Port are winners in the draft,obviously traded picks for Soldo,Sweet,Esava and BZT but started the night with 1 pick,turned that into 4 players

Firstly. There's never truly a loser in a draft. There's clubs that do it really well and clubs that make the most out if what they have. Port turning 1 pick into 4 for example. The only deflation to that is that they are in fact bottom of the barrel selections for depth and lobg term developments in potentially finding a diamond in tbe rough. Second. GWS did really well in the draft with picking Gothard ahead of St.kilda and the ROO'S. The method of the madness there was to select a definitive player whom they could really utilise on a needs basis and by doing that trade with the crows they effectively garrenteed that. Proofs in the pudding by the fact that they STILL got to take Leake after Gothard and that made both furst selections a real bang for their buck. Third. Crows really rolling the duce on the Curtin selection but like the giants it's a method of madness in that they clearly had a series of targets after Norths 3rd pick so they certainly were prepared to run the gauntlet on that one. I'd certainly say their preference was Goad but knew the risk when trading up for the priority of Curtin. Fourth. Its basically the sane round about way with Sydney in taking Green. Sure they didn't have to but they did and that's a weighted choice cone draft night. Like North they have a Ruckman leading that position, but will want someone to develop and take that role in 3-4 years time. Certainly not a bad choice. And finally. North certainly made the best out of a tainted situation. No one likes assistance packages and they're certainly not handed out without due reason. But in acknowledgement of North's assistance in comparison to the majority of other clubs who recieved assistance far more better and near top end. North made the best of it and did really well. Pick 2: finished 17th Pick 3: McKay compo Pick 15: ports pick tied to trade for jhf Pick 17: trade with Carlton Pick 18: trade with Gold Coast Everything North got was done through management of trades and use of their own future and current picks to make the best of what they had. PLUS all clubs associated with the assistance picks are now privy to that "taint" people subscribe to. -For North to address polished midfield class in the unique calibre of Mckercher is a ☑️ -Additional depth in a match winning and potent goal kicking HF in Durrsma is a ☑️ - future planning in snatching just ahead of the crows Taylor Goad whom possesses inhuman speed for a potential Gawn clone is a ☑️ - shoring up depth with further future planning in Dawson as a big man Defender to emerge from the shadow of Logue as his successor and be that big man key Defender is a ☑️ -and of course is the rebounding Defender in Hardeman. A kid bursting with leadership, pace and accuracy in hiw he both reads the play, intercepts and delivers the ball across the field. Will no doubt be Lmacs successor. All in all. A good video. Apologies for the essay as I do get carried away and yes I do barrack for North. That said I hope these can be some positive criticisms and hopefully shed some light for any 🤡's who come along to knock at Norths draft haul. Keep up the great work and go North!!!
