I like this article which says (and gives reasons why) the Cows should bid on Campbell rather than JUH.

I'm not at all sold on it but do think he could develop in the role as the main stopper. I mean if Liam Jones can do it despite being useless at ground level then why not Esava?
A lot of Cats supporters don't rate Esava either. They don't believe he has that toughness in him nor the smarts. I would like it if he was more physical than Cordy. I think your under playing the physicality in Cordy. Jury out for me.

Dear north, we'll let Lachie Young walk to you for nothing. Just a little favour...

Is there any precedent as yet whereby the AFL has inhibited this scenario from occurring? If not, I suspect their eyes will be all over us. It has connotations of the Veale deal.

The better scenario is a Shane Biggs like trade that acknowledges that the player has more opportunities at another club and a late swap of picks to achieve that
For all we know, North and many other clubs might rate Logan McDonald or host of other players ahead of Ugle-Hagan
Club statement writes itself. "We were planning on using Lachie Young as a 3rd tall forward in the 2021 season but after the trade for Mitch Hannan we realised that opportunities for Young were significantly reduced. We canvassed other teams but realised that North presented the best opportunity for Young so we did what we could to facilitate the trade. We thank Young for his service and we wish him well and hope he has a long career with North"

Sinister.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Lachie Schultz is still out of contract at Freo. Small forward (178cm), Bendigo Pioneers/Williamstown boy, good tackler, pacy enough and a natural crumber with 24 games already in him so past that initial stage of development. He played every game for Freo this year so you have to assume if he hasn't signed yet he must be considering offers elsewhere, I really hope we are one of the clubs talking to him. I've really liked him in the games I have seen him play this year.
Brett Bewley is another Freo guy still out of contract after playing almost all season. Nice left foot kick, hard running link up winger. Not super quick but I think he could be a decent option to fill that wing role we have struggled with, and would cost very little. At worst he would be a better depth option than the likes of Hayes imo.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Barrett is correct here - Happydays would be a fan. He is also a North fan so may know something.
IF ...
you don't secure a back-up ruck option for English in the Trade Period ...
THEN ...
season 2021 will end the same way as the past two – good enough to make finals but not win one. Still reckon English is going to be elite, but that that moment won’t arrive for up to another three years. Would be silly to not ask the question of Goldstein.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
What ruck options are there? Goldy looks set to stay, Stef Martin is gettable but looked cooked unless we want to manage him and roll him out only every second week.
Hayes at Port is even more raw than English, Hickey and Preuss already have new teams just pending trade week (Sydney & GWS).
The only one I can see is Ryan Abbott as a DFA but he's 29 and I thought Bevo ruled that out.

Pretty much just leaves Cox.
I still reckon we will play a similar style next year and hope that English improves again, with him as our main man, and use Bruce, Bont and Jong (if he’s there).

Still need a backup ruck if Trengove goes?
Can't just have Sweet, a rookie who hasn't even played one game.

In all honesty Bornadog, it would not surprise me. Trengove may has well not have been on the list this year as he wasn’t utilised at all in the ruck position. I can’t see Bevo just getting someone for the sake of it. English/Bruce/Sweet I think will be the way in 2021
