Breakout year for me, would be Adams, Fullerton, Verrell, Howes and Jefferson. All others mentioned have had breakout years, what we need is for some to recapture form and others to improve on prior best years. I would say we only had 2-3 players last year who performed above normal output.

Cam Pederson type. Set to play next year

Is Laura Kane previously from Play School?

Arrived, didn’t like the culture, then left…

Good to see Clarry back and happy. From the photos taken at training, he looks he will need every day of preseason to be hard fit for round 1. Hopefully the drive is still in him.

Would be happy with all those guys in a leadership capacity with JVR

Rookie spots need a major overhaul if Markov gets a rookie spot

Will be mentoring Clarry and healing wounds with Trac among other things. Valuable edition in a time we need leaders!

The AFL love it as do the TV rights holders as it gives the boundary riders something to talk about when it’s not windy and raining sideways... I love when they cross downstairs to the boundary and they say that the sub is warming up, but they have been on the ground 5 minutes and already had 10 touches and a goal!

He has lots of talent and scope for improvement. He lets himself down with his defensive work, especially when the ball is on the ground. Needs to get stronger legs and core and keep his feet. Hoping that he can cement a spot like AMW in the back half.

Tasckle..

Always a bit strange the lingering injury. Felt a bit like a 12 week Hammy

2 gun midfield picks and we kept our current guns.. development of Kolt and Windsor. This year couldn’t have got any worse, let’s hope 2025 couldn’t get any better!!!

Wouldn’t use a first rounder on a ruck again, unless they are a bonafide gun forward too.

We need to use these 2 picks to get the best midfielders we can get. Guys with pace who can use the ball. This gives us coverage should Tracc and or Clarry move on next year. I am really comfortable with talls for next year, however we may need to revisit the following year. Petty goes back for mine and hoping Jefferson can grab that 2nd key forward spot. Adam’s may or may not make it. But give him time next year and hoping he can experience senior football at the back end. Key for us is to see improvement and growth from last years recruits in Kolt, Billing’s, McAdam and Fullerton. If they can fulfill potential, then that will be huge. Good year to have good draft picks
