The most recent Intel from Track watchers is TMac and BBB are training well. I wouldn't be that surprised in JvR is forced to wait, or Chandler for that matter. A forward line of TMac, BBB, Fritta, Spargo, ANB and Kozzie, with Grundy resting forward and Trac/Viney swapping with Koz is most likely

You'd reckon its probably trained on close to 50 years of us being around that mark, so not that surprising

They were really thrown off by the Socceroos not progressing

So, this trade and draft period we've brought in: 3 rucks (Grundy, Ferris-White and Verrel) 2 Key forwards (Jefferson and Schace) 1 Key Back (Addams) And a mid and a mid forward. After losing 1 ruck (Luke) and 1 Key forward (Weid, 2 if count M Brown).

I don't know alot about the Paxy stuff, but I know a bit about this because it's not a rumour, it's been confirmed. Daisy is part of the coaching acceleration project. As part of this, she'll be placed into a club's AFL program to get the coaching experience. It was announced last year she'd be going to Geelong, but the timing hasn't been decided; Daisy said it'd be after her playing career at Melbourne, and from all of her comments after the GF she hasn't decided when she'll finish up. I think it makes sense for her to explore other experiences with other clubs. No-one stays with the same club forever, but it doesn't mean she won't be back eventually.

The other clubs need two scouts at every session; one to watch the prospects and one to watch whoever JT is watching

Pretty underwhelming, given all the hype about us possibly trading up.

Lever replacement? Isn't he 25?

Maybe it's not Paxy they'd be outing. Or, maybe they are actually close friends and that's why they didn't say they're in a relationship.

Don't begrudge her at all if she leaves. Gets played out of position with our glut of mids, and has stuck around to win a flag. Now she's done that, good luck to her whatever she wants to do.

Interesting that one recruiter on AFL said last year, the consensus was the 2022 draft would be filled with great tall prospects. It hasn't panned out that way at all. Forecasting how good a draft class will be 12 months out is fraught with danger.

I'd be surprised if we take Jefferson if there is any question about his competitiveness. If he's worked on it and he's improved, that's positive. But if it's still a question mark, I wouldn't be surprised to see us take someone else and look for a KPF later

Max has a bit of a history of exaggeration

How do you know a Collingwood supporter invented the toothbrush? Otherwise it'd be called the teethbrush

Libby plays angry. I don't mind it at all. It's not something you see alot in the AFLW. Again, some of the things that Hanks, Purcell and West do just make me shake my head. So clean with the ball. Two home games to hopefully sew up a top 2 spot.

Now he's a Dee, it definitely should have been a free in the GF last year when Brayshaw cannoned into his back...

Mitchell got to Pies, O'Meara got to Freo and Meek got to Hawthorn

Paul Connors was on Trade Radio, said Hunter knew he'd made some mistakes but was keen to progress his footy

Future third and they pay part of his salary? Not bad

Farewell, big sexy. It was fun while it lasted, but it lasted a lot longer than it should have. Still not sure why he signed that contract extension last year.

I'm probably wrong, but I didn't think that was the rule. Bur it makes sense they could trade their first and second because they'd still have a future second from Nth.

Good point. So maybe it is North's? Or the AFL sign off on this when they won't for Port

Fox Footy saying it may be that future 3rd for Freo's future 2nd. A bit disappointing if it's not the Nth 2nd, could easily be a pick over 30. So the total package may be: 13, roughly 10-12, 30 for Jackson and 40-44.
