A must read. Shocking failures indicating an utterly broken system. Tammy Shipley had a right to be safe. https://t.co/RWFRKur44b

@cdesilva23 Like someone made the best hybrid of Paul Kelly and Wayne Schimmelbusch. A competitor who knows no other way.

@Corballyred Gakpo to start the next 10 games, but Rio's criminally underused? One of the two games against Wolves would be the perfect opportunity to actually start Ngumoha for a change.

@TWTME26 Three of their top five 2024 B&F are out with injuries, as well as JUH and Weightman. Darcy is a gifted freak that we will struggle to match up against, but now's the best opportunity North have had to break the drought in several years. Go Roos.

@JasonBennettTV @NMFCOfficial @RileyBev Outstanding commentary this preseason mate. Hope to hear you call lots of games throughout the year. You're a top notch caller.

@d0penamebro @PiesWrldd 💯 would just add…
4. The Brownlow has a terrible track record for judging the best footballer any year. give umps stats before voting.
5. When players want to take up a contract with a different club they should be able to talk about it publicly with no shame before they leave

@Benjamincraig01 @CalTwomey Its like rickrolling but its picktrolling

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@SpallieraL @CalTwomey Devils advocate. How often do kids elite enough to get picked up in the first round depend on NGAs to reach that level, as opposed to traditional pathways? I kinda get the argument for Qld & NSW as a means of poaching kids playing in rugby/soccer heartland, but elsewhere?

North Melbourne has handed its final list spot to tall forward Tyler Sellers.
The 20-year-old kicked three goals in a recent Roos intraclub after 30 goals in the Roos VFL side last year.
Also played a handful of Ammos games for Old Scotch last year @7NewsMelbourne

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@Sasbites Just a normal and healthy amount of pressure and expectation for an 18 year old country boy to manage.

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@thoughtfullwon Solid effort.

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@tommorris32 @thestrickaus @GWSGIANTS @1116sen @traderadio Maybe a relatively modest pick swap? Like a future GWS second rounder for a fourth, or something? Or perhaps they'd pay a 1/4 of the salary?

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@CapitalCityCody Ah sorry, I thought you meant Caleb Graham! Going by Twomey's rankings... 5254 x 20% discount = 4203. Trade out any of Hollands, Chol, Graham, the other Graham, or Moyle, and I think they should be in surplus again?

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@CapitalCityCody Yep, I'm surprised that Graham's name hasn't appeared much in the talk about the key defender merry-go-round. You'd have to imagine a few clubs are asking the question re: him & Moyle.
I think with the academy discount, GC only need a little over 4k for Walter, Read and Rogers.

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@CapitalCityCody The other question is how much more draft capital will GC expect to receive if Chol and Hollands depart.

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@CapitalCityCody I guess a big part of the question is: how much more does GC want from this draft, outside their three academy kids? Because so long as they can trade their first pick for a lower first rounder, they should have nearly enough points for all three draftees.

[Benjamin Sveen @bsveen]

@CalTwomey Thanks Cal. Can next year's "reviewable" picks be traded this offseason?
