Time to test/give time to guys for the future. Start with: in: Jefferson, Laurie (give him an extended run at it) Out: Melksham, Sparrow Hoping Adams and Verrall get some games before the end of the year, and more games for Tholstrup.

6. Fritsch 5. Langford 4. Bowey 3. Howes 2. Gawn 1. Turner

Best game for the club today I think. He’s put a couple of good ones together.

Ins: Viney and Jefferson Outs: Melksham (managed) and JVR

Agree, they need to be full-time and solely focused on umpiring as a job. It’s a billion dollar industry. It’s also a very difficult game to umpire, so give them the best opportunity to succeed.

6 - May 5 - Oliver 4 - Turner 3 - Langdon 2 - Gawn 1 - Pickett Thought May was easily our best. Also thought Howe was BOG by an absolute mile so what would I know!?!?

What a name Malakai Champion is….welcome Ricky!

I thought we had one spot after elevating Melksham to the senior list?

Didn’t make the AA squad, quite unbelievable.

Good call, although they’d still have the capital to go after 2 as well, maybe using 5 or 6. Three picks in the top 6 potentially.

Would there be any possibility we would split this pick if the price was right? Say to Richmond for 10, 11 and 24. The first pick of the second round is always valuable, we could use it to build points for next year if we are confident in getting White as F/S, or take the pick if someone falls in the order. Still have 3 first rounders in this scenario.

Unlikely I reckon. From next year fourth rounder picks are worth zero draft points.

Surprised with Lachie Gollant, thought he actually looked alright and showed some potential.

Welcome Tom. Basically admitting that we stuffed up last year, but now have a 2nd ruck who would be able to fill in if needed and gives another year to assess Verrall.

This.

Great question, one would hope not and we had an in-principle deal with the Crows for Nibbler. Hard to have faith at the minute.

Probably the right call if there are behavioural issues that are ongoing, and we aren’t going to get much trade capital if they are paying his wage, but just another public/member relations nightmare.Terrible management.

Impossible. Crazy decision to have such a compressed fixture and not expand list sizes.
