Imagine supporting a club that survives on handouts accusing a club that pays for those same handouts of being the one actually living off them.
Hilarious.
Hilarious.

You are going into these longwinded posts about the story of your priority pick from 20+ years ago.
Clearly you are very easy to wind up.
What a woeful performance by North today
Truly embarrassing
Truly embarrassing
I thought our game was bad but North went full "Hold my beer."
After such an abysmal first half, we at least won the second half and didn't capitulate.
First time we've won a half down there since that comeback win in '06.
The game plan is a mess

Anyone talking about our “priority picks” do realise that they’re not an instant success? You still need to develop them
Let’s go through the main ones
2022- 2nd and third round picks that had to be traded, we couldn’t even use them to begin with on a young player so it doesn’t matter and they would have been taken away if we didn’t.
Logue started well and has had injuries since, let’s see how he goes next year.
Tucker has been serviceable; but was worth a third round pick, hardly a priority pick like everyone makes out.
So they were technically Fremantles freebies for two players that they didn’t even want.
Last year, those two picks given to us for this years draft had to be used or they would have reviewed them this year and possibly taken them away.
Stephens and fisher haven’t set the world on fire I’ll admit, now the actual “priority picks” in Will Dawson, a 200cm defender who needs to develop and hardeman, a young half back who broke through for a few games this year, will need time to develop too, how have the rest of the players picked between 15-25 gone this year?
And if anyone’s stupid enough to think wardlaw or goad were freebies then you really don’t know your facts, both came as picks which we got for trading Horne Francis to port.

If you weren’t too busy sooking about Judd you probably would be able to see my opinion previously posted.
I mean, do I really care?

You seem to care a lot with how much you post here.
You're the one quoting me bud.
Getting Mick Malthouse feels at Carlton with Clarko at North! Horrible ! Waste of money

Big year for North next season, another 2 or 3 win season and head office might come calling.

Not really comparable. Carlton finished 5th 2 years before Malthouse.
This was always going to be a slow burn.

Are they going to introduce promotion/relegation?
North should go really, really hard at a second top tier tall forward and a top tier small forward and their future squad is pretty rounded. (Established players even if they have to pay overs)
WCEs list on the other hand is relatively only going to get worse due to our best older players playing worse before being able to be replaced and the youth being developed.

I suspect you might be trolling but I don't think you're entirely wrong. My biggest concern for North is where their wins are going to come from. They've shown minimal improvement and the last two games with 100 point losses back to back are not acceptable.
None of the sides in the top 10 look like they're going to fall apart. Melbourne, GC, Adelaide aren't going to go backwards. Saints I'm not really sure where they sit.
That leaves what I think
Richmond clearly going to be the worst team, followed by North and West Coast. I can't see any of these three teams surpassing any other team.
Surely an internal review will be asking the question: "Why haven't we improved"
I suspect another sub 5 win season next season and Clarko is in trouble.
They really need some experienced players but who wants to go to North?
Exactly what players should they get though? Who is the top tier tall forward that will choose North over all the other clubs that need one much higher up the ladder, without North ridiculously overpaying?
sum up norths year they drafted the best player in the mid season draft who than doesn't get a kick in the vfl, carlton pick up a player from there VFL program who comes in under done does a mini pre season plays good footy in the vfl and than plays a handy game first up last week (lord)

Those picks would have been taken off us if we had a solid season this year, which with how the afl is probably would have been if we finished 14th for example. we’re not the Gold Coast that can keep theirs after finishing 10th. Learn your facts
