Classic Clarkson, following the Hawthorn template, prioritisng the spine, he clearly sees Logue as his Josh Gibson, he'll probably add Cadman to the mix & then look at bringing in another A class mid. I'm actually very bullish on North, I can see the makings of a top 8 team provided they cease offering up large sums to outside types like Jared Polec. Grundy actually makes perfect sense although you'd question whether he would be happy with a reigning wooden spooner.

So looking at Clarkson at North and if he does go Cadman combined with Larkey & Comben
Coleman Jones is really a square peg

Coleman-Jones is a tweener, not good enough for the ruck, not good enough for a key position post. Chol was the one they should have targeted, much more adaptable & is the perfect chop out player when the first ruck needs a spell.

Clarkson had many fails in recruiting too.

He did but he also knows how to build a team from scratch, it's no coincidence that the two recent dynasties have resulted from list managers prioritising the hard to find components first & then adding the finishing touches with astute trading & lowish draft picks. I think Clarke hasn't quite demonstrated that ability as yet although Balta & Gibcus is a decent start, the success ultimately hinging on his ability to find a couple of decent forwards over the next 3-4 years.

5 years for Logue.
Geez, if a player like Logue can get 5 years, Taranto and Hopper are absolute bargains at 7.

Speaking of 5 year contracts at Norf I just realised Jared Polec is still contracted for 2023!

Norf have been rewarded for been *smile* by getting 2 future draft picks that they must trade this year, so basically it allows them to get Logue and Clark for free………ffs

Pretty sure Cholly was always going to the Coast to be with his family.

What a load of garbage. They got themselves in this position so they can get themselves out of it. Geez this competition is so contrived.
