In his draft year Essendon had pick 34 which I was hoping that he would slip to that pick so we could get him.

He was available when it got to our pick so what do the Bombers select:

Pick 34: Jason Ashby. Then...
Pick 51: Dylan van Unen
Pick 53 Martin Gleeson
Pick 73 Nick Kommer

Before Atkins went at pick 81. Man I was so furious!!!

Only Gleeson is still playing AFL from the above. Of course drafting is easier in hindsight and other Clubs overlooked him too. Now Atkins is no world beater but has now played 100 games.

So you're telling me Simpkin, LDU, Thomas are not untouchable o_O Hahahah
True, only their top draft picks as well. Here's a snippet.

Speaking to the Herald Sun, Head of Football Brady Rawlings listed Ben Cunnington, Todd Goldstein, Shaun Higgins and Jack Ziebell as the four players who would not be put up for trade.

On top of that, the Roos won’t be entertaining trades for their top draft picks either. They currently hold pick two as well as Melbourne’s first round selection.

North Melbourne has 23 players out of contract and Rawlings stated there are “big decisions to be made”.

Brown headlines that group of 23 that includes Jasper Pittard, Majak Daw, Mason Wood, Ben Jacobs, Jamie Macmillan, Paul Ahern, Ed Vickers-Willis, Taylor Garner, Sam Durdin and Marley Williams


Polec also seems to be on the outer and can’t find his way back into a depleted North Melbourne team.
