I’m excited as anyone but I’m going in with lower expectations, if he kicks 3, has good connection with the midfielder, and gets through unhindered I’ll be happy.

anything less than 10 and I’m disappointed

I’m guessing it’s Melksham to make way for Ben Brown, and Jones will now be managed to get him through the season and hopefully into the big dance. Will be interesting to see who replaces Jones (Sparrow or Chandler?).

Bedford probably a big chance for that spot too

Cody making his VFL debut tonight. Kid has talent

Cody Raak (Jets). Started on fire in the NAB league. A tall 194 cms sized defender in the mould of Lever, Ridley, McGovern and has excellent skills and agility to be a rebounder and interceptor.  Probably one of the youngsters who missed the draft last year but is going to be a certainty this year.  Mid year draft perhaps for the Dees. 

Cody is with the dogs NGA and dogs have told him they are 99% sure they will get him

I don't get the hype around this kid (yet). He may run laps around his opponents at VFL but has time and time again fallen short of the mark at AFL 

I do hope he gets a few more chances to prove himself though and if he's anything near the capability of Kozzy and Spargo as some say, then there is that to look forward to but i will keep my enthusiasm in check for now.

His played 2 games and almost had the same stat line as Kozzy in them two games. Go look at his practice match verse north in 2020 or his preseason game where he played 1 quarter and still kicked a goal and was solid

NGA players games on the weekend -
13 touches, 8 hitouts and a goal for Mac Andrew (pictured)

13 touches and a goal for Kobi George 

10 touches and 7 tackles for Koo Kwet-Kim

Photo up on Jeff Whites Instagram story of Kalani next to Matt Rowell and he already has Rowell covered for height. Although not a fan of the Gold Coast academy hat he has on.

17 touches, 5 marks, 5 inside 50's and 23 hitouts.

Inches closer and closer to his exciting breakout game where he clunks some big marks and kicks some goals and does it all.  What a package!

Plus a goal that Tmac took off him in the goal square

Dunno if this has been posted before, but this was our rankings for the draft (a fair bit of it covered unfortunately), as shown very brief in the To Hell & Back series. No idea if this is a week out from the draft, or months, so not sure how much movement would have occurred, but interesting to note we went against the grain with a few rankings - Noah Anderson ranked 5th, and McAsey 20th (taken pick 6 by Adelaide). 

Would say this was pretty close to the draft because I remember seeing everywhere that Jackson’s draft range jumped very late

What is LJ’s contract situation? Is he due to resign at years end? 

End of 2022 I think. Kozzy and riv signed till end of 2023 and then dogga signed till 2022

this is great from him, two defenders trying to spoil and he taps it straight to trac who kicks an easy goal. This kid will be a star

Along with 24 hitouts for Mac today in a 9 point loss for the Stingrays.

In GIF form.

 

And to anyone who thinks Kozzy shouldn’t do that he was probably just reminding him of half time

Can’t wait for him to be a top 10 pick and we have to watch him be a freak at a club like gws ?

I thought the wind was more across the ground but it definitely appears to be favouring Willy this quarter. 
 

Daw has taken 4 good marks in the backline this 1/4

Daw playing ruck and defence or just ruck and he’s pushing back?

Brown running laps so I dare say he hasn’t done anything to his knee thankfully, maybe because the conditions he’s only playing a half instead of 3/4

Thanks to hells bells and others who have made the effort to get down there today. Your updates are much appreciated.

Is Hibberd playing as far as you can tell?

Saw him on Casey’s Facebook or Instagram story so I’d say he is!

Laurie and Bowie half back. Petty, D Smith and JSmith in defence. 
 

willy get first goal.

Interesting, I knew Bowey was half back but thought we wanted Laurie mid/fwd.

Interesting no Mykelti Lefau. He was someone I thought would be a potential smokie rookie pick.

Agreed, was always exciting to watch

 18-year-old 200cm ruckman/forward Mac Andrews 

Is he 18 or 17? From what I saw online he was born in December 2003

Mac Andrews 1 month off being a 2004 baby and is 200cm, surely still has a few CM to grow still I’d imagine. Definitely one to watch 

Another east freo boy coming our way?

the boy can play

3 weeks and he misses our game?

Interesting - we know that Kade Chandler missed because he was the unused sub for the MFC game but did Oskar Baker, Jake Bowey and Harry Petty sit the day out as well?
