Smith isnt a known exit just yet. The club may debate putting him on the rookie list on minimum coin - we still have no idea about his suspension etc. 

I'd be pleased with that if fences can/have been mended

Here's a few...

- Our win against Port in South Australia early in the year for Viney's 200th! My first foray into SA to watch us play was a good one!

- Caleb Windsor immediately looking at home on the Robbie Flower wing at the MCG

- Ed Langdon returning to 2021/early 2022 form late in the second half of the year.

- Our thrilling win against Geelong and Bayley Fritsch's potential GOTY match sealer.

- Disco Turner showing promise as a third tall in the forward line.

- JVR's first half against the Eagles at the G. Overall, another great development season for Roo.

- Max Gawn with another AA quality year. Should be named on the bench at a minimum if not ruck

- Trent Rivers in the midfield.

- Kynan Brown's match winning tackle against the Roos on debut.

- Jake Melksham's return from an ACL.
