Redleg

Also we had a lot of younger players with lighter bodies and they were brushed aside in the contest. A star player in Garner starred again, carrying her side to victory. Fantastic effort and just a real pity we didn’t beat the Lions. It would have been a great GF.

Big ask to get past a team that hasn't lost in 2 years. If we could somehow get a win today I think we would win the flag, but realistically it probably ends this afternoon.

Maybe a couple of issues to still work through, but it is moving forward and from what I hear is happening. Not the best time to get State Government assistance of course, but the community aspect is helping. Unless something blows it up, I expect the Dees to be training there in 2028. As to the announcement, that is up to the club of course to pick the best time and and AGM seems pretty suitable with a new Coach, CEO and President.

I expect a very positive announcement at the AGM. Got some info in the last 48 hours. Caulfield will happen for us.

Possibly with a retirement or long term injury, but realistically we have gone another way. Can he bat, because there are vacancies in the Aussie Cricket team?

Our list was full after Onley was taken. Unless you are talking future chances, he has missed out at this point.

So Toby missed out. Hopefully plays at Casey next season.

Apparently two. One for Kalani. Keeping one for Sinemma or someone else, after preseason or mid season.

That is funny. They are becoming the kings of the off field sledge.

Fritta certainly plays the tall forward type role and not the smaller high pressure forward role. Most of his goals come from marks or when the ball is given to him. Melk is more the hybrid, but getting slower and in his last year.

We really are turning over the list, as 4 if not 5 players, in Melk, May, Tom, TC and maybe McAdam are looking likely to finish this year and possibly more. Salem, Viney, Lever and Max are not that far behind.

As they passed on pick 4, does that mean we have two senior spots available too? Maybe a rookie to be uplifted, creating another rookie spot and keeping one senior spot for later use.

I love the Doobie Brothers and really like Steely Dan, but you are becoming the man 6.

Thanks.

Bailey in a Brisbane top?

He can simply be added as a rookie by us tomorrow, taking a bit of pressure off him to perform immediately.

Will they take 5 minutes after having 24 hours already..

Is there a phantom draft for tonight?

I admit to knowing nothing about this year’s draft potentials, but Ludowyke was a touted top 5 pick before injury. I don’t see a chance to get a big key forward ( he is 197 cms )top 5 pick type in the near future and to me this is a huge opportunity if the kid makes it. We could move Petty and maybe even AJ back, when Tom and May go next year and we could solve our key forward and key back areas with one selection. 2 first rounders next year will give us access to mids or whoever in a stronger draft. To me this is a huge opportunity. I would rather punt his type than another flanker. What do you guys who know more think?

Well I got the first one right.

As the Tigers have Smillie, Taranto, Hopper, Ralphsmith, Prestia and a few other mids who are mainly big bodied and slow, could they see Robey as being the same and look for the pacier mid. If that happened, could the Bombers take Sharp and Taylor and then Dovaston with their next pick, leaving Robey for us? I suppose it could, but it won't.

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.
