99.99% likely to be utterly false but best thread for a while👍.

Khamis played well enough when given opportunity prior to this year, but the issue was his tank. Tall backs need to play high tog% and he just couldn't. I think he's been properly managed, but essentially the credit goes to him for getting to this point because he's put in the hard work.

If Jack Macrae wins 9 possessions on the weekend he will move into the top 50 all time, pretty staggering for a player still in his twenties (only just, admittedly). If you rank those players by possessions per game, he would rank #1. Of all teams since stats were recorded. I know stats aren't...

Caleb getting sent to the VFL for the first time in years would've been a bitter enough pill to swallow, but copping a game at Willy really is a double whammy.

Mecca or Macca's?

Seriously good night. A few blokes under the pump really delivered; Jack Macrae with a clear game high 12 score involvements. Rory Lobb with a clear game high 9 inside 50s. Bailey Dale with an insane 874 metres gained.

He's struggled with his body over the past couple of seasons and just hasn't strung consistent performances together at VFL level. Has had 2 very strong games this year, another good performance or 2 should see an opportunity come his way.

Another curious factor about nominees to date is that no-one from last year's draft has been nominated yet. If we had 3 nominations in a row, including the first nominee from last year's draft, that would be a real feather in our cap.

Every year a handful of players and personnel come and go and best 23s and tactics are refined weekly so refresh, evolution and rebuild are just semantics. Change is constant.

Darcy drops the knees and draws a high one. Classic.

Frustrating to date, but jeez LJizz and Buks are holding up well. Building nicely.

He is a shocker. Others were wrapping Rozee's game tonight. Lyon's contribution; Petracca might have competition as the best player in the game😳

There are plenty of bad ones, but the clear worst for me is Dwayne Russell. The insane hyperbole starts immediately and never lets up. I rarely last more than 5 minutes with the volume on when he's calling.

That's the point.

If English and Darcy are firing at the end of 2025 and we can get something for Lobb at that point, it'd be a win. He'll have served us well.
