckley but seem to recall they had some connection to him and he played one season at Lions and then off to Pies. For some reason, this reminds me a bit of that time, but just different clubs involved.

 

[Shinboner roo]

If this makes me a bigfooty numpty so be it but would hope the club is in the phone to the AFL tomorrow morning about the average pp we recieved. O chance we recieve a future second and future 3rd that has to be traded if Jason tells the club he want to go back to Adelaide weeks ago when the seasion has just finished after going pick 1 only 12 months ago

 

[footyfan1978]

Nah, screw that. Draft whomever you like. North did brilliantly with interstate players like Cable from WA, Blight from SA, Melrose, McCann, Glendinning, Carey, Holden, Longmire, Phil Kelly, Krakouer brothers, Laidley, Hodgeman, Pickett, etc etc.
No point throwing baby out with the bath water over one player.

The microphones must be all working well though.

 

[Lingsface]

I’d be asking for butters and a first round pick.

 

[Ginnieboy]

I wouldn’t be against them getting a before first round pick this year.

I can’t remember what happened but I recall Collingwood were always his first choice, think maybe North made a late bid that he seriously considered.

Butters is more proven than JHF, so a bit over the top there

 

[100action]

Port should stick to their guns and give no more than a late first for JFH.

Petulant little brat and they hold all the chips.

You would be getting laughed out the door.
