Jimmy Riddle is one to keep an eye on as far as our drafting goes. Blitzed one of the tests at the draft combine today but was an also ran at others. I bet the recruiting department have an eye on him.

Comes from Delungra in NSW...17 yrs old, 194 cms and 87 kgs. Has size, some skill and played rugby league as a junior.

Plus he likes a big grab and crashing packs. The only footage I've seen was like Jack Hawkings.

For what it's worth his beep test was amongst the best.

    Is this for real? When I was a kid (a very long time ago), needing a 'Jimmy Riddle' was rhyming slang for when you needed to go behind the nearest gum tree in the middle of a cow paddock.

    I was visiting my sister in Nimboida, back of Grafton, earlier this year and the Southern Cross network featured this kid as part of their sports news section.

    Who is he? The estranged brother to Tom Riddle, perhaps?

    Wasn't he a quidditch convert originally? At any rate, he could bring some real magic to the forward-line.

    Best mates with another highly thought of draft prospect Dale Roberts who hales from nearby West Wyalong and starred with the Murray Bushrangers this year. The pair had some problems getting leave to attend the draft combine from the juvenile detention facility where they currently reside after borrowing a neighbour's ute and driving it to Shepparton where they smashed said vehicle which is now a write off. Nobody's quite sure how they made it that far given the volume of moonshine they consumed during the trip and their blood alcohol level readings.

    Shame really but I believe Sheedy's still interested (he once wrote a book about second chance heroes and is currently thinking about drafting Andy Lovett as a mature age rookie).

    I heard he was of Cockney Decent . Is there any truth in that rumour ?

    I also heard he has a profitable portable toilet rental business anyone know if that is correct?

    Thomas Gribble - Geelong Falcons - is the whisper

    Nephew of Dale Gribble? Cousin of Joseph Gribble?

    Perhaps the MFC could take a Riddle, but only in a double pronged attack with Freddie Clutterbuck?

    You guys are still holding out hope for the Freddo Show?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
