My money is on them changing the Father-Son rules to prevent us getting access to any of the kids coming through in the next few years.

6 - Rivers 5 - Viney 4 - May 3 - Gawn 2 - Salem 1 - Sparrow Honourable mention to K. Brown. His first stat in the seniors was a goal-saving run-down tackle to preserve our three point lead. You couldn't script it better for that kid.

From the limited footage I've seen, Harley Reid is well and truly top of the class. He already looks like one of the best mids they have over there.

OK, I just need to highlight the Gawn Game tonight. His stats are insane. The guy is a legend.

Sam has concrete hands. For someone whose game is meant to be built on contested marks, that is a fatal flaw. It's not necessarily a lack of effort, but the ball bounces off his hands every time he tries to take a grab. If he can't mark the ball, he has nothing else to offer.

You remember Jarrod Molloy at Brisbane? They kept him a bit on the heavy side so he'd be more of a beast in tight spaces and harder to bring down. When he went to the Pies and dropped the extra weight he was half the player. Have to say, I think that was the best game I've seen all year. Scores level at half time, multiple lead changes, a massive arm wrestle for dominance between two very different game styles. It had everything. And of course, the right team won. I can't believe how quickly Windsor is adapting to the top level. So very happy we have him in the side. I'm hoping we'll all be equally impressed with the Kolt when he gets his chance.

Can Maynard write?

I can't believe how much they continue to underrate Juddy.

Good reel. Looks to have real pace and a good jump. I also like how he picked up the ground ball at 23 seconds. He didn't lead with his face like so many do looking for the cheap free kick.

I'd love to see Sanders on our list, even if there's every chance he'll be gifted to Tasmania in a few years. He's absolute quality and makes the players around him look better.

Everything below pick 74 has a value of 0 points. Since point matching is required, if someone were to pull shenanigans like that we would be required to match a bid of 0 points. But would we then be using a main list or rookie list spot on him?

That was a damn good game. We finally get a grand final that's an even contest and goes down to the last minute. It just sucks that it was those teams that gave it to us.

So, it might actually happen. 😁

Honestly, I'd be happy enough to see him come in as depth, but he's not worth chasing from what I can see. A late bloomer, mediocre averages in most areas and kicks a little under two goals a game. At 28 he's not likely to improve much on his existing numbers. Will he be good enough to win a regular spot in our side?

Well, since he isn't a coach and the issues are in the coaches box rather than with the players, I think we can agree on that. He's already happily jumping into packs at Casey. He's not going to break any games open next year, but he'll see game time and in a few years he and JVR will be looking pretty good.
