Yeah, so that would be Campbell.

Nah, offer the world to Chris Fagan. Guy is an absolute quality coach.

No. We have a defensive mid already in Sparrow. Robertson is an absolute ball butcher and would be a terrible pick up.

Similar if not better. Campbell's VFL numbers are a lot better then Forts just fyi.

Two grand finals. Two stinkers. Yikes.

Yeah nah. Factually incorrect and a completely made up from your end. There are reasons why she left, this wasn't one of them.

Not really.. he played only 1 game for Casey and that was as a top up player when he was with the Gippsland Power back in 2015. Agree with the rest though, Judd McVee is a Melbourne listed player and was drafted from East Fremantle, not. Casey..

Today's just proves why it's incredibly important to have an experienced and well seasoned back up ruck ready to go when needed. You think Chris Fagan wouldn't have breathed a sigh of relief knowing he's got a solid back up there ready to go after big O went down. As Max Gawn has said this week, Darcy Fort just needs to compete and scrag Grundy all day. Simple task.

Happy grand final day! Greatest day ever on the sporting calendar. Brisbane by 3 and Hugh McLugguge for the Normie.

They're only involved due to animal cruelty that occurred back in September 25th 2021.

Where does that leave us list spot wise and how many spots?

Seems hes the front runner.

Very interesting..

I've been always baffled why we we've neglected the Irish pathway considering we are the very first clubs to ever pioneer this in the 80s. I'd take this route every single day over useless ex basketballers turned football wannabes which is pathway we've failed in the last few years.

According to AFL.com.au TWO Irish AFL hopefuls will trial at clubs next week in bids to win spots as Category B rookies. Derry star Eoin McEvoy and Irish under-20 rugby talent Davy Colbert will arrive in Australia this week ahead of a period where they will push to get on an AFL list. The pair are being brought out by the AFL having tested well in training sessions in Ireland, with Colbert, 20, having played for Ireland in the under-20 rugby World Cup in South Africa while also featuring in the Gaelic competition. McEvoy, 21, is considered an emerging star of the Gaelic competition. The duo will train alongside the under-17s Futures squad later this week and attend the Grand Final on Saturday before trialling at a number of clubs next week – including Essendon, Melbourne and Geelong – before meeting more clubs at the Telstra AFL Draft Combine the following week where they will take part in testing.

We're keeping tabs according to AFL.com.au and have held long term interest. Comes out of contract at the end of 2026.

I'm guessing our future first will be included in some capacity?

Happy from my end. I could see us perhaps targeting perhaps a midfielder just for depth but that might come late in the draft. If there was a time to top up on elite young talent through the draft it's this year.

Most on here need to accept that this will most likely be the outcome of our trade period. When you have a year like we did then we're not exactly a destination club for A graders. I do hope we're more working on getting another first round pick more then anything.

Dunstan was 26 when we recruited him.

Because when you finish the year like we have, then realistically you're not going to attract the A grade talent. I'm a big believer that if we can grab another first rounde pick inside the top 20 then that will go a long way into rejuvenating our list and stay in finals contention over the next few year.

Lol.. how can you seriously praise their ruthless list manage yet take a swipe at ours at the same time? Rohan is absolutely cooked and was struggling even at VFL level to get a kick this year. In 5 VFL games this year he averaged 6.4 disposals per game and yet you think he had a one year left in him and that him being cut is ruthless and good list management but poor on Melbourne's behalf?? Bizarre.. Foster a young Tomahawk!?? Lol if he is a young Tomahawk then why didn't he play senior footy or is getting delisted? 19 goals in 18 games averaging 6 disposals a game doesn't reek anything remotely close to being compared to Tom Hawkins. Hardie and Parfitt are clearly both VFL scrubbers and no different to any other delisted player going around. They'd add zero benefits to our team.
