Is the reason that we only have Jack Hannath training with us because we don't want to telegraph our other pick to rival clubs? I wonder who they have in mind?

Can we swoop on guys training with other Clubs or is that simply bad etiquette?

Magner was training with StK last year. Etiquette is irrelevant

Sure can. Stuff the etiquette

Does that mean Ricky P is not training with Richmond anymore? I thought he was sure to get picked up elsewhere!

The head matches the top pretty well ;-)

But on a serious note I am sure the vast majority of Demonlanders and Demonologists etc wish Matty well should he get another chance at AFL. Never stopped trying, just didn't quite make it.

Bate is fighting for Prismall for the last senior spot on the doggies list. I think Prismall is the favourite considering he ditched port and flew back to melb.

Both in the NQR category

would be only picked for depth, position or task

IMO they are better off picking up a kid with potential

the amount of mediocre players who excelled at their second or third club over history is extremely low

I hope we do the same

Another PTT list issued today -

Jack H still the only player training with the Dees.

Oops, Carlton is now denying the Reimers connection -

He looks as skinny as I've seen him.

Clearly a last ditch effort to improve his initial burst speed and agility.

Prismall is too big a risk. Body just ain't able to hold it together....

Although some clubs have a better strike rate than others, such as Sydney.

Esecially with The Weapon lurking around the corner.
