Pennant St Dee

Petty, Oliver, Fritsch and Sparrow all need good years and if they do and our regular players stay on the park we will go well. Jefferson and the new boys just need a bit of exposure and opportunity to develop under the more experienced players

I would imagine Simon would remain in Perth, his boy Sonny heading in to Yr 11 and settled in school. Be surprised if he moved

Took longer then I expected but the Genius that is “Chris from Camberwell” finally called Dwayne to ask why Melbourne wouldn’t consider Longmire

We drafted our Premiership Captain that’s how I look at it, yes we made some errors but we aren’t Robinson Crusoe there

I’m putting Cody Curtin in that group by seasons end, upside of this kid is huge

Love reading this, it is absolutely the small things, which become habit that create discipline and everyone understanding and maintaining minimum standards

I believe so, Gaff had great endurance to repeatedly get involved in transition chains but I don’t believe he had the capability by acceleration or penetration/depth of kicking to break lines or be really damaging

Gaff never had penetration in his kick

Welcome aboard the Dee train Xavier. 2 skilled left footers in 1 night

Welcome aboard the Dee train Harvey/Langers Happy with this outcome

Mail is Richmond super tight lipped on Pick 1 LALOR/SMITH. If SMITH goes 1 it changes a lot IMO

Rumour from a local footy person in WA, Richmond may be prepared to pounce at 6 Validity is not totally known but he does have contacts in clubland. said to him I believe Tigers may be putting that out there to maybe force our hand at 5, which I don’t think will happen 1 more sleep to go

Yes I agree you just back yourselves to have a program where they buy in

Yes I do, but if we take him hoping his GF relocates and he gets a clean run at it and settles in well with the group forming a decent bond

Not related

He would be wrapped he is a big Pies fan

The Ashcrofts

Bring him down to the G for Anzac Eve and Kings Birthday, big crowds marquee games which you won’t get at Metricon

Size is not an issue for Luka, he’s naturally big and aggressive. If he can build endurance for repeat efforts we have something

Moving up in the draft to take Oliver Taking a small underrrated forward well before he was anticipated to be picked Kozzie Taking a punt on an athletic hybrid in Jackson Not offloading Goodwin after 2019/2020 Not panicking when 42 points down at Kardinya Park in Rd 22 2021 How utterly Melbourne people see what they want to see and we clearly know what you want but hey you played u19s and coached

Yes younger brother, was basketball focused up till the 24 season and had a huge impact. Quicker and more athletic than Dan, not as composed but really difficult key forward to match up on and that really good closing speed as a key defender

Going early but I expect Cody Curtin to be around the top 10 probably pushing top 5 by season’s end and heading into the draft

Listened to the interview and thought the same, 6ft 7inch so taller then Jeff, good high jumper so if he has dads leap at that size a decent bit to work with

On a serious note he has a lot of talent but needs to managed in the right way in terms of his defensive efforts inside F50

Yes I know Riddler quite well, actually spoke to him on Friday night, absolute ripper of a kid genuinely nice person who is very coachable and still learning the forward craft to be more of a fwd ruck then the other way around. Has very nice soft hands at the tap, good at ground level and with his second efforts. One thing I would love to see improve is a bit more hardness
