Bates Mate

Rivers, Melk , latrelle, culley, tmac for mine.

thursday and friday look like total fizzers. The only interest in Thursday is if the tigers can get a win and push the blues to further implode and be in crisis after 2 games. Hawks will destroy the bombres .Port v North and Suns v eagles stinkers in there as well for a league that fixes the fixture round one is a bit meh!

who gives a flying fig. Cornes doesn't get it . Longer contracts - 1. lock in Gun players to your club 2. help you manage your salary cap 3. Give you more leverage in a trade. Yes the risk is the player drops off and looses some value but this is a case Kossie signed a long term contract at 23 years old. A much lower risk profile than many of the long term deals that have been signed

And got a flag, so the tactics were spot on for paying against a young team

Good article, bloke has toiled away working his backside of for the chance. Won't waste it through lack of trying .

So as good as 4 of the all time great forwards and pedo But shorter. He's 181cm.

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
