Hey … let’s not forget the clubs that are involved in this scenario. Gold Coast and Geelong. Deal’s almost done. Cats to get GC’s first round pick along with King. GC gets Cats future third round pick as steak knives in the deal.

There’s nothing in that article suggesting that Ladhams will not play on Sunday.

The Hawks already have one hand on the #1 draft pick after last week’s disaster. Probably will continue that way throughout the season.

6. Max Gawn 5. Christian Petracca 4. Kysaiah Pickett 3. Jake Lever 2. Clayton Oliver 1. Trent Rivers

Meanwhile, Casey’s Twitter site still stuck at quarter time in the Richmond game.

Not wanting to put the mozz on anyone but a vacancy can arise if a player is put on a long term injury list. Hoping that we don’t need to go to the mid season draft.

Seems to me that it’s been a strange process this year with the club not showing a great amount of appetite to find someone young who might have just missed out on the drafts in November. Perhaps it was that their hand was forced by selecting Oliver Sestan in the rookie draft?

Where’s Picket Fence?

Today’s Age:- “Zac Williams and Mitch McGovern have impressed.”

Yay. It’s Yea!!!!

There’s still a possibility that another Dandenong Stingrays gun, Mitch Szybkowski, could end up at Casey. He’s been training for one of a supplemental selection spot at Essendon but he has some competition for a place there. The Bombers also have Oakleigh Chargers ruckman Hudson O'Keeffe and East Fremantle’s Jack Cleaver as well as former Magpie and Hawk midfielder Tom Phillips trying out for one spot.

At this point in time there seems to be no reason why the club would be chasing him. We have Gawn, Grundy and Schache as well as Verrall and Farris-White in development.

Jack Bell was pretty much a regular last year and another promising ruckman Josh Smith had a couple of games before injured. Players of that ilk can fill in if needed.

Suspended by the Suns poor bloke. Suns ban youngster after drink-driving charge

Tigers have one vacancy like us but the article quoted by WJ says they have three players training with them for that spot.

Strange story this - given TMac looked like he was pretty well right already just before Xmas. Melbourne veteran Tom McDonald closes on full fitness

Whilst it might not be our problem, there’s still a connection because Mac Andrew’s younger brother Riak is a member of our Next Generation Academy. While the rules make it hard for us to recruit a player like him (unless he turns out to be outside the best 40 prospects) I think his lovely family who were so excited about Mac’s recruitment on 2021 Draft Night might not be so thrilled about another son moving interstate to play his football. We could still turn this into a plus for us.

No problem with finding a nickname. If Daniel Turner is “Disco” then Kye Turner is “Hip Hop”.

Going a bit early, aren’t we?

Yes, here’s the Training Gallery | December 9

If I was JvR, I’d be booking an appointment with Ashley & Martin very shortly.

At this rate, by Wednesday, he'll be more ripped than Trac.

The Pre-season Supplemental Selection is for a rookie and your last list position. Isn’t it better to get the best quality player for your list where your future wants are. Another versatile defender who could move into the midfield would be terrific.

Why? If they take him, it might leave another player in line for selection who we could prefer.
