I'm heading in for a look. First time I've ever been to a training so looking forward to it. Doubt I'll be able to report much on individuals, I battle to tell the players apart even when they're wearing numbers on game day

Could even push for the 44 they just got for Witts

I loved it. Quite enjoy a brainteaser every now and then. I wouldn't be opposed to a who am I riddle of a past player throughout the off season. Could be a fun regular thread whilst waiting for the season to come around

Lewis looks like a giraffe in his pic

So I think we now have picks 57, 59, 84, 102. What will Mahoney the magician do next?

It looks good to me. But if it's the case how the bloomin heck to we get him?

Ocean bound may mean heading off to the ocean, leaving port. And Fremantle is a well known port

That's enough for me. I'm sold

Could also go a bit of cockney rhyming slang. N Fyfe = knife. Fyfe is also an ocean bound coastal part of Scotland. Now what does Nathan have to do with wings?

Thought the same. He's only going to get better too

I read somewhere they they will be training 8 or 9 hours a week. So depending on how long the season and their preseason is someone might be able to work out the hourly wage

Count out norf and Hawks as he said it's an interstate player, down to 7 clubs

Goddammit I was really hoping it'd be Goatflaps, had already put aside a spot on my duffel coat for his badge

But not completely as we don't know what pick we will be giving the Hawks yet

In regards to his set shots, a mate and I were discussing a few days ago about a player in the 90's who completely changed his style. Used to take a grab, scuff the turf where the mark was, step back another 5 yards and make another scuff so he knew his direct approach. We thought it could have been Buckethands Loewe who was a shocking kick before Peter Hudson straightened him up but can't find any footage to confirm. Perhaps that is an approach Jesse needs. Stripped back, short and straight

Toby Nankervis? Currently at home in Tassie which is bound by ocean. Is a swan so has wings to spread. The letters for KNIVES is in his name which can spread butter, or there is a Toby Knife. Bit obscure I know

Interstate teams with wings are the Eagles, Crows and Swans. The 2 players I found from those lists who have obvious "ocean bound" names are Beech (beach) and Shaw (shore) from the crows. I'm still missing the butter knife bit but

Just chatting to a Hawks mate who just read that Lewis has allegedly just been spotted at Gold Coast airport? There's more twists and turns to this every minute

I think perhaps Clarko sees Mitch as his successor. Said go learn the ropes then come back and take my place. That would explain why there's no malice

Id say it was probably 186cm and they accidentally reversed it. The rucks in my girlfriend's div 3 team are taller than me and I'm 178cm

Just asked one of my hawks mates who he reckons they're talking about. He thought it'd have to be Birch out of all of the ones mentioned

Well we've just signed Pederson for one more year so I'm guessing they'll persevere with him til the Weed is ready

I think these are just the Category B rookies, ones who haven't been playing footy but have the rough potential to play. Like how we have Shaun Smith's son the basketballer or how some teams get rookies from overseas. I have a bit to do with my local womens club and had a player nominate for the draft (and a couple get approached to nominate) and I think it's not far off, in the coming weeks

Well I've managed to navigate twitter for the first time and follow this fella. He's pretty active and seems to do a little more than some of the other trade rumour mobs who copy and paste other pages. Now to wait for the notification to see if he's got a decent sauce or spinning bull twaddle
