And there you have it.

Well if we are offering GCF1 2026 and 37 this year, to get into first round this year, then next year must be weaker than they are all saying, or we think we can get someone who will be a better selection than GCF1 next year. If this year is weaker, why wouldn't that offer be grabbed by another club?

Even better.

Then I would be thrilled if we get him. I was hoping for Rivers the whole 2nd day of his draft. I remember where I was when he was drafted, standing outside a shop in Palm Cove, while my wife was inside spending. I yelled when we selected Trent and she ran out of the shop thinking something was wrong and when I explained I got told off, not unusually. If we draft another Rivers that would be great.

Still expect an announcement update at AGM.

Not that I know anything about this draft, but Cal is predicting Freo taking tall forward Schubert and with their 3 tall forwards, plus the 2 ruckmen who rest forward, that just seems highly unlikely.

Ricky Mentha seems to have bulked up a bit.

Whoops!

Me too.

Anyone can nominate for the draft. It's probably a talking point among mates. Actually I might nominate next year. Then I can tell my grandkids I am nominated.

Last two finals 8-9 goals from frees to our opponents to nil to us. Pretty unusual.

That’s two finals in a row where Umpires have absolutely, incorrectly, gifted our opponents multiple goals to turn the game. Even commentators agree. What the f is going on. Pearce belted in the head, not the bruise one and totally ignored.

Recruiting is an opinion based role and not one AFL recruiter gets it right every time. Luck, development, opportunity, injury, game style and a host of other factors come into it and no one can predict all of them ahead of time. Star juniors may not make it and yet others not as good early on do. The good recruiters nail most of their early draft picks and some of the later ones. That is about the best you can hope for. Now to the $64 question, who do we take, I wouldn’t have a clue and only 4 more sleeps until I find out.

I saw someone walking around with a barbecue starter, behind the southern goal posts at Goschs during training, so we are not far away.

I wonder if clubs leak info, to induce other clubs to perhaps change direction slightly and therefore have another option available at their pick. Then again, maybe recruiting has become too sophisticated for that. Would a club take a player just because another club wanted to, probably not. Asked and answered.

Certainly hope so.

"On" would be the operative word, as opposed to standing 20 metres away from him.

Brilliant, is that you? Are you an old muso?

Well done 6 and enjoy the retirement, spent mainly at Dees training. Adams looks taller. XL looks stronger. Would like to see Jeffo put on some more upper body muscle. Culley is a big mid. Rookie Berry nice size.

2027 is 2 years away, but sounds an interesting kid to follow until then. Might have another F/S or two as well that year.

Can’t see that. When he was drafted he was a bit roly poly, but has really trimmed down. This will be his year to make it or not, similar to probably Jeffo, AJ and Henderson .

Panic not ye of little faith.

I don’t know.

I am now led to believe we are discussing the previous site, located on the South Eastern corner of the racecourse, close to where the ovals are hoped to be installed and very close to Glenhuntly Station. That is the area near the corner of Neerim Road and Queens Avenue. I did a very rough map measure, which I am sure is wrong, but I got about 260000 square feet or more, which is plenty of room for what we want. The Club is still working on a couple of issues, which are not insurmountable, so I look forward to the official update. We have all been very patient with this project and hopefully there is some good news soon.
