  1. The Training Gallery: April 19 is up and there’s no sign of Majak in any of the pictures.
  2. Injury & Suspension List: Round 5 Mitch Brown - Concussion Protocols | Available Joel Smith - H & S Protocols | Available Ben Brown - Suspension | 1 week Michael Hibberd - Calf | 2 weeks Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-5 weeks Christian Salem - Knee | 4-6 weeks
  3. Also worth noting that all VFL games are being streamed on the AFL website and App - https://www.afl.com.au/news/725460/vfl-streaming-watch-every-game-live-and-free-in-2022
  4. A Facebook picture of Wal Wuol (now a 20 year old).
  5. Hope this doesn’t derail our season. Back in the early 90s, there was an extra week off for Melbourne due to the draw between West Coast and Collingwood and we certainly suffered as a consequence.
  6. The Suns picked him at number 5, one ahead of Josh Rachele who kicked 5 goals on debut for Adelaide on Sunday.
  7. Michael Hibberd (soreness ) — Round 1 Steven May (soreness) — Round 1 Christian Salem (knee) — Round 1 Harry Petty (knee) — 3 to 4 weeks Trent Rivers (knee) — 3 to 4 weeks
  8. This year’s early top 10 1. Will Ashcroft (Brisbane F/S) 183cm midfielder (Sandringham Dragons) 2. Elijah Tsatas 184cm midfielder (Oakleigh Chargers) 3. George Wardlaw 181cm midfielder (Oakleigh Chargers) 4. Adam D'Aloia 184cm midfielder (Woodville-West Torrens) 5. Harry Lemmey 199 cm key position forward (West Adelaide) 6. Jackson Broadbent 202cm ruckman (Peel Thunder) 7. Jhye Clark 183cm midfielder (Geelong Falcons) 8. Elijah Hewett 182cm midfielder (Swan District) 9. Jed Hagan 174cm midfielder (East Fremantle) 10. Harry Sheezel 183cm medium forward (Sandringham Dragons)
  9. I had him top 10 in my December 2020 draft:- 1. Jason Horne (Sth Adelaide, SA) 2. Nick Daicos (Oakleigh Chargers - Collingwood Father/Son) 3. Josh Rachele (Murray Bushrangers) 4. Josh Sinn (Sandringham Dragons) 5. Ben Hobbs (GWV Rebels) 6. Tyler Sonsie (Eastern Ranges) 7. Lachlan Brooks (Sandringham Dragons) 8. Jacob Van Rooyen (Claremont, WA) 9. Joshua Browne (East Fremantle, WA) 10. Campbell Chessar (Sandringham Dragons) Here is what some other experts had to say:- Cal Twomey van Rooyen booted 24 goals in the final six games of the colts season as a key forward but it is in defence where many clubs see the swingman's future. The Claremont product is a tireless worker and competitor, giving him an advantage as a key-position player at either end. The Lions could look to beef up their key-position stocks in van Rooyen. Owen Leonard The Claremont product holds a demonstrated ability to play at either end of the ground. He booted 30 goals in just eight games at colts level, proving how dangerous he is when deployed in attack, but many believe he plays his best football in the backline. His proficiency at either end of the ground — combined with his height of 194cm and his ready-made weight — means van Rooyen boasts a scarce skillset, particularly when compared to others in this draft pool. Chris Doerre Profile: Despite spending much of the year up forward -- providing a commanding marking target with his leap and aerial strength -- Van Rooyen's play when utilised in defence has been even better. Van Rooyen in defence takes intercept marks at will and with his one-on-one capabilities has proven difficult to beat.
  10. Off to Gold Coast, me thinks.
  11. In the early part of the draft, great minds think alike - Phantom AFL draft first round: where the best prospects could land
  12. We’ll know by this time tomorrow.
  13. Because everyone in the media and most on line experts are saying that he’s guaranteed to go top ten. I thought maybe Fremantle would have a crack at him although they’re well served in the ruck and are pretty much into getting some home grown WA talent.
  14. Yeah nah. When I was a kid my mother used to complain that our local butcher used to put his thumb on the scales when he weighed her meat order. Mac needs to check this next time he weighs himself.
  15. Pick 11 is very, very interesting 11. St Kilda Mac Andrew (Dandenong Stingrays) Ruckman 201cm 74kg
  16. He’s the best thing since they invented sliced bread.
  17. Perhaps it’s because some of the people who prepare these bios don’t really have a clue?
  18. If you want a tall then next year’s the year for it. There’s a 199cm tall from SA called Harry Lemmy who will be all the rage next year as a key position forward prospect.
  19. Funny that young Woewodin models his game on Steele Sidebottom but runs so fast over the initial 20 metres. Sidey isn’t very fast himself but makes up for it with quick thinking.
  20. Adelaide has pick 4 - unlikely. Carlton - no top 20 picks and drafted 210-centimetre ruckman Alex Mirkov from Old Ivanhoe in the VAFA in this year’s mid season draft. Gold Coast Suns - have only one draft pick at 3 - unlikely and also took 205cm Ned Moyle of the Oakleigh Chargers in this year’s mid-season draft. StKilda - have Pick 9 but they did take a developing ruckman in this year’s mid-season draft, 204cm Max Heath. Western Bulldogs - no top 20 picks but will be taking 204cm Sam Darcy as a father/son. More a forward but could be developed as a ruckman. GWS at 13 which will become 15 after father/sons is probably the only real suitor and if not them, Melbourne might not be called upon to match until the mid 20s.
  21. I’m not ruling Brisbane out of the equation but the Lions drafted 204cm Kalin Lane in this year’s mid-season rookie draft. They also drafted 206cm Henry Smith in last year’s National Draft. With list sizes numbering just above 40, can you afford to have more than two developing ruck prospects?
  22. Quite right but you also missed that the Tigers have two other young developing ruckmen on their list. Samson Ryan is 206cm, 96kg from Queensland and he played one game for them during the year. He’s the bloke Hardwick suggested should be loaned out to the Suns for the rest of the year to cover their injuries. They also have a real giant in Category B rookie, Mate Colina (213cm) who is the cousin of Noah Balta and a close family friend of Soldo and ruck coach Ivan Maric. How many development ruckmen do you reckon one club needs?
  23. Mac Andrew would have been a smokey if not for the fact that everyone made a big deal about him. 😀
  24. There’s something weird about the article. Numerous draft prospects are mentioned in it but there’s one name conspicuously missing. Mac Andrew. Why would that be?
