McAdam will be a bargain recruit.

Really admire Quaynor as a player. Quickly establishing himself as one of the best lock down small defenders in the game. His physical strength for such a young player is very impressive. Won some crucial contests in the grand finald and throughout the finals series.

Essendon had a training session this morning at their home ground and there was a huge turnout of their supporters despite the rain. Mate was there and posted on his instagram story.

Marlion Pickett debut in the AFL grand final is for me considering his challenges in the past being in jail etc.

You can ask him on here.

Play him in the midfield please.

Debatable. Look, I don't see much upside in Jordon from a skill set point of view, but let's not pretend that Sparrow is much better by foot. Both just as poor as one another. Whilst Sparrow has more penetration and distance in his foot skills, he also had some horrendous turnover by foot in some games. He's not much different to how Brent Moloney was. To be honest, I see more upside in Taj Woewodin then I do in Sparrow and Jordon. Like you, I am also hoping Laurie comes on as a mid/forward because he could really add to the mix with his skill set and agility.

Yes correct. 198cm ruckman who only played a handful of games.

Yeah..... I'm in the [censored] aren't I lol....

"No one is forcing you to open this thread"

He's not going to be that great of a loss nor can I see him being in their best 22. They've got some good talent coming through their midfield and I don't know where he fits amongst all that.

Is it not a serious question but? Why are we putting air time into a West Coast player on here? Are we starting threads on every opposition player that gets an injury all of a sudden?

Genuinely thought we were bringing back the old forum footy matches..

Broadmeadows

Thanks to all the training reports. Are there any of positional changes to note? I know there's the Tom McDonald down back but anything else? Would like to see someone like a Jake Bowey get trialed in the midfield going into next year.

I don't think Petty will be ready by round 1 so certainly opens up the door for Brown.

How I have missed you @Six6Six 👏👏

Great report!

Will be turning 14 in January some time. Still some water to go under the bridge, bur so far he's had a pretty good start to his small junior career. A best and fairest for Cairns under 12s plus a top 3 finish in the league vote. He's also represented QLD under 12s school boys team which is usually a good indicator that the kid can already play at a young age. He's certainly a watch this space in years to come.

I never suggest you bring them all in at once... You're getting confused. Some of those 9 have already tasted AFL action

Because if we don't do this and start exposing some of our more promising kids then we'll fall completely off the cliff once the likes of May and Gawn retire. Introducing the kids alongside May and Gawn will only benefit their development.
