Random Task

Think I read on the afl website that we had previously shown interest in former Gold Coast rookie Brodie McLaughlin. The suns picked him up from Frankston during 2023 ssp period.

It's been said before but they've played finals in 5 out of their past 8 seasons including winning a flag. In the 8 seasons prior to us applying for a priority pick in 2014, we won two wooden spoons (would have been 3 if it wasn't for the newly introduced GWS team), never finished higher than 12th and we went through 7 senior coaches as well as being a basket case financially. In West Coast's past 3 seasons they've won 15 games. We won 10 games in the 3 seasons from 2012-2014. We were rejected.

I suspect there will be at least one late change.

I'll be death riding them until Petty, hopefully, signs with us... just in case.

Champion. Deserves another flag.

Random pointless update 3-4 rounds in. We have... Sydney's 2nd - currently 34 St Kilda's 3rd - currently 45 Bulldogs 3rd - currently 50 Other variables in the equation may include potential compensation picks to West Coast and FA allocations. Just on FA compo, is there a risk of Zurhaar giving the roos another top 5 pick should he leave? Surely not. Edit: may as well throw in a Petty to Adelaide watch. Currently they hold pick 4.

Public service announcement. A segment on Tom Hawkins follows the Clayton Oliver piece. Viewer discretion is advised.

First and future first with our 2nd going back. Same as Lever deal. Seems fair for a key position player in his prime that can play both ends and is still contracted. Their first this year is currently pick 6. Hopefully we can change his mind.

First thoughts when looking at these jumpers.

I swear Oliver gets his hands kicked at least 4-5x per season and rarely ever gets a free for in danger.

Glad for the kid, has the talent and the skills. Just needs to adapt to AFL pace. Will have to bust a gut to get back in the team across the half forward line. Hope he makes it.

Isaac Cumming and Jack Henry would be worth looking at too.

Edti: never mind, explained by fromgotowoewodin

I always wonder how these things get out to the media without the club or May himself revealing the results. Is it not personal medical information that should be protected under law?

Ben McKay, just wow. Can't believe the roos got away with pick 3 for him. Highway robbery. Will laugh if the roos overtake essendon at the end of the year.

Early days but loving the fact they have traded out their first round pick to freo and won't get a consolation prize if their season goes completely belly up.

Banks hate this one trick.

Afl article states its their inaugural jumper they'll be playing in and makes no reference to it being a heritage only jumper. Was this clarified elsewhere? Article for reference Celebration as new Tassie logo, jumper and colours revealed - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1086666

This would have been my preference. Maybe a good alternative option.

Is there a clash/away variant of the jumper?

Just cramping allegedly.

Can save everyone the suspense. Nickname: Devils Jumper:

So sounds like Fullarton and Laurie will play in the VFL practice match and Tholstrup to be the carry over emergency. Good experience for the kid.

Correct, we have him under contract for 2025. Our preference would obviously be to retain him beyond that, however if he tells he wants a trade and will walk regardless in 2025, and crows stink it up this year and end up with a top 5 pick, do we bite the bullet for max value?
