They should manage all witness protection programs because no other organisation is so skilfully adept at eliminating every single shred of publicity and exposure.

Re: Priority Picks

The good news for us is that it looks like Essendon are refusing to offer anything more than $600,000 to Ben McKay meaning there’s no way the AFEL can offer up anything more than an end of First Rounder. Which is still a little generous. But anyhoo.

For us it means our firsts are just a little better for trading, and the GCS Pick would remain at Pick 4. Right in the sweet spot for the pointy end talent even allowing for one bid before - if we can trade it off them.

I will wager that the AFL will still turn the McKay compo into a priority pick next to their 1st. Its just so AFL to meddle.

If they’re transparent we all have to cop it. If they try to slide it through, then there should be hell to pay.

North should target the Sydney’s first is its lie enough with Port’s First & 19. If they can get two top 10’s and Sanders as a top 10 charity too they should be content. The WCE bulk up picks too.

But let’s see if it’s only $600,000…

a couple of big IFS but it would be awesome if we could pull it off

If we get pick 4 and If Twomey's latest Draft guide is anything to go by we could land the Wizz. I would be very happy.

The story I'm hearing is that every club with the exception of West Coast and NM are trying to get pick 4. Last year interest was not that high as taking on both Bowes and his contract was not seen as super positive by the majority of clubs...

I'm still not sure how we offer enough to get it done.

Tom Morris
North Melbourne has applied for a priority pick at the top of the draft, but Laura Kane's recommendation to the AFL Commission will instead likely be late first rounders in 2023/24, + a second rounder in 2024.


@NMFCOfficial - would be free to use these three selections however it chooses.


Gil is strongly involved in the Commission's decision, which will come on Monday. Whether they adopt the recommendations remains to be seen.

Late first rounder is not pick 11. It should be end of first round if they can do whatever they like with it. I don't think they should have anything all but that doesn't sound like pick 11 to me.
