I am very bullish on Wilson and others, but absolutely this. Billy is a great kid, but at the moment is a VFL highlights reel. We are stacked for options old and “new”. Positions must be earned. I will, however, say these kids ideally need opportunity early to ascertain where they are at. We...

Think we have to trust the back room boys (and girls) to concoct some Geelongesque side deals to ensure player retention.

I understand your point. Ollie has the habit of focussing on the target as opposed to slamming it on the boot. He does take more, often too much time. I feel there is some contribution from the players upfield he is looking to link with and perhaps a bit of structural consideration as well...

Nah Pitto at 28 and falling behind TDK becomes expendable and likely to net a third rounder on the ruck merry-go-round. De Koning at 25 entering the window of his prime. O’Keeffe just turned 20, so time is on his side and firmly entrenched. Doubt we see to much this year in the ones. Dominate...

Welcome Sophie. Little sister with a dash of speed, class and a bit of RED. Looking forward to what you add (initially up forward)

Gotta love a Unicorn. Key utility with athleticism is just what we need. Welcome Poppy.

Looks another great pick. Welcome Lou-Lou

Absolutely. Born in Burnie, grew up in George Town. Played U16 with North Launceston Robins back in the day before (reluctantly) moving to Qld in late teens (‘80). Took me more decades away before considering myself a Queenslander in any way. Waiting to see if my allegiances become split in a...

Fingers crossed Harry Dean and the NGA boys can continue at next draft before Cody Walker takes it up a level or three. There is another Walker a couple of years later and plenty of possibles, including a Kouta before names like Judd may enter the mix. The future of our father - sons is likely...

Maybe a water wall if you have some in the arsenal

They don’t do big sessions on consecutive days. Will be a big one tomorrow. Bottom line, I am home, can only do so much torrential rain on a family break. Kid got some dry zoo time this morning before the rain came back in as we left and for the majority of the 300km home. Will be some photos to...

I love the pick. Providing netball doesn’t become a priority and she does not have go home issues. We need an athletic key defender. The Irish lass is a possible, but most of our tall defenders are third tall rather than keys.

Youngy

Probably already past it if she wasn’t a father/daughter pick. 5-10 the range.

Yes. Only drama is that she is a state level netballer, which we hope does not create a conflict.

Our first pick coming up. Welcome Poppy Scholz Tall utility (likely back) Sister of Port Adelaide ruck revelation.

Two hour session. Wet weather drills not easy to watch among the gloom. Lights were on throughout. Newy back with the mids today. Young was involved in some ruck drills, but called up from the backs to do so, rather than staying with the mids. Doc with mids. Like earlier reports can confirm HOK...

Fog, Cotts, Durds in fluoro caps, might be a couple more. Rehab group gone to other oval out of range. Gov and Fanta just doing run throughs. TDK out there after I didn’t sight him yesterday.

Currently doing basic drill, short passing and a few ground balls…as the rain gets heavier. 8am start, boys still on daylight savings.

A bit damp here. A few boys just running out, early.

Jagga is class, but I rate Lord, Moir and even the Campos and maybe Binns as chances for a nom. (At least) We have quickly, quietly and affordable added some real talented youngsters to our group. I have plenty of faith in O’Farrell, Wilson, Charleson and the big boys HOK and now Lem, after the...

Early start is a thing with these days. The little bit of training they did was little more than a stretch in their groups. Today suggested as 9am start, I will be there before 8 (southern posters remember Qld is on real time, not daylight savings time) Couldn’t tell you who #38 was. (Just...

I would prefer a mobile tall type to add to mid/forward McKay at the pointy end of the draft. The alternative to that is SPEED. Thinking the Irish girls are great prospects going forward and we may bank in them adding enough to the balance. Thinking Skepper, Fitzpatrick and Sophie McKay are...

Not claiming scoops. Just brief casual chats and a couple of observations. Very much hope it all is borne out. Bits and pieces. I know what it is like hanging out for a little info.

Pretty sure there is a distinction between LTI which allows a Cat B rookie to play and the INACTIVE LIST.

Just a couple of random observations for the content starved masses. I don’t get interaction with the group, so as I said “random” 16-18 of the boys didn’t come over “our side” so a few are missing from “assessment”. The sometimes “fat farm” boys Motlop, Williams and McGovern look in excellent...

Not sure of the numbers, but despite having to tip toe around all of the impromptu walkways and puddles, there were literally hundreds of Baggers in attendance,

For some perspective, I am almost certain early doors as things were playing out for SSP prospects, I saw a report or article that Phillips was to train with West Coast seeking an SSP spot. Therefore unavailable at the time for us. Carroll and Durdin were confirmed early as being given the...
