North Melbourne emerge as leading candidate to snare Saint Nick Dal Santo

[Bill Manspeaker]

North can absolutely push for the top 4. if those close games went your way, you would've been close this year

[Nige]

A favourable draw next year will certainly help.

[Vinny]

Yes for sure, this years was a shocker!

[Holz]

i still say boomers 6 week suspension killed our season. With him in the squad we would have won a few of those early games confidence would have been up and i think we would have made top 5 easy.

geting some runs on the board early is very important next year. Wouldnt mind a soft draw to get some confidence up.

[Nige]

He was a massive contributor after his suspension and stepped up after Spitta went down.

[Mailman the 2nd]

With Nick Dal Santo in, I'd say top 6 finish is probably certain.

Whether they can push for top 4 depends a lot on the draw though!

Will be weird seeing Nicky Dal in a North jumper after being in a Saints one so long. :P

yeah big time. still rather this than seeing Goddard in an Essendon jumper though

Will be weird seeing Nicky Dal in a North jumper after being in a Saints one so long. :P

will be weird seeing a stkilda player with a premiership medal around thier neck :P

[JBs-Hawks]

Will finish between 3-6 next season

[roo boys!]

Will finish between 3-6 next season

Hopefully :)

Not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said, finishing outside of the 8 should really help with next years draw

[Nige]

This probably isn't the place for it but...

Josh Kelly - tipped to go top 3 in the draft could have been a father/son to @NorthKangaroos had his father Phil played 33 more games #ouch

Wow that sucks pretty bad for North fans... :-\

I hear they're trying to snag McDonald as a second rounder, only need the teams with a top 7 pick to overlook him but apparently 1-2 are interested.

Imagine if they snagged McDonald and Lennon in the same year!  :o

Its not too bad we would have had to pass up on Luke Mcdonald.

imgaine if we somehow got Kelly and Mcdonald in the same year.

insane midfield.
