I really like L. Young as a player, he's not on his brother's level but he's good and probably better value though JS not as good.
I always like when teams isolate a need and then go out and get someone to fill it, was squeezed out at the Dogs but they're loaded on the HBF. I don't see any reason young can't push 75 range in the right role. The real question is whether they use him more defensively or more offensively. Think there will be plenty of supply and he's a good ball user so offensively he should have a chance. Will be behind Ziebell and McDonald I'd imagine (though he's a considerably better ball user than either) but after that North don't have much in the way of rebounding players.
Just read this about Gulden :-
The diminutive midfielder is a ball magnet who rarely fumbles, kicks goals and puts his teammates in better positions.
Gulden put together a standout junior career, impressing at every level he played at, posting KFC SuperCoach scores of 245, 177 and 149 at the under-16 national championships and 168, 131 and 105 in his three bottom-age NAB League games in 2019.
Then he averaged 88 points in three NEAFL matches as a 17-year-old.

The diminutive midfielder sentence was absolutely on-point in the wet on the weekend. Reckon he probably had a 60/110 type game on the weekend depending on how many of the tackles counted it could go higher/lower but he was enormous in a close game.

It’s a curse I did not know about until Daniher moved and has looked this way in preseason. The truth of it has only become apparent to me now but here’s what I propose:
The dark lord Leigh Matthews ensured nearly 20 years of pain at the conclusion of which he would inflict a chronic injury on our best player , which would make him grow disgruntled and unhappy, knowing he would then be driven to his team the Brisbane Lions, just as they re-emerged as a contender. Upon leaving Essendon, Leigh Matthews with his powers of wizardry would remedy the injury so Joe could be free and play at his best again for his beloved Lions.
But the reason for our decline and struggle has now been made clear to me - witchcraft.
It’s comforting to know that we haven’t been losing and mucking up, but the defeats, the ASADA scandal, the finals win drought, the poor use of draft picks and free agency, and moving our training facility to the airport, isn’t our fault but a matter of black magic at the hands of Leigh

Yep, Lambert on the commentary of last weeks Dees Tiges game definitely said that he had a fractured cheekbone. Whether that was the entire truth who knows.
But either way, fantastic news! Hope he does well and gets up for Round 1. Have been a Keeper League owner of his for a couple of years now as well so desperate to get a look at him.

The North recruiter they had in the box during the game (not sure who it was) stated this quite clearly. Basically Phillips hasn't played in 18 months while Powell had and even Lazzaro got to play in the Geelong preseason league or something along those lines so had played more.
Powell also had elite running patterns which was the bigger factor for them though and they had very high wraps on him.
