Not really relevant to the thread title, but what a difference a successful season makes (other than Melksham’s lack of pressure) 

Credit to Nibbler for finding that missing 5% and then some. His defensive effort was great for years but he really did panic with the ball and at the contest. He and the coaches clearly did some fantastic work to cut out the fumbling and panic kicking that had plagued his game. One of the more stunning turnarounds. I expect he’ll poll very well in the B+F

I hope the fact that he failed to make the cut at Melbourne hasn’t soured relations between Jeff and the club. He always seemed pretty happy as a Demon.

From Woewodin article link posted in another thread

Woewodin was one of several familiar names at the combine including Sharks teammates Josh Cripps (brother of Carlton co-captain Patrick), Corey Warner (brother of Sydney Swan Chad), South Fremantle’s Jesse Motlop (son of ex-Port Adelaide/North forward Daniel), Subiaco’s Richard Farmer (nephew of Melbourne champion Jeff) and Swan Districts’ Rhett Bazzo (son of late WAFL great Steve).

You heard anything about Richard Farmer WJ ? That Round 21 performance looks impressive on paper

Well said. Our most improved player by a mile for me after Kozzie.

I reckon he found more than five % and has gone to a new level. Certainly fixed his goal kicking and seems to have become a lot more smoother. As you mentioned less fumbling.

His running and tackling efforts are very, very good.

I don't think there is a date yet. One idea was to hold it at the G in front of fans but have heard nothing since.

Don’t forget Salem. His already A+ performance goes to another level each year and he was outstanding in the GF.

ANB also worked hard on his left foot, becoming very reliable on that side as well, gave him an extra string to his bow.

Dunno about that. There's a high % of AFL footy fans that are women, many more than other male dominated sports, more so than cricket or soccer. I know of many footy mad mum's that have determined their kid's preferences. 

Likewise most draftees want to be in the same state, the same city as their family. That would be the true 'overwhelming' factor.

Whilst Jeff might have a soft spot for the Dees and say he'd like his kid there, the reality of family unity might not lure the kid far from home.

But here's hoping he's a gun and chooses the Dees, hey...

I wouldn’t under estimate the power of our recent flag in this. It makes us just so much more attractive as a destination. If you doubt that, just listen to the heart felt interviews with Jack Viney post the grannie where he related how hard it was for him when he first arrived at the Dees when we were the pits. It is so much easier when you are successful, that is assuming you are an elite talent which will enable you to make the team. Few are in that class…
