You can't father a child putting it in that entrance, need to go a lot further south.
Good luck to River, an 18 year old young man trying to get an AFL gig, and having to already contend with snide remarks.
Somehow one of the most poisonous people in the history of the AFL is linked with an unrelated young man. It's ugly. And it's wrong, Darth. Thanks for posting.
Lolnorf are fixated on one player, a bolter in Tauru.
The question I don’t know the answer to is: for a developing side is
Tauru better than say a Armstrong/Whitlock and a Shanahan/Faull combo.
I reckon being fixated on wanting Tauru they are missing the bigger picture and I don’t lolnorf are just 1 player away from being a top 8 side.
Tigers sell this message and hold #6, lolnorf don’t need it.

But if #Lolnorf get to split their pick 2 for possibly a 6 n 20ish. Doesn't that give them a crack at the Viking plus a Whitlock or Shanahan / Faull combo???? Or even another mid at 6 plus a KPF type at 20ish. How is that fixated only on Tauru?
Yes true but it limits their options if they only want to deal with an early pick where they hope Tauru is still on the board.
Eg I gather they wouldn’t trade #2 for GWS 3 first rounders because of this or for our #10 and #11 say.
I get they want Tauru plus but even with #6, what’s stopping Melb picking him at #5.
Reckon # are way more fixated on getting 2 picks in the first round rather than having just the one early pick that they can use on the Viking or anyone else they might think of. They might figure the Viking is an excellent chance of still being there at 6 anyway. Clubs all get a fair idea of what everyone is doing early by this time of year anyway plus the fact that Tauru is rated as a speculative bolter, there probably aren't many clubs that had him in their early options. If a Smelbourne were to jump in early # could easily consider a combo of Armstrong and Trainor with a 6 and 20 combo. # simply don't want to be stuck early in the draft where all the mid fielders are, they want KPP size choices. There's plenty of talented options available first round of this draft, but only if you have the picks available to do something with.
They want talls and we want mids. Even more reason not to trade for pick 2. Make em take the Viking with #2 if that is who they want. Just means more of the mid options at pick 6 are still there.
Who,s to say anyway that Tauru is not a worthy pick two.
# being happy to trade back from pick 2, could possibly get both a key forward Armstrong and a key defender Trainor out of the deal. Perhaps the Viking is worthy of a pick 2???? Perhaps he's not, but surely if they can get two quality KPP rather than just 1 quality KPP it's more than worth chasing.
I get the logic its the same logic you apply to pick 1 except it is probably mids we are discussing.
Maybe we should be looking at a few talls as well with those golden picks 10 and 11.
It seems TM that there is a whole bunch of mids very evenly rated but it also seems that two talls stand out and the rest are rated near the end of the first round.
At the end of the day i get why we would trade for pick two, If we do thats fine but i hope its for a player who is clearly in front of what we will have to give away at what ever picks it is we give up. My preference is we don't and we use all of our 8 picks in this draft which we probably cannot do now because of resignings.
Oh by the way North's need to reach for a tall i just can't buy into anyway. Have a look at their list of Key defenders and key forwards.
If draft spots is a guide then getting Logue #8, Corr #14 and W Dawson #22 on the park and possibly Comben #31 who i think they will now play forward then they have their kpd positions covered.
Larkey 73 one of those late nuggets, Possibly Comben, Darling for the short term. maybe a quality key forward is needed but why can it not wait until next year when there is a stong tall draft coming.
Then there is CCJ a ruck/fwd.
Personally i think Sam Lalor would compliment their group of mids to a tee.
