There’s always a positive

If they want him it just means posturing and holding your nerve to the last day of trade period. Keeping the Crows and Suns involved is a benefit

It doesn’t matter what the crows want, they need a big bodied mid who can create score assists while moving forward. If they want him Soligo will become surplus to requirements. Their window is open and they are missing a bull. We”ll ask for Thilthorpe or Rankine, they’ll say no and that’s how trade talks start, if they haven’t already

They’re both Subiaco boys, Kolt from their regional zone and Luka from their metro zone. Both part of their 2005 crop so with development, Futures and Colts added to WA squads they have a fair history together

Spoke to him last Wednesday he’s just bought a house near Unley, seems well settled and he mentioned the Trac whisper's

He’d be a good get and replacement for Judd, improving our ball movement off halfback. He’s highly rated by Freo and not sure they’ll let him go, they will also likely be chasing Bobby Hill

Yes I keep forgetting the academy picks I suspect 25-30 for him

2 deep who are they? Duff-Tyler, Duursma, Sharpe and Marsh can all play. There’s others showing form late as happens every year and moving up the boards. There may not be the depth of other drafts but there’s still good players in there and there will be late gems unearthed

I really like him but think may have been sore in the back end, played some senior footy but still showed some real class with ball in hand

Decent bunch from WA Spawton-Guy developing tall fwd who can pinch hit in ruck, takes good contested marks, forward awareness with leading patterns and reading flight also a nice competitive edge Stirling- intercept key defender reads the play well and had a good season in underperforming side Lecras- son of Brett, a footballer with good goal sense and footy smarts, question marks on pace but personally see him developing long term into a big bodied mid Van Rooyen- developing ruck who has flourished since champs, improved his ground ball game and cleaner with hands for a tall in congestion. Having much greater impact around the ground and developing his ruck craft. Strong finish to the season with big finals campaign and a Premiership Gale - son of mark, classy half back/outside mid. Clean skills, composure and footy smarts. Moves well through traffic and decision making is good. See him long term as rebounding half back who is prepared to take game on and hurt opposition with foot skills Mellody - this kid is a star in the making, can play across all lines, clean skills at ground level, game sense and composure around stoppages and vision to make something out of nothing I haven’t seen in a while. One of those players who can turn defence into attack with penetrating kick and impact scoreboard off halfback. I expect him to climb the draft order in next 12 months Robinson - big bodied mid who knows how to find footy and uses it well in tight. Impacts scoreboard and around the ground. Impacts stoppages and wins clearances with brutal attacks on the footy. Disposal by foot needs work

I reckon he’ll slip to mid second round

WAFL Colts Grand Final this Sunday South Fremantle vs Claremont Some Draft prospects for this and next year on the Big Stage South Fremantle Whan -25 Half back/mid Rodrigues-25 mid Robison-26 mid Foster- 26 Ruck Wilson-26 med def Claremont Curtin-25 Tall Fwd Hopkins-25 overager defender C.Banfield -25 mid/fwd Van Rooyen-26 Ruck Gale-26 Half back/wing/mid H.Banfield-26 mid/fwd Braun-26 wing Mellody-26 half back Should be a good contest

Think you nailed it with his ability to defend stoppage, holds position and moves offensively when the time is right. I like getting him in for midfield balance. Personally think he’s got plenty as a midfielder in terms of tank, shut down and hurt the other way simultaneously which is very underrated At the right price a yes

He’s back training getting himself ready for 2026, which I think will see him if not taken prior will see a club take him next year. Has pace, game sense, good overhead mark and can play the big bodied mid roll. I’d take him in a heartbeat

No, not related at all fwd/mid only moved to Perth from Broome this year.

Jay Hill is a player a few clubs are interested in. Hasn’t played all season but had scouts all over him after BOG performance in the Colts super round in pre season. Had a PCL injury I think it was

He’s not outstanding but think he’ll be a decent without being a great player. Farrow is the most dangerous by foot of all the WA boys, with Swadling the one who knows how to find it, but he lacks the ability to defend. 2026 and 2027 will be better drafts from WA

People in the know will tell you the success Harvey had at Freo was very much down to Chris Scott

I think he’s a decent player big bodied mid strong tank and can use the ball well both feet, no real X factor but IMO will play a lot of footy at the next level. South Freo have a very strong senior side, which he hasn’t been able to break into

Dyson Sharp to me looks the one I would take first round if we could clean, good skills and vision. Really like what Ihave seen

Why wouldn’t we,think about it did Gawn and Jackson work well together As great as he’s been the end for Gawn is coming sooner rather than later

Yes my thoughts exactly

Freo are still playing and Jackson back to Melbourne is still doing the rounds with Judd involved in some way. Can’t see it myself but bubbling away under the surface

Bulldogs desperate for experienced defender. Get on the phone and make it happen.

They brought their Fn toys
