Mofra is always a good read on Big Footy: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/mofras-cynical-and-ill-thought-out-mock-draft-top-25.1337832/

Yes my understanding it's straight after DFA 1 on 10 November and before DFA 2

Cameron vs Smith In the 2022 QF Cameron kicked 3.1 from 5 disposals, 4 kicks on Hibberd. I don't think Hibbo "got torched"

I doubt Turner can play Hibberd's role, can you see him going with Charlie Cameron?

I doubt very much that Essendon will give us F1st (5-10) + 22 + 54 for 13 + 37. It's bad for them at every point.

I always thought the context of that picture depended how many reps he'd done. He was clearly trying hard and at completion.

My daughter assured me the modern term is "chonky". At 185/87 I'm not implying George is fat. He's likely muscle bound at a young age and that would give him a big advantage in U18 that may not translate.

Thanks Gorgoroth - it was educational. I liked some of it - Black Crow, Tyrants, Ave Danuvi. Suldusk is very accessible and clearly my favourite there - no surprise I guess because she's a bit of an outlier I think. I confess I didn't listen to all the songs on your list in their entirety. Outside of Suldusk, my playlists are unlikely to change, but my Spotify recommendations are likely to be interesting for a while based on the searches I did from your list. I do appreciate there's a place for the genre and if it didn't exist someone would need to make it. Cheers.

I agree with that @Slartibartfast the trade up would have to be for a specific player we target. It's possible that there may be an elite role player (this isn't necessarily an oxymoron) early in the second round. I'm thinking particularly of a Hibberd replacement for example, who is not going to go at the very pointy end but does exactly what is needed for a role. I'm thinking about Hibberd himself at PSD #4 or say Dylan Grimes at PSD #2, recruiters are smarter now and I think they might have gone earlier these days.

James Jordon to become the answer to quiz questions in future.

Still mining the ore DA. Saw the ghost of Anton LaVey down there humming along to a few of the tunes.

Brett Morgen's David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream is currently on at iMax and it is sensational. A work of art worthy of Bowie's genius:

POTT!

I think we need to finish on top so we have the opportunity obtain a home Grand Final, we don't want to be playing in Brisbane. At the end of round 9 the situation is: Brisbane: For 490 Against 183 MFC: For 440 Against 183 We broadly need to make up 50 points on Brisbane in the final round, which I think is possible. Brisbane vs Collingwood (5th) at Metricon in Brisbane on Friday night MFC vs West Coast (16th) at Casey on Saturday We'll know what the equation is when we play.

That's a pretty rubbish effort. James Harmes has already failed at HB and won't be playing there. The forward line is top heavy and there's at least one too many talls in the 22. Lachie Hunter has arrived to play on the wing and Angus Brayshaw played HB and midfield last year. Yes James Jordon is extremely unlucky not to make the best 26.

87kgs at 185cms is chonky for an 18yo - does George's size give him an advantage at U18 level that may not translate at AFL level?

Saints will Saint. Gotta love 'em!

According to Damian Barrett the plan may have been hatched on Lindsay Fox's recent birthday cruise from NYC to Montreal: https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/leaders/twiggy-lew-and-eddie-all-aboard-lindsay-fox-s-5m-birthday-cruise-20220829-p5bdn1

OK, his thread has gone off the rails, so what's one more push? I've got fairly broad taste in music from Puccini to George Strait to The Crystal Method and am always open to the adventure. Please hit me with the primer tracks for this genre you are talking about - select them like you want me to go further into the underwater cave, not quickly resurface for air ...

I like Anson Cameron's work so this could be quite a good read.

Post doesn't have enough Angus Brayshaw - without his 3rd quarter there is no flag.

Luke Jackson reaped a heap of benefits from being in the 23, like I posted earlier- playing the game, the medal, the dias, the photos, the lap of honour. He deserves all those things and he deserves an MFC ring, but I also think Jayden deserves one too because he got none of those other things but made a significant contribution to the flag. Put it this way, if I was Toby Bedford trying to make a difficult decision between an MFC offer and a GWS offer and I saw that ring segregation go down, my decision would be made - GWS where do I sign.

Needs a couple of Port players, Steve

https://www.afl.com.au/draft/draft-order Extra 2023 1st round picks: GWS (via Richmond), Melbourne (via Freo), North (via Port), Dogs (via Brisbane) All likely to be at the back half of the 2023 1st round.
