Brilliant as usual @DeeSpencer and @kev martin

The way he moves yes! So smith and ridiculously clean.

Jesus even at senior level he likes to hit them hard. There is seriously so much Byron in him! And I [censored] love it!!

I can't recall Cyril's under 18s year all that well. I do remember I think in one of the under 18s championships games he kicked 7 goals playing as a midfielder/ half forward. I think that game really skyrocketed his credentials in a big way.

Which is a dead set joke really.

No. Because he is a completely different player to Weightman. When I spent time with Spargo at the bushies, he played his best footballer as a midfielder. He was voted best player in the under 16s championships when he was playing as a full time mid then resting up forward.

I burst out laughing at the Spargo comparison from Norm. Honestly you couldn't find two completely different players in Spargo and Weightman. Spargo is your forward/midfield who is more of a link up accumulator type who will eventually push into the midfield. Weightman is more of your jack in the box type forward. The Jamie Elliot comparisons are real. Weightman actually likes to fly for his marks and has that genuine x factor that can turn a game within minutes. So yes @old dee if you want Weightman then you will love when you start watching him play. Talented kid indeed.

It's a hard one, and i am a bit torn. I like Pickett, i really do, and he's exactly what we need. He fits the Goodwin style of play with his hard and aggressive approach to the contest. His not a Jeff Garlett type but definitely more your Byron Pickett/Cyril Rioli type. I am torn because at pick 10, you have the likes of Ash, Kemp, Robertson and even Young who are probably more talented and still be available around that mark. In saying that if the club decides with Pickett at 10 then i can see why they would go with this approach. He fits a significant need for us and i can see him playing senior footy early in his career. Having the likes of May, Jetta and Bennell to a degree play a leadership role for Pickett will only do him wonders.

Can someone inbox me the article please.

Stark different to the Neeld years when all we ever did at training right up until xmas was 400m runs around the oval..

You could definitely put a strong case that Hodge and Judd were top 3 prospects of that draft. Luke Ball not so much.

Reiwoldt wasn't in the Judd/Ball draft.

Speaking of loons, where the heck is @DV8?? Aka @dee-luded?

For someone that claims to watch a few games here and there you seem to get some easy facts wrong. WA won the game.. There were also bigger significant factors that had bigger influence on the game then just that 'one kick' yourself and the same joe blow's that continueto harp on about it on here. I look at Luke Jackson critical hitouts to Robertson and his WA mids deep into the last qtr that really got them going and eventually over the line to take home the championships title.

Loves a hang time though...

Really not sure how I feel about this.

Anyone know why Oskar Baker is doing light rehab? I don't recall him getting an injury towards back end of the year or surgery?

Think you you'll find player are still fitting in gym work 3 times a week. Usually after they have done their training out on the track they'll head into lunch then smash out another hour and a half of gym and extra touch.

Lever was very heavily considered here due to Paul Roos rating his leadership ability. Roos compared him to Paul Kelly and Brett Kirk in terms of leadership and his ability to have a huge influence in terms of driving a positive team culture.

Yeah cool. Didn't answer my question but anywho..

What are you doing on here then? Dead set honest question? If you are so concerned with the dribble you just spat out, then surely for your own sake you'd stop posting on an online forum. Everything you just wrote down is exactly what you do on here. You do know that right?

You get the few blow ins that come in and try and stomp their feet here and there. After a while Mods will pick up up on it and send them away to the dung hole for a significant period.

Jesus the combination of the @Duke and @kev martin of training reports are quite a lethal combo. Some of your best work you two.

Stephens, Kemp, Young, Ash and Robertson are players I would happily take at 10 ahead of Weightman.

Because Bradke and Preuss aren't exactly guaranteed to make it at AFL level. Simple really.
