PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 10th December 2025
White needs to build his body up before he's considered for seniors.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 5th December 2025
I hate this. He's not a forward. They should be pushing him into the middle as a skillful inside mid. That's where he plays his best football. If they stop trying to force him into a role he's not suited to, we might actually see what he can do.

South Yarra kiosk used to do decent food, but it's been a while since I passed through.

I've been listening to The Warning and Electric Callboy lately. Both awesome bands.

How does giving Geelong and St Kilda more population compensate North Melbourne?

NEXT GENERATION ACADEMY: Rule Changes
The problem is that any move to fix the broken system will only hurt the clubs that haven't benefited from it. If they came out and said no academy picks in the first round, The Suns and Brisbane would be laughing. They have cashed in and nobody else gets the chance. Of course, the AFL have a history of doing just this, waiting until the "chosen" clubs benefit, then changing the rules to prevent others from doing the same (see Mac Andrew, or Judd's Visy contract).

Yep. Three clubs lost territory with nothing in return, being us, Hawks and Dogs. Geelong and St Kilda both got gifted extra territory without giving anything up. Gotta love the AFL's attempts at "fairness."

Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
Knowing nothing about him but the clips in this thread, I'm thinking we have a good one here. Pros: Exceptionally clean hands grabbing the loose ball Good below his knees Seems to have good judgement with his kicking Great burst of speed Cons: Dodgy kicking technique Poor handball I saw several kicks from the 50 arc drop short (see dodgy technique) Didn't see a lot of defensive work So, he looks to have the vision, but needs to clean up disposal skills to make use of it, and maybe improve his defensive efforts.

Welcome to Demonland: Thomas Matthews
Is it odd that this is the draftee I'm most excited about? He looks like he could be a genuine match-winner.

So what happens if someone calls White's name right now?

Holmes jr could be interesting, but I think NHH or Phillipou could be our best options.

Hibbins-Hargreaves Greeves. Ludowyk Who else?

And I have to say, well played to Essendon. They made a damn solid play leaving Sharp on the board.

So, Ludo for our next pick? There are still some quality players on the board.

It's just gone off-script. I'm thinking bombers take Sharp, so we get a good drop.

THE LATE MAIL by The Oracle
I'd prefer Grlj to the two listed there. I would think his pace is exactly what King wants for his game plan.
