On Gus & Gawny, they touched briefly on the mid season draft, and mentioned the 'Werribee player' that trained with the club (didn't name him but was obviously Declase), and reading between the lines, sounded like he didn't impress

Finally sounds like a definitive 1-2 weeks for Viney, rather than a guess

Who has the cliff notes?

Quite simply he's a confidence player, if he gets his hands to one, more typically follow. The one he dropped from Spargo was a killer.

Reminds me of Elliot Yeo. Think he'll be a midfielder eventually.

Would have thought Goody would have given Gus a vote

Know it's not exactly a player trade target, but could we be aggressive to move into the top 10 of the draft this year? Perhaps trade a 2nd rounder and a future 1st and target the best available outside midfielder?

All speculation

Would be the Cerra on top but don't have the draft capital. I'd assume we'd be looking at Langdon types who will only cost 2nd rounders or there abouts.

Yeah, the BYE can't come quick enough for him

6. Oliver 5. Harmes 4. Fristch 3. Petracca 2. ANB 1. Brayshaw

We won't have our best mix til my boy Bailey Laurie is locked in

Spargo to Caleb Daniel ANB to Bailey Dale Stop their rebounding half backs and you'll slow the dogs. Treloar & Dunkley out helps - run Harmes with Macrae or Libba all night, those two are more taggable than Bont.

Remove the question mark from the title of this thread!

Feels like the penny has dropped a bit where he's realising he's bigger, stronger & quicker than almost all mids

Now #1 in the coaches votes

Tom Brown reckons Salem has a groin issue & good chance to miss this week. Interesting after Goodwin confirmed he'd be back in his presser. One to watch.

I agree we lack another good ball user but Hunt's still a weapon when he plays okay - is there room for both?

Key forwards don’t have to be anything more than serviceable, needing great ones is a myth

Witho is weak as [censored] and a seagull. Not quite convinced he has any real contribution to winning.

Yeah it was a tongue in cheek comment. Just meant he has the mobility of a big bodied mid, to say we play '3 talls' probably doesn't tell the full story given his flexibility

Jacko is a midfielder first

I love you Clayton

Not surprised Melksham is back given I don't think there's really a small/mid typed forward who is knocking the door down at the moment. Might be a bit of best of a bad bunch. I'd expect Melksham will come out for Viney in a week or two anyway. Fingers crossed Bailey Laurie can play some good VFL footy in the second half of year, would play a similar role to Melksham. I would have kept Brown for a couple more weeks but understand the added mobility of Weid is enticing.
