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.

2. Jed Walter 194cm key position forward (Suns Academy / Allies)
3. Daniel Curtin - 195cm key position defender (Claremont)
4. Ashton Moir 186cm forward (Glenelg)
5. Nick Watson 169cm small forward (Eastern Rangers)
6. Zane Duursma 188cm forward (Gippsland Power)

8. Jack Delean 181cm small forward (South Adelaide)
9. Nathan Philactides 180cm defender (Oakleigh Chargers)
10. Mitchell Edwards 205cm ruckman (Peel Thunder)

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?

Really?

If had you read my post properly you might have noticed that I wrote that he played senior AFL footy. The Suns of both last year and this year were a different proposition to Melbourne because they were off the pace and could afford to give the kids a game.

His selection was a surprise to many of their fans including a mate of mine who lives on the Coast and disagrees with your statement that he “had a fairly strong VFL year.” In fact, he struggled to get his hands on the footy in many games as I wrote above.

In my view, having a strong year entails being named in the best more than once in about 15 games.

But don’t believe me, the Suns fans on bigfooty  were less than impressed by him for most of the journey. Here’s an example.

Sounds familiar. 😀

Injury List: Qualifying Final


Michael Hibberd - Concussion | Available 
Bayley Fritsch - Foot | Test
Ben Brown - Knee | TBC
Luke Dunstan - Knee | Season
Blake Howes - Hand | Season 
Jake Melksham - Knee | Season
Harrison Petty - Foot | Season 
Oliver Sestan - Elbow | Season

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.

Pretty sure he would be the first Orlando to play AFL if he makes it.

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)

BBB and Hibbo included as tests!

I will also put this up on the Fritta thread.
