Random Task

Where will his statue be placed?

Any word on Xavier Lindsay yet?

I have a couple issues with this post. A player that has had chances at afl level and find themselves in the VFL shouldn't be written off. We wouldn't be doing it with JvR (who's played 4x the amount of games Laurie has). Players develop their games at different rates and Laurie has been putting consistent solid football in the twos. There seems to be an ongoing myth that Laurie is this 50+ gamer that's been around for 8years. He's played 11 games in 4 years (now into yr 5). 6 of those games were as starting sub. So only 5 starts in those games. He has never played more than 2 games in a row. Compare that to Sharp who has played 10 games already for us, Tholstrup 20, Woewodin 21. Laurie is playing far better footy in near identical roles, mid/half forward rotation, and is a far better user of the footy. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Laurie is a star in waiting and I actually like Brown as a developing player. But in my view Laurie is by far more deserving of a spot in the current 22 by recent standards.

Would think Laurie gets a crack at the seniors before Brown, been far better at Casey and uses the ball better. Tackle numbers similar.

6, Oliver 5, Melksham 4, Gawn 3, Rivers 2, Bowey 1, Turner Apologies to Trac, Langdon, Lindsay and others.

Eagles may chalk up their first win of the season over the Saints.

Sharp for Viney would just about do it. Spargo probably gets a reprieve with the dees win but first half wasn't great. Fritsch to start now as long as he keeps bringing that intensity. Edit: forgot Lever, will he need another run at Casey? If not it will probably mean Turner forward and Johnson out.

Now that's a game I'll watch happily again. What an effort from the boys. Was worried about our mental capacity to see the game out given our recent history but we've pushed through and won that last quarter convincingly. 4 goals 8 vs 1 goal 1.

I would imagine it would be the same position as Kalani White is in this year. Can choose either.

Upon doing some research, it appears that U16 f/s prospects Oliver Green and Tex Robertson will be eligible to be drafted by the Tassie Devils under "father/son" rules which only require there parents to be from Tasmania and have played 100 games. Their draft year is 2028, one year after the Devils currently planned introduction.

Had a very good first half, took several marks and lead up at the ball. Took a couple shots around the 50metre arc. Didn't do much in the second half but neither did the rest of the team really.

You're not joking but I think they are.

Apologies if this has already been posted but both Amartey (3 weeks) and McInerney (1 week) have been suspended and will miss our game next week unless successful on appeal.

Too many reactive flat-footed players getting burnt on turnover and the less said about our kicking skills the better. Thought Woewodin, Brown and Adams were our best and Jefferson could have had a reasonable game if he had of converted his chances. Disappointed with Tholstrups performance after being dropped. Should probably play him through the midfield more to get him around the ball. Think we should try JvR in defence, looked good in his U18s level as a defender and has the tools to play there.

Different Oliver Green, played for Sandy dragons last year if I'm not mistaken. Brads son is only 14 or 15.
