Dee-licious

Kolt was so good defensively today. 8 scoring involvements to 6 and ran par on disposals and metres gained. He went head to head with “the best player in the afl” (he’s no Max) and walked away breaking even and dominated after quarter time. I hope this is the turning point for him. Trusted in the forward line, back line; and centre bounce. We don’t win without his efforts.

Gawn - just didn’t want to lose Roo - 6 of his best Turner huge down back Kolt was so important after quarter time Steele showed plenty in the middle Windsor look the goods

AFL touted him as a top 10 pick at the start of the year.

I can see why he’s gone in the rookie draft - I can imagine he didn’t hit the interviews out of the park the same way someone like Matthews would have. But, seems like we will know (assuming he stays healthy) very quickly if he’s around for the long hall. He doesn’t seem like a journey man - he sounds and looks like a guy who it either clicks for and he has a huge career or he is gone by 2028. here is hoping for a Brownlow 😂

Someone is dropping!!!!

I’ve been watching all the highlight videos since it looked like we were going to get early picks. I also watched a fair bit of Vic Under 18s and was not really enamoured by anyone - liked Josh Lindsay early on, then Grjl a little later, but didn’t love any of Farrow, Sharp, Cummings etc. I’d never looked at Nairn and once I saw his highlights I just thought - this is the guy. Runs all day, presents, leads, kicks straight, marks like a McGovern, and then listening to him saying he prefers being a defensive wing - he reminds me so much of Salem’s want to compete and hunt the man (but he has more speed). I would love to have his name read out next week and see a very nice 200 games at the red and the blue. (Unless Robey and CDT are available)

Speaks so well.

To be fair, the championships were pretty ordinary. The top groups has grown (a little) because the eastern boys went on a tear (Taylor x 2, Robey, Greeves, Dova) and they have all moved into first round contention and Grjs played well in the seniors. I don’t think we’ve had anyone else rise up to extend that top group. It’s still not great 😂

I think you are probably right there. I'm not sure about Sinnema at this point, I hope so as I like him, but I think that's probably on the money.

Morris has said that it’s unlikely Melbourne will deal 24, more likely a later pick. could be a pick we get for Clayton. So could look worse - Trac and Clayton for 7 and 8.

We have 4, could be 7 spots available (Trac, Oliver, Woey [OOC]) so who knows. We need to get players from somewhere and it isn’t a deep draft class. My educated guess would be train on spot in summer for a SSP position.

Seems about right at the moment. Depends how he tested in the combines.
