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.

Dyson Heppel looks like a hobo.

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.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 17th November 2025
Bannon's big strength is her running game. She built her reputation burning along the wing/HF and kicked running goals where she carried the ball into the 50. Now they're playing her as a deeper forward and it has basically nullified her strengths and highlighted her weaknesses. She needs room to run in to be effective.

AFLW: SF vs Adelaide
She played FF coming back from broken ribs one year (possibly the last exhibition game?) and kicked a few. Was untouchable that game.

AFLW: SF vs Adelaide
Don't forget she's a former Demon, back before there was a league. 😅

Cameron Nairn
Is he up with the others hovering around the 6-15 range, or would he be rated a little behind them? He seems more like a second round pick that a lot of clubs are hoping drops to them. What is his point of difference over the guys likely to still be available at our picks?

Dyson Sharp
This guy has grown on me. I agree he's unlikely to get to us, and from what King has said he's not entirely what we're looking for, but he'd be a quality player for a long time. He can push forward and kick goals, so not as one-dimensional as some would have it. Not my first choice, but I certainly wouldn't be upset if we got him.

Tairon Ah-Mu - No access for Dees NGA Talent
His thighs are huge! Honestly, I'd give a rookie spot for him. See what happens with a proper fitness program.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 10th November 2025
Just getting it out there. This is Bailey Laurie's year. Openings in the midfield, less emphasis on inside ball-winners, need for skilled disposal... It's all coming up Bailey in 2026.

AFLW: QF vs Brisbane
If you ever wonder whether one person can change the course of a game, we just saw it live. One umpire, three questionable free kicks, suddenly Brisbane are winning. That needs to be looked at.

Sullivan Robey
I get it. Definitely shades of Oliver in there. He's a better kick, and transitions into an attacking threat. A hint of Tom Mitchell with those 1-2 handball chains too.

AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
That footage wasn't great. I saw six unpressured kicks go straight to the opposition or OOTF. One of those gave an uncontested mark inside the D50. He looks a bit on the slow side as well. Good mark, hard at it, but slow and questionable decision-making.

AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
For me: . Best possible outcome is trade up and draft Duursma . Best vaguely likely outcome is Robey and Grlj . More likely outcome something like Lindsay and Grlj

AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
I'd do that in a second, but WC would be mad to consider it. Remove 13 from the mix and it's closer to doable. Still doubtful given what they would be giving up.
