Max gawn was on mmm rush hour this afternoon apparently. Anyone catch it, of course the 2 players traded would have been mentioned

The best bit of that clip was Billy taking the pizz out of Max when he alluded to Grundy and Luke Jackson being in the one team - “they’d be playing VFL, Gawny”

Not much else said really. There is 2 mins of ads in the about 4 min clip too…

I had 3 categories for midfielders

Inside mid

Running mid

Mid/forward rotation

Riley Onley is unique. No sure he fits into any of those 3. Like Cripps, he has a size advantage over other midfielders and can still burst through at clearance. He’s a “big tall mid” who has shown the physical power and footy ability to really stand out. A great addition.

Langford (191) and Culley (194) aren’t that much smaller. Midfield bulls everywhere.

What would you do if you were the list manager this year?

Who retires?

Who is delisted?

Who is pushed for trade?

Going to have another go at assessing the 2026 EOC crop way ahead of time to see how my thinking stacks up against Lambs and to see who outperforms their expected output and earns themselves longer

Retire: May, McDonald, Campbell,

Delist: McAdam, Henderson, Laurie, Johnson, Moniz-Wakefield (i wouldnt with AMW personally)

Trade/FA: Sparrow

this is what i predict Lamb will see it, i think maybe Melky holds on again, if they get tight for list spots Culley might get squeezed, i think theyll go around AGAIN on Jefferson (i wouldn't)

If it was up to me you'd swap Jefferson and AMW.

I think also a trade watch on Lever at the end of the season too, could get a May-esque nudge if his can't get on top of his knee/ankle issues
