Can’t see the Allies being as good as last year

Why not, you have 4 NGA academy's that have priority access to every player in their respective states.  They actually speed a lot of time developing the kids in an elite environment.

Jeez I love seeing the family name as the sponsor!!

Because the side last year was elite even without the academy players. The Tassie boys last year were exceptional with two A graders for that level. Jed Walter’s is not the sort of player who comes along often that’s why I said it

Thanks, I think they will still be strong and continue to be strong on the back of the northern state NGAs.

Love that White is named, and kind of love that Mentha hasn't been?

so judging by the stats at the start of the 3rd quarter kalani is yet to take to the field

He wasn’t on the field for the first half. St least I couldn’t see him! I didn’t watch the 3rd but seems like he came on. 

Lombard looks sensational

Is he playing in the wrong number?

He’s a player.  Will debut early next year.  Another GC17 Gift from the AFL.  Suns get yearly ACADEMY PICKS and also NGA Darwin picks.  Huge bonus especially as Academy can be automatically matched by the Duns.

I reckon he is. Just saw him make a spoil but not sure he was 42

Reckon he's 39

Spirit, thanks for the info. It just feels so wrong.

 

Do they have replays available for these games? Didn't get a chance to watch it unfortunately.

Stat sheets has White with 6 possessions and no hit outs. Isn’t he meant to be ruck? Regardless, and underwhelming result

CHB

And only played the second half

Good exposure playing as a bottom ager in the national championships.   Well done to the kid, obviously going to be a hot prospect.
