Nascent

My long sleeve home jumper arrived today. Seems consistent with every other jumper I've owned though I wouldn't claim to have an eye for the finer details in design. 100% polyester.

Sucked me in, haven't had a long sleeve before so got one of those and decided to get the game day football I was contemplating previously. Who needs money for a wedding anyway.

Might be able to make it down to that one. Does anyone know if dogs are allowed?

Love the content @Deespicable. If I could be so bold as to put a request in. For the final top 20, could you have it counting down from 20 down to 1?

I noted that as well, if I recall correctly we were also concerned that the lions would pip us for Rivers via live trading which didn't eventuate. Perhaps brock might have been next in line as a half back recruit had rivers been taken earlier.

#21 on the back in that clip

1. Oliver 2. Petracca 3. Lever 4. Gawn 5. Salem 6. May 7. Langdon 8. Fritsch 9. Brayshaw 10. Jackson Viney unlucky Can't remember, do the finals series get included in the bnf or is it just the home and away season?

Got the signed jumpers yesterday to go with my Herald Sun premiers poster. Just have to find wall space now...

I'm just surprised they gave us a home game against the Bombers. Can't remember the last time that happened. Do they even have a clash jumper?

Ignore. Answered above.

Really interesting article. We offered 19 and 39 for Giants 15 allegedly to target Wilmot. Also interesting to note that the Bombers had Howes in the mix for their pick 13.

Same, was hoping to see a photo or video of him with the cup during one of the social media club releases.

I don't recall the comments re Sparrow but I do remember someone posted a comment allegedly from a hawks recruiter that Jordon was on a "do not draft" list for whatever reason. Might be one your thinking of or perhaps two separate pieces of intel.

42?

Just selected in the Rookie draft. https://twitter.com/melbournefc/status/1464089015347400705?s=20182cm running defender from East Freemantle.

It is confusing and I'm still not across all the rookie rules. I believe AMW can be cat-b Rookied if no bids comes through.

You're getting too caught up in the number of the picks. We will take Woewodin as our last selection (rightly or wrongly). So we either use 51 on Woewodin and be done for the night, or we gain future capital for next year and pick Woewodin up at the end of the draft. We now own 2x 3rd rounders and 2x 4th rounders for next year. Should help facilitate more trades or draft movement in 2022

Taj will be our last player selected tonight so we are turning picks we wont use into more currency to play with next year.

Jesus 58er. He's a player I liked the look of off the half back line. Nothing more. I added a profile for people to read up on him if you wish. All highlights, eastern states more so, are below average this year for the obvious. Richmond liked him at 29, we move on and now welcome Howes to the fold who the dees probably preferred anyway.

My eye is on Tassie player Sam Banks as a running half back type to add some depth to our medium defender stocks. Reportedly has excellent disposal and great athletic attributes. 187cm 73kg Profile here https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/sam-banks/ Limited highlights, first 5-10 seconds have a significant glitch in the video which should come with a seizure warning.

I still like the look of Taylor as a balanced midfielder but doubt he will be in the clubs thinking. Wonder if Howes is still a possibility?

Happy with this. A developing key forward was clearly a need with McDonald and Brown not getting any younger and question marks still remaining over Weid. Most importantly he appears to be super competitive.

So who's next? Do we target outside run/medium defenders that many predicted we would for our first pick? I would imagine we will see a lot more trading tomorrow night as clubs target specific players for limited list spots. We currently hold picks 38, 42 and 50 and likely to only use two of these. We may yet trade up or trade in a future selection save for a surprise 2nd round bid for Woewodin.
