Couldn’t go as I’m currently in regional WA but watched it on the AFL app, reckon Curtin’s performance gives West Coast further food for thought. Reid was super clean and showed how good he is but trading for 2 first rounders if they can guarantee getting Curtin is tempting.

For those who watched it, a late call up under ager who only showed a few snippets is Austin Van Der Struyf, he is one to watch for next year. Smooth mover off half back/wing with elite foot skills and fantastic vision. Captain of Christchurch First XVIII, where he plays as an inside midfielder

Just okay, kicked 1 and presented well but runs under the ball a little. He’s one of those players who is so close to just grabbing a game by the scruff of the neck, but it’s just not clicking for him

We should pick him, he’s going to be a superstar

Thoughts on Collard @Pennant St Dee? Thought he and Clay Hall were standouts for WA (apart from Curtin of course, who put together a third high quality outing for WA).

Agree. He might be a rookie chance and develop in partnership with his brother.  Just looked like he needed some marking guidance.

Collard doesn’t handle close attention well, which I think may effect him at AFL level, but he has superb skills, lateral movement and is very quick

can't remember if i saw it on here or twitter but someone said something about WCE offering up next years future 1st for a top 5 pick this year, it'll still be pick one but will help them get reid and curtin. Next year will have will ashcroft -tied, tyler welsh -tied and the other two young metro mids who are currently starring you'd imagine will go highly compared to teh country/WA combo they could be looking at this year, in terms of long term retention it could be the smarter business play to take the risk.

The Allies beat Vic Metro and look the goods to take off the championship for the first time. The AFL must be chuffed at the number of promising prospects coming from the northern states and Tassie at the moment.

Suns' Academy trio shine as Allies hammer Vic Metro

Incredible Allies maul Metro

ALLIES 7.1.43 9.4.58 13.6.84 15.9 (99)


VIC METRO 1.0.6 4.1.25 5.5.35 8.7 (55)

GOALS:

Allies:
J. Walter 3, A. Schoenmaker 2, T. Gander 2, R. Sanders 2, H. Ollington, J. Rogers, J. Callinan, C. McCormack, B. McDonald, C. McKercher


Vic Metro: W. Elliott 2, T. Gross, N. Caddy, K. Brown, J. Croft, N. Watson, B. LaPlanche

BEST:

Allies: J. Walter, R. Sanders, C. McKercher, J.Rogers, E. Read, C. Cleary


Vic Metro: L. Ashcroft, K. Brown, A. Roberts, W. Elliott, W. Lorenz

Ryley Sanders has rocketed up to my number 1 target. He was BOG yesterday imv.  His pace. His class. His balance. Excellent young mid. Only issue is he’s a Tassie boy.  We’d have to back ourselves to keep him when Tassie team comes in.

that's IF there's a tassie team

back us in to keep him if he's the one

sounds like a nice mix of inside-outside and natural ballwinner

If a Tassie born player decides he want to play for Tasmania then I would think that a club would be very well compensated for losing the player. Tassie team will have a massive bounty of picks and future picks and Tassie players will be worth more to them than drat picks as there would be no go home factor for them to worry about. 
If we get 5 years out of a player and then get some very good draft picks in a compromised draft we may end up coming out well in front.

So if we look at the current ladder positions we have picks 8, 15, 26 & 33 as our top 4 picks.

Gold Coast currently have pick 7 and need points, points and more points.

Picks 15 & 26 are worth 1841 points and pick 7 is worth 1644.

Without a doubt we know this and it is highly likely we will have 2 top 10 picks in this draft, assuming Freo and GC both miss the 8.

So then the question is who would we likely take at picks 7 and 8.... which will be pushed out by the GC academy guys.

What about if the suns have pick 4 or 5? What do the points need to be then?

If they have pick 4 or 5 it would be getting tight as to whether they trade it as the bids may come after this pick, but I would say we would have to include pick 33 as well.

Pick 4 is worth 2034 points and 15, 26 & 33 are worth 2404 points.

Have next years first rd pick for trade talks as well.

I reckon Walter will be called out top 3.

Very true. I think in an ideal world GC have pick 5 or 6 and know they have to trade it for extra points.

We will absolutely get involved in this.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
