44 goals in his first full season suggests otherwise. At age 22 in the most difficult position on the ground, mind you. Oh and we drafted Bailey Laurie before him

And yet the team he came from relied on 2 brilliant key forwards in Cameron and Neale (both in the top 15 Coleman)

Agree, but they are not tall forwards. Milkshake is 35 next year. He is not going to kick more than 20 goals. I like Fritsch but he needs decent talls around him to get back to his '21 form. Hopefully Mihocek can provide that

Their best and fairest, Gunston, is a key forward. Only 2nd in the Coleman last year. Choi, another key forward, finished in top 20 Coleman too

Apart from Freo, what forward line is stacked with key forwards? We don't have 1 decent key tall, apart from perhaps Mihocek

And here is last year's output from the tall forwards we do have: Petty - 20 goals from 19 games JVR - 16 goals from 16 games Jeffo - 4 goals from 7 games Johnson - 3 goals from 5 games Heath - 3 goals from 4 games Kentfield, White - 0 goals from 0 games Only Mihocek had a decent return last year of 36 goals from 22 games. But he will be 33 in Feb. So @Ugottobekidding has a point. We need a key forward that can take a mark and kick goals!

Melksham (186cm) and Fritsch (188cm) are not tall forwards

Only 8 out of 25 for Cal this time round, with only Liam Hetherton (#27) and Louis Emmett (#30) remaining as chances. Really hope we pick Ludowyke with our 3rd pick tonight

Surprised Ludowyke not on Twomey's list. Would be amazing if we could snag him with our 3rd pick

Grlj to Hawks at #14 would be very annoying

So basically more than 40% of the current squad can't be [censored]. What's their excuse?

Only Eagles and Dees not part of this: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1452342/showdown-sydney-derby-headline-run-of-six-friday-night-double-headers Wonder if we will get any Friday night games

According to Twomey, pick 12, which is effectively our #8 after the 4 academy/FS selections prior

He'll be playing with his twin brother

Lamb sounds irritated. Had to drop "learnings" though

Same boat alright. The Blue Goose

And Stringer and Green. But to get the CEO and the coach on the boat as well suggests it may have already been planned?

Not a snowflake chance in hell..... "CEO Andrew Dillon said the purchase of the ground would assist with "talent pathways programs, community footy, and umpire development and programs"." And don't Freo and West Coast want to use it for training when over here?

Planned meeting? All the big hitters on the boat

I assume Flash is referring to Neeld. No surprises there

It did 3 weeks ago in the interview

Not sure inside mids really need to "check that box", more so now with 5 on the interchange. What's to say 2 crash and bash rotating mids isn't the fashion in 2026?

Seemingly both....20 days is a very long time in footy

4. "A Soapbox Opera" 8. "Just a Normal Day" 10. "Two of Us"

Need a multi million dollar tax payer funded training facility for a program like that. Incidentally, didn't Kingy almost have a heart attack after peddling too hard on the watt bike in the altitude training room down at Kardinia Park?
