Happy to hear what is factually wrong with the article.

You and others may think Fisher is worth more than 30. Others apparently, do not.

It is interesting here that most despise Dodoro, for the way he goes about it, and yet you want Carlton to do the same. Strange.

The Blues receive North Melbourne’s first-round selection (pick No.21) and second-round selection (No.25) in exchange for No.17 and Zac Fisher.

If 21 is first round how come it is the first pick on the second night of trading?

And what if north (or someone else) gets another first round pick compensation, doesn’t that move us to second pick on the second night?

From what I've seen North supporters are a bit "meh" about the deal too, which indicates it's probably a fair trade.

The Roos received 3 end of first round assistance selections. They are classified as first round picks.

21 & 25 is now 22 & 26 following the Gresham move….

26 might become 30 by draft night. Isn’t 30 what the clubs agreed was Fisher’s value? Why did we trade 17 for 22 again?

Agree

Can someone answer why StKilda's and Adelaide's compensation picks come before North Melbourne's?
Just to clarify, yes - the pick we hold now.

Because we now hold it.

I wonder if the player we are looking at now will still be available at pick #22 or later if we keep getting pushed back?

Getting pushed back would have been factored in

You'd hope so.

Typical, right in time before we get to take advantage of a possible win for us in the draft.
Hopefully it's to our advantage................. ............here's to optimism!

We wont keep getting pushed back. Free agency finishes today. The whole world knew Gresham was going FA to the Bummers so Austin and co would have taken it into consideration.
Talking to someone in the game, they believe the first 6-8 selections are top shelf and you can throw a blanket over the next 20-25. So a lot more clubs will select on need this year. It probably explains why everyone is trying to trade into the top 10.
Not saying it's true but I've heard it from a couple of people. FWIW, I think it's an excellent deal. Obviously our recruiters believe at least one of our select targets will still be there at 22. 26 gives us another selection or a chance to package up with next years first or to get Hollands. Sad to see Fish go but it's a good outcome for us. Plus it gets his money off our TPP.

That's good to know, thanks BV.
Yeah I agree, we did alright with the Fisher deal.
If we could trade up that would be great, if not Hollands and a mid with speed and skill would be an upgrade on both Dow and Fish.

Given clubs can and have traded next years picks, any organisation with slightest semblance of credibility would put any of these changes to affect from after 2024. Of course this is the AFL so anything's possible.

Just to clarify, academy selections will take kids from the pool but it won't push back picks. But that would happen whether we had 17 or 22.
Unless a FA comes out of the blue this afternoon, our selections should stay.

I'm sure Austin and co. have looked at all possibilities and how best to get the best player at the pick(s) we have. There are no guarantees but I am sure they are looking to position us to have the best chance. And given the commentary here regarding the need to be better at picking quality role players that develop into best 22 for cheap money, isn't this the exact modus operandi to achieve it?
