whatwhat say what

'never' is forever - i would assume he hasn't come in yet cos he's learning a new role he's been significantly more impactful playing as a back than he ever was as a forward

cool, i'll take day and moore and their first round pick

good; looked fake as and i was 150m away (i'll take the free)

yeah i'm anti redeploying our best - only? - lockdown defender into the middle although bringing in amw would free it up to try but...my preference is not

first season playing as a defender and he's coming along okay if we didn't have a surfeit of players of a similar shape / size for defensive spots - mcvee, salem, rivers, bowey - then he may have got a look in the last few weeks personally i'd be bringing him in for bowey this week, who i thought was below average last nite and has been for some time now

don't think second and third round draft picks are particularly valuable

no - think of this year as jvr's first year; let him develop and gain fitness and exposure in vfl before a big preseason in the gym and he should hit the ground running in 2025 based on the casey game i personally would drop bowey for moniz-wakefield, but otherwise it should just be lever for tomlinson as the only change

north hold on to win by a goal lots to like about jefferson, moniz-wakefield, and to a lesser extent adams with some good marks fullarton and verrall cameos billings, laurie, mcadam offered nothing while presume woey 2.0 was injured as he wasn't sighted - at least not by me - after half time

that one to deny windsor the equaliser was bizarre

great goal eddie king and it's back to 6 points the diff mitch white limping off tho

or send him back if tomlinson is in the afl, adams is the only real tall down there

edwards - hold yr feet hanson jr runs into goal for his 4th

fullarton at chf >>> fullarton in the ruck

unbelievable that north have duursma and mckercher to add to their class ball users going forward they're going to be very, very good in a couple of years

some great ball movement sees white roll it thru from 50 2 points the diff

great start with fullarton (not jefferson!) goaling after 30 seconds

funny thing is - i mean el jefe! 🤣 he's too skinny for afl and fullarton is not good enough for afl brown's skinniness is not an issue cos he's about 20cm shorter, not a key position player, and plays with a ragged intensity reminiscent of well, his dad

got yr eyes open? jefferson is skinny as it gets for a key forward nowhere near ready for afl yet - big pre-season in the gym required

laurie you absolute dumbo

he'd be broken like a twig needs a massive pre-season before launching into 2025

el jefe threads it from the boundary keep developing kid...

matt 'sticky fingers' jefferson 10 kg of muscle in the legs away...

our list wasn't great in 2021; our best 23 was a dominant premiership side everything went our way - form, fitness, and perhaps most under acknowledged was that hub life suited our player demographic 2022 and 2023 we were super unlucky both years with form tapering and fitness concerns afl is becoming more and more like the nba - anyone can win it any year; four different premiers in four years in the afl vs six in six in the nba it's ideal from the competition standpoint

schache drops a bullet pass from amw, then redeems himself with the big htb tackle and fails to make the distance from 50 gotta be his last year on the list

kentfield looks a big lad for 19
