Nascent

Sounds good, you get his signature and I'll get Max's.

Nope, we should be offering him 5 years +. Would be an excellent point of difference in our midfield.

Geelong...

Anyone watching the game able to shed light on the significance of the Lachie Neale and Zac Bailey injury as listed on the app? At work so haven't been able to watch.

I agree

If Pickett is out then Laurie most likely comes in. Some may not like it but he's clearly the next cab off the rank of the small/medium forwards. AMW being developed as a defender now. Billings may be at risk of losing his spot as well and thought Howes had a shocker until the last quarter. Will Brown pull up for next week after 2 games in 5 days? Fullarton and Schache would be the options for him if we want to keep the same structure. Tholstrup hopefully not too far off a game but unlikely to come in over the next few weeks without having a game at VFL level to push his case.

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.
