Asking for a friend - anyone have three tickets spare for the Grand Final?

My early top 10 for next year 1. Finn O'Sullivan - 181cm Vic Country 2. Levi Ashcroft - 179cm Vic Metro (Lions F/S) 3. Sid Draper - 180cm South Australia 4. Josh Smillie - 194cm Vic Metro 5. Leonardo Lombard - 178cm Allies (Suns Academy) 6. Tyler Welsh - 191 cm South Australia (Crows F/S) 7. Jagga Smith - 181cm Vic Metro 8. Christian Moraes - 182cm Vic Metro 9. Tom Gross - 182cm Vic Metro 10. Ben Camporeale - 184cm South Australia (Carlton F/S) This suggests that we should be looking forward to more bidding for academy and father/sons but not to the scale extent that we saw in last week’s draft.

Happy with that and now working on my 2024 list.

We listed Kynan Brown as a Category B in the Rookie Draft. Does this mean we still have two rookie places? Assuming it does and we take Marty Hore, how is the club looking to fill the other vacancy?

Sounds familiar. 😀

Seeing as how the game takes place in a little over 24 hours time, I can’t see why they haven’t released the teams.

Trouble with Phantom Drafts at this time of year is that things change over the finals and then again when trading starts.

And if Alonzo Rockland-Nelson makes it, I’m pretty sure that he would be the first Alonzo to make it. What a strange world it is that we live in?

On the AFL site, Ben Brown is shown as a “test” so I suggest that he will be given a further opportunity to prove his fitness and prospects of playing AFL finals further down the track. Michael Hibberd is also being shown as a “test” though he might not have qualified under what are believed to be the rules. Perhaps, a request for exemption might be warranted on the basis of his return from injury?

Club update to come but this has just gone up on the AFL site (no mention of Fritta) https://www.afl.com.au/news/1020359/medical-room-the-full-afl-injury-list-week-one-of-finals

Club update to come but this has just gone up on the AFL site (no mention of Fritta) BBB and Hibbo included as tests! I will also put this up on the Fritta thread.

Where’s Hibbo at the moment? Can he break into the team?
