A talk marking forward would be nice Simon. -
one of those is Max Knobel. Suns picked him up after Freo delisted him and promised they would pick him back up...but the Suns swooped. A gippsland boy I believe ... Press reports etc seemed to,indicate he may have something about him. We had an opportunity to pick him up but went elsewhere. I am interested to see how he goes.

Difficult to know what the plan is for Fullarton without talking to the footy department in my opinion. I believe he was recruited as a tall forward to pinch hit in the ruck, but last season for Casey, he played a lot of time in the ruck. Casey was a bit of a basket case through injuries etc so difficult to judge his qualities. He struggled a bit in the ruck against bigger, older bodies but did some good things around the ground without being dominant (in the games I saw). With Campbell helping out in the ruck at Casey this year, I would hope to see him play more time as a forward, to see how he goes. Too early to tell on him, given last year's circumstances in my opinion..

It appears it IS ok to draft another clubs delisted player (given they intend to redraft as a rookie)..as Gold Coast picked up Knobel from Freo. I would love to know if we looked at/rated him as a future player. I guess not, since we didn't strategise to get him. Looked a good opportunity and good fit to me, especially as a rookie ruck to learn under Gawn and Campbell for a couple of years.

I was hoping to try and get Max Knobel as a future ruck prospect. I'm not sure we have the space now...and I'm not sure if swooping to get delisted players is the 'done thing' to clubs that have delisted players with an intent to re-draft them as a rookie.

North Melbourne at pick 2 .....waiting almost 5 mins ..is this a directive from AFL to slow it all down. ?
-
Took them 4 minutes to choose number 1...

AFL website now says that Max Knobel has been delisted by Freo, with a promise to redraft. He is a 206cm 20 year old ruckman from Gippsland. Maybe there is an unwritten rule re the delisting and redrafting of players but they took a ruck from us.... I'm not sure Verrall has the height to be a number 1 ruck in the future.

I believe underwood has a list of football commentating cliches that she inserts every game....regardless of the situation. Ticks them off as she goes along and inserts them whenever, regardless whether they are appropriate.
-
My belief was that he was originally signed as a forward with possible short stints in the ruck. The delivery into the forward line at Casey was very average, not helped by a long injury list and an extended time in ruck where he struggled at times against heavier opposition. I would like to see him more as a forward this season. Maybe they played him in the ruck more last season as a learning experience. I am still hopeful he will have something to offer.

Max knobel will reportedly be delisted by Freo and picked up as a rookie. He had previously been mentioned on some posts....is he worth a look ? Only just 20 and 206 cm. Played at Gippsland as a junior. He didn't do too much this year and last, but is only 20.

from what I can see, all resrved seating attracts the mandatory grand final ticket tax. there doesnt seem to be a way to get just the seat. My reserved seats for myself, and two children (18 and 15) cost $1500.00, not cheap.
