Pickett Lever Gawn Sparrow Steele Chandler

Jake Lever superb throughout the day. Stood tall when under siege and then won some crucial contests late to protect the momentum. Langford and Windsor stop fumbling and they will become serious players.

I do think we should target 20-23 year olds to add to our core group. Darcy Wilson hasn't resigned and Saints are worried he will want $ amount they can't afford. Sam Marshall wants games, Jed Walter wants games, Jedd Busslinger wants games, Harry Hustwaite wants games. All yes's from me.

Really disappointed that we did not play anything like we did last week. Better opposition yes, but we didn't even present options for the run and gun.

I feel like the wording from Guerra to say "Past champions have left us and we wish them all the best" to finishing with "Our future will be brighter without Christian and Clayton" is rather harsh. Those 2 boys are champions of our club and should be respected as such.

I'll agree to everything except for the Viney contract. Guy has played a ton of footy and is heart and soul. You keep him around. Losing him to North at the time would've been a bigger story then his current injury is anyway. Oliver and Petracca situations, yes both parties have blame. No one is blameless, and that includes others not mentioned in the clip (Goodwin, Roffey, Griffiths).

Minimums: 6 wins 20 games + into Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, JVR, Taylor, Rivers, K. Pickett, L. Pickett. One of JVR, Kentfield and Jefferson to secure the spot as #1 fwd

Suprised no Steele. I had this idea of incorporating Langford and Lindsay as part of a greater leadership group but it's probably too soon.

Rivers, Windsor and Langford looking sharp in the guts.

Horrible news

Interviewer: Hey Tim, we don't have a first round selection this year. Tim Lamb: Yes that was by design, this years draft is heavily compromised with Academy and F/S Meanwhile every Tim Lamb defender: No we always wanted the picks! We didn't actually want Flanders or Humphrey! Tim Lamb knows what he is doing! The club has been consistent in it's messaging!

SA vs both VIC squads have the most talent available. Plenty of great individual games in Coates talent league. NHH for Stingrays vs the Rebels in Rd 18 is a highlight.

2025 is not a bad draft. Its just a more mid range draft. The shouts that x player would be #1 on this draft may be true, but plenty of these kids have shown a lot. I think a lot of the negativity around this draft stems from the fact SA and the Allies have a strong crop this year and the Vic media dont like it.

Likely taken before we get our picks: Willem Duursma - Anywhere - Mr Versatile. Will be the best of all the Duursma's. Sullivan Robey - Mid/Fwd - Explosive and damaging. Like Trac, but with Oliver's pre-draft rise. Xavier Taylor - DEF/Hb - I think he might be out of reach for us, but maybe he slides. He looks to be solid lockdown defender with a turn of pace and damaging disposal. Cooper Duff-Tytler - Ruck/KF - Absolute massive unit and moves well. Don't think we need his type. Dyson Sharp - Mid - Great inside player and can be explosive. I do feel with Grlj and Dovaston gaining hype he may slide. Likely selections: Aidan Schubert - KF/Ruck - I really like his hands and set shot routine. Very good Athlete. More promise than what I saw from Jefferson. Josh Lindsay - HB/Mid - Classy Left Foot and very composed in traffic. Sam Grlj - Mid/Wing/HB - Speed, endurance, competitive and courage to play. Reminds me of Windsor in size and shape. I think he'd be a great fit if we think King wants more speed. Mitch Marsh - Fwd - Great size and from what i've seen, just seems to be smarter than all of his opponents. Reminds me of Melksham a lot. Lachy Dovaston - Fwd - His combine is going to see him shoot up the rankings. A goal sneak who brings the heat. I think he feels a hole that only Pickett fills. Would be a big target for me. Smokey Selections: Jacob Farrow - Mid/HB - Finds the ball and a great size. WCE should be all over him. Oskar Taylor - HB/Wing - Now we got CJ I don't see us getting him, but another great athlete with room to grow. Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves - Mid/Fwd - Honestly he could be the best player in the draft or a flop. He had a game were he had 30 disposals and kicked 5. Not for me: Oliver Greeves - Mid - Great inside player, but game seems to move past his type. Sam Cumming - Mid - Looks like Tom Sparrow, no thanks.

We knew why they were being traded but the messaging around what we wanted has changed. "Not interested in picks" to "We have a great draft hand" and "Pleased to look forward and build to our new premiership" is different. The only positive we have as fans is the kids that could come in.
