🔍 2020-2026 List Additions.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

As Jaymie Graham embarks on his first pre szn as @NMFCOfficial coach, he can have a few early Ws by:
- Whitlock back to defence
- CD & Colby moved up the ground
- Thredgold bulk reps on Trem & Larks
- Sheezel more time forward
- Pray for Warlord’s body

Good luck, JG 🤝 🦘

This is the right kind of player to be taking a punt on. Costs you nothing, and there’s clearly talent there with his draft position and athletic profile. Also, recent history says the Dons have got a few of these wrong of late. I like it 🦘

[Xander McGuire @XanderMcGuire7]

North Melbourne has emerged as Elijah Tsatas’ most likely home for 2027.

Tsatas played 22 games at the Bombers after being taken at Pick 5 in the 2022 draft. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@drivethrujoob @zanerednwhite And if Blakey wasn’t an option, in no world was pick 5 being used to snag Murray. We would have taken that to the draft. The final offer we sent Adelaide was hardly impacted by the Blakey deal.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@BobBarthmonina Could well be the play. Guess it depends how our own draft board is set up etc. Definitely some crazy dilution going on.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

A look at our current & future draft hands 👀

I wonder if any clubs in and around this range would have any interest in us trading 33 & our F1 to get up the board.

A few but not all names I have an eye on: Dimer, Soutar, Pickett, Ladbrook, El-Souki, Neocleous, Szerszyn, Gale

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@BobBarthmonina Aware of it during the trade period. But live trading on the night where teams prospects come off the board completely change what teams are willing to do.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@nohlwilliamsfan Doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t. Live trading on the night where teams prospects come off the board makes it a very real possibility.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@kangalegend I’m intrigued to see where a bid comes for him/if it’s early, will they have the points.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@marniecohen All things considered, Brady has done a fantastic job this trade period. Not much more he could have done re Murray.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

Very quick changing of tune from Titch.

One day is a long time in footy 🤷‍♂️

[7AFL @7AFL]

Tom Mitchell grades EVERY CLUB'S Trade Period 👇

Adelaide: F

"What they're doing is waiting until next year to go all in on Nas. If they get Nas next year it's an A-plus."

Brisbane: B

"History tells us they draft well and they have got some good picks in."

Carlton: A

"I love what Carlton are doing. I believe Lachie Whitfield still has up to four years left of quality footy in him."

Collingwood: B

"I think they've done pretty well bringing in Neale and Hogan."

Essendon: C+

"I like that they've got three picks in the Top 25."

Fremantle: C

"They didn't do a lot but I don't think you need to when you're minutes away from a premiership. You've got everything you need."

Gold Coast: C+

"They lose Ben King... That's a lot of goals to replace."

GWS: D

"They can't win a Grand Final without those five players (Greene, Hogan, Briggs, Whitfield, Stringer)."

Geelong: A

"Greene. Marshall. Ridley. That's three positions they're covering with some real talent to have a real crack at it next year."

Hawthorn: A+

"If you're one kick away from a Grand Final and you add Merrett and King, it's an A-plus."

Melbourne: B+

"With Tasmania coming in they're forming a nucleus, and they've still got some really quality senior players."

North Melbourne: B

"I feel like they gave up more than they probably had to for Nick Blakey and they didn't get Nick Murray."

Port Adelaide: B+

"They made the best of what they could have from the Zak Butters situation."

Richmond: B

"Nothing majorly happening with the Tigers."

St Kilda: C

"I think they did really well from the Rowan Marshall trade."

Sydney: C-

"They're in it to win it now and they lost two quality players."

West Coast: B+

"Important they kept their first two picks while adding experience in Viney and Rivers. I think they've done pretty well."

Western Bulldogs: A+

"If you get Zak Butters, it's an A+. You win the Trade Period just from getting him."

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@M_P_C87 @kangalegend Agree. Should be a big winner of JG coming in.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@M_P_C87 @kangalegend Think it’s too early to call him a depth player with what we’ve seen so far & given his late start to PS last year.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@Bombers_Boss Wouldn’t have thought Sydney find 16 & 20 more appealing than pick 5 alone?

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@Cengiz_AU Yep, will play most weeks I would imagine still.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

Round 1 ‘26 Defensive lineup:
C.Comben, L.Parker, L.McDonald
C.Daniel, G. Logue, T.Blamires, Toby Pink.

Round 1 ‘27 Hopeful Defensive lineup:
C.Comben, N.Murray*, J.Archer, L.Parker, B.Thredgold, N.Blakey, R.Hardeman.

A lot needs to go right but this is an insane upgrade 🦎 🤯

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@kangamerchant Graham has some nice pieces to work with for sure.

Agreed, such a shame re Goat.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@ardenstreetnuff Great call mate. Agree

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@happyharrygrant @NMFCOfficial We’ve done worse. But not as crazy in today’s terms.

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

Genuinely believe deep down Jarryd Roughead is over the moon to have @NMFCOfficial’s future first on the table regardless of the Tassie concessions.

Please walk away Brady. No player in a “back up” role is worth keeping on your list as depth at the expense of a first round pick

[The North Doctrine 📜 🦘 @TheNorthDoc]

@godra61 @NMFCOfficial Yep, can see that. Both sides opening offer will invoke that - we were equally up in arms when Thredgold’s name got mentioned.
