Nascent

Carlton v West Coast Five and a half minutes in and Carlton are 26 points to 0 and have had 43 possessions to 8. 186 challenger on the cards?

Good chance to watch potential recruit Zane Duursma in action again for Casey.

Allies dominate U18 All-Australian team after unbeaten carnival - Kynan Brown not named.

It's spelt KFC.

Hard to see West Coast giving him up since he's contracted for another 2 years and young enough to build a team around. Would be amazing get though.

We should be in the conversation but Roos and Hawks will no doubt make good offers as well.

They didn't get Jack Viney. Thank God for that as well as @Jaded No More and @rpfc would have probably had a stroke.

Rampe cleared by the tribunal and is free to take on Freo this weekend. Good boost for Sydney, and us.

Videos been removed, wonder if someone has realised the mistake and will upload again with the correct graphic.

Shame, I think the kid has something. If he secures a trade I'll watch his career with interest.

I can't see it either, but the afl keep it secret and the cynic in me says they will manipulate the system and dress it up the compensation anyway they want. You're probably right though in Sanders/Callinan being the main draft assistance if that were to eventuate. In that case hopefully FA compo will remain true to contract value.

So North may end up with pick 2, 3 (mckay compensation) and Sanders, who is easily a top 10 pick. Jack Callinan also falls under their NGA and would be another free hit. They're doing well out of that.

As it stands Out: Jackson, 44 (via bedford), 67 In: Jefferson, 4, 23

Meanwhile, freo trying to get their season going...

Tigers look far from convincing against West Coast. Perhaps hawks are a sneaky chance next week?

Would love nothing more than freo falling to 16th. Somewhat poetic justice given Jackson himself was pick 3. If Hawks can get over the Tigers next week I'll dare to dream.

That's a fair ask being two games down and a 12% difference. Freo also to play West Coast. Would have to win 4 out of the last 6 and freo just 1 out of 6.

I'd feel bad for them, but then I realised it's hilarious and [censored] hawthorn.

Yes Ashcroft will be in the conversation as well. It's O'Sullivan for me at this stage though. What he was doing last week against the Allies was freakish.

Jagga Smith and Finn O'Sullivan fighting for the early #1 mantle for next year. Smillie has got good wraps on him but not as prolific as those two.

The way I see it its; 1. Reid 2. Walter 3. McKercher Would love him if available but I think we will have to give strong consideration to Watson. Him and Kozzie in the fwd 50 would be a nightmare for opposition.

Perfect set of results for us this week. Freo vs Sydney next week huge for our pick 4 prospects.

Funny, reality is that he's religious and enjoys a red.

Carltons going to replace the saints in the top 8 by the end of the h&a season.
