Assuming they’ve worked out it’s better for tv timeslots

Must think Trent is Jared’s son…

I’m comfortable with Armstrong at pick 9 (whatever that becomes), but I find it hard to see the Saints passing up on him if they keep both their picks. Their key forward stocks are pretty thin with King and Caminiti their main key forwards.

I’m hoping it was more a learning type of thing. Understand what the best young forwards are doing and then play 2025 as a key forward/ruck.

My hat is safe

Can also splurge a little and get medallion seats. Amazing viewing!

He is definitely good enough to be drafted based on underage form for a key tall. Whether he ends up a first round pick will depend on his form next year. Often key talls don't really come into top contention until the year of their draft.

Floyd Burmeister going pick 5?! Madness by JT

In regards to breaks before games, it is much better than last year! Of the 14 games that are set in stone we have the following: 8 or more days - 3 7 days - 5 6 days - 4 5 days - 1 Our 5 day break is against the Tigers who also have a 5 day break.

Hawthorn essentially finished 6. But agree with you

Yep agreed. Don't give a toss what the fixture is, win enough games to make finals or top 4 and we will make money...

Seeing as more people die of skin cancer each year I think the Suns is the scariest of the team names!

We do have another pick that will probably end up about 65

If the choice ends up between O'Sullivan and Smith who we taking? Personally I'd prefer O'Sullivan, has more weapons and could be a game breaker.

The suns have fans with a forum?!? Who knew

Given Tomlinson is gone it would make sense for Petty to go back to the backline, as we are pretty light on for key talls there now. Key forward depth- JVR, Disco, Jefferson, Fullarton, Verrall and Kentfield key back depth- May, Lever, Petty, McDonald and Adams If we take Riak Andrew as a rookie then he would essentially be key back depth, but don’t think he would realistically be an option for 2025. Marty Hore is another, but he is more of a medium/tall rather than key position size.

Same… hated that

‘Wouldn’t bother turning up mate, this team is going nowhere’

How does Verrall look in the drills? I hold out hopes he can become a solid ruck/forward, given I don't think he has the size to be a number 1 ruck.

Rookie Players - AFL.com.au

The AFL website says it's 3.... but wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't bother to update it

It would be nice if the AFL/club provided greater clarity on these matters. Even if we can't move AMW we could still take one of Mentha or Andrew as a Cat A rookie. I also believe we can have 3 Cat B rookies, which I assume means we would have to have 5 Cat A rookies.....

I'm feeling tensions with the podcast crew....🤣

Anyone at training today?

No way Kalani White can be happy about that logo….
