Isaac Conway's sister starred for the Brisbane Lions women this season. He comes from the same junior club as the Wagner brothers. He was well known as a high quality character at Sandgate going through losing his mother mid-season in his U17s.

I coached against Taj Woewodin when he was in U12s (Shane was their coach). He tore us up but in fairness we weren't a strong team (probably an ordinary coach).

He'd be a steal at that for whoever takes him. Not doubting you at all but he was pick 5 before becoming AA and winning a premiership. The Dogs must be definitely keen to clear him out for that.

Mitch Clark was leading the Coleman is the sh***iest team to ever take the (any) park until he injured his foot. He had depression issues following (probably stemming) that and as we've seen with Trenners, foot injuries are career killers. Pretty glad we took a chance on Garlett. Dogs will want our first round and probably more so really its whether people who would have pretty good info think he's worth that to us.

One of the stats nerds had a posting on Twitter that showed Petracca is the best shot on goal in the league, when analysed against the successful percentage of shots made from the same positions.

I took the family down for 2013. My wife and youngest left at halftime. My oldest who was about 10yo is a masochist so we stayed to the death. We got on a tram and were the only Melbourne supporters. I thought "this could get ugly" but any number of Pie supporters gave him a rub on the head and told him that it always turns around. We were so pathetic that even Pies' supporters were sympathetic....

I thought 5-8 was the wildcard.

I'm pretty sure Brent Moloney is playing for Wilston-Grange here in Brisbane. That's a very quick recovery from Josh Wagner.

I handed over my boy's side to another coach this year and the club was looking for a coach for U13 Youth Girls, so I took the gig. There was a real buzz from the girls for the AFLW... I'm working to convert any that are unaligned to the Dees!

There has been a pretty healthy attendance at open training at Maroochydore.

**NB First post so be gentle My U12 side in Brisbane played Cooparoo in my first game as a youth coach last season. They belted us and one kid in particular tore us up. At the end of the game, we went and shook hands with the opposition coaches, exchanged a little small talk and walked away. As we are heading back to the sheds, my assistant coach said "geez that bloke looked familiar", then it struck me that it was Shane Woewodin. Yeah I lined up against a Brownlow medallist and professional football coach in my first game... fmd. I said to my son, if nothing else out of the game, Taj Woewodin will be father/son in six years. I think they moved to Morningside this year.
