The Jackson FIX

Will we shout ‘Nairny’ or ‘Nanna’ though?

It was a rhetorical question, I’m familiar with Cal’s articles and the sequence of the leading into the draft. Often if he thinks clubs are sniffing around a bolter (eg Robey) the player shoots up in his rankings so I was more scratching my head why Nairn was still outside top 20

Why would his view on their abilities change between October and November?? Surely there is an overlay of where he thinks they will land

Have Nairn and Sam Cumming joined the boys at training yet?

He had Nairn at 25 and said Dees are considering him with their top 10s and if he doesn’t go there Giants and Hawks would consider him in the teens… so why is he at 25 then?

Don’t mind the idea. Just not sure what he is like defensively and then what you would do with Salem if Bill slots in there. Has been pigeon-holed in the high HF/connector role in Goody’s game plan - a tough position (only one player has thrived there).

May appeared to be in Vietnam (with a few blokes I didn’t recognise) judging by his Instagram a couple of days ago

Stephen Tingay arms too

Lots of Trent Rivers suggestions. First step for him is making the step up to the midfield and proving he can play there. His 2025 was ordinary, albeit I recognise the plan changed late for him to move back.

Whilst loved, he is introverted and a past player has told me that Kosi and the indigenous boys largely kept to themselves at the club (at the time this guy was playing anyway). Big jump to go from that to captain of the entire playing group.

Was he a regular firsts player by year-end in the SANFL?

Seems like the general consensus is we’re on the fence with this idea?

That surely doesn’t say Steven Smith. He’s having us on.

Last one reached retirement age so needed to replace

Do we have the points to draft Liam’s possible son?

Lindsay seems to be sliding down the order in these phantom drafts. Is the knock on him he just doesn’t get enough of it?

And the ability /engines of their half backs to get up the ground and back quickly

Has X @ 183cm… he seems taller than that.

A) didn’t play enough games to qualify B) unsure if he even has a son, let alone a son who has potential. This thread really doesn’t need to exist.

Increasingly clear that our flag was built on the fortune of being able to lock that lot up and control their world for a season.

Moves more like Cripps to me.

The moaning on this thread is impressive, even for DL standards!

The first clearance in that vid 😬 Read somewhere that when asked who he thinks should go #1 in the draft he answered ‘me’. I think his brother said something similar in his draft year

Would be genuinely surprised if an AFL recruiter told a VIC metro player to ‘keep quiet’ ahead of his draft year with the aim of not climbing up the draft board. Unless said in jest, that just wouldn’t happen.

If the account of the Steven May meeting is accurate, I have a new found admiration for him.
