Bates Mate

I'll support and hope for the best as long as he's a demon but I'm yet to see anything that suggests he'll make it. What are his weapon/s supposed to be?

Max Heath looks a good size and not uncompetitive in the tap outs against one of the premier ruckmen in the comp

Really has that papley punchable head look. Love it

disposal also not the great. Sounds like a Luke Dunstan type

the power of the moustache is undeniable

Cuz Pickett. Has to be the nickname. Cuz and koz bring it on

Happy with this pick. He has that swagger and agro we are calling out for

Wow, Pickett x2 going to be exciting. Everyone will say it's a reach but I'm on board

JT may have pulled off a fake out and we wanted Taylor the whole time.

Our recruiters are experts in studying young talent and have a high strike rate % at the top end. They wouldn't be "fooled" by one good game. I am totally OK with whoever they pick I am every year .

we'll fix his suspect kicking action within the pre season 😅

At a quick glance , I can see 8-10 wins next year at best . Maybe a sneaky 10th spot chance :-) Finals baby!!!

Don't hate it. A weekend of footy with 2 games that have actual stakes. Could throw up some very interesting scenarios. Certainly better than "opening" round

Was great to see a group of the boys running around before the official start of training. Led by Tmac what a legend he is. Refusing to let age dictate him out of the game. I hope King plays players on merit as Tmac deserves a go and if plays to last year's standard to keep his spot . No reason this season has to be his last

Doubt he lasts until 7

Best of luck taj. Cruel to say but probably wouldn't have got much of a look in without the surname. Just that level below afl standard

I thought you could up until and even on draft night

the role that no longer exists? that started this whole thing?

this lets hope he is bombing it into 50 .or resting forward with sub 40% accuracy. the draw will be intersting they should get a tougher draw than last year but it's a fixture so who knows what the AFL will throw up. Ever chance rnd 1 (or zero or 2 or opening round or whatever the hell it is)is melbourne v GC on the GC with a blockbuster 14K people there

Thankful for the contribution and that amazing 5 year period he was elite. He kinda lost me after that comment about crowds, I didn't know why but I took it personally. We have a great core of 25k out at that are there most weeks. Sure but Collingwood level size wise but we are passionate and loud. Gc will be a while be experience for him. Enjoy no crowd, atmosphere and gc traffic!! Unless he lives near Carrara (which isn't a suburb for people like trac) he'll be in the car more than he was getting to Casey

I feel exactly the same. 24/25 it was clear 2021 strategy and players declining wasn't going to turn around

Hello darkness (phantom draft studying) my old friend

Might need to ensure the lock box on the Noosa property he will have access to "2-3" days a year is working

Amen jtr.

I'd back JT to hit on at least 2 if not all three of those
