2027 List Management

[Dow]

Alrighty my final thoughts

Out backline will need a serious rebuild

No Blakey, Mills, Cunningham, Rampe most likely

I think that we should be going for Nick Murray despite contracted till end of 2028

ie we we land pick 6 minimum for Blakey and split that into two first round picks - we could then offer $750k pa for Nick Murray to join us for 4 years and in return give a first around for 2026 and a first round for 2028 to Adelaide

any less won’t get the deal done

leaving us with say pick 18ish, 38,39,52,54

Nick Murray is a serious key defender and was in very good form in 2026. Murray would be a great asset and keep our backline looking the real deal for finals.

McCartin, Murray, Wicks
Kyle, Edwards, McInerney

Nice in theory but this deal will run till Wednesday before any resolution is reached. Plus if i am Adelaide there is very little incentive to trade Murray after losing Butts they need the depth he provides. My preference is to keep Blakey we are going to get screwed in the deal and does anyone really trust our list managers to make good use of a top 10 pick if indeed Norths don't split it first, because i know i don't .
