Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide August extra: The 15 next best - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1404621

Chesser would be a great get. Finally got his body right and looks quick and clean. Breaks lines and hits targets. Think I read Eagles have put a two year offer in front of him.

Would be very happy with Louis Emmet. Plays more as a key forward that can pinch hit in the ruck rather than a pure ruck. Think is 198 or 199cm so a great height for a fwd/ruck role. Strong grab, clean skills and competative. Cooper Duff-Tytler is the other one that's probably going in the first couple of picks. Very athletic and mobile. We won't be able to get him.

Carlton fans gonna be mad!

If we somehow ended up with a top 10 pick I'd be looking at Josh Lindsay or Jacob Farrow.

Petruccelle was delisted yesterday.

Haven't seen much of him, played in the u16s champs this year and 1 game for Dandy u18s as a 16yr old so clearly has some talent. Draft year is 2027. Just in time for us to get Mac Andrewed out of a prospect.

We probably won't but we are over allocated for rookies with our 2 ssp picks in Culley and Henderson. That brings it back down to 4. In: Sinnema, White, Derkson Leaves only one "live" pick in the draft which also prevents us from acquiring any other players via trade. Of course we can trade out contracted players to make more room and I suspect Henderson may not get another contract either.

Should have been goal of the year.

He should have been a premiership demon, AFL can be a cruel game. Well done on a great career Jayden.

With T-mac and Melksham on-board for 1 more year, our outgoings list is looking slim. Talk of Campbell getting one more year as well though that hasn't been confirmed yet. Leaves Billings, Fullartom, McVee, Spargo, Woewodin as end of year changes. Club would ideally hold onto McVee. That leaves potentially only 4 senior changes which leaves room for only 1-2 draftees and 1-2 trades. Unless we trade out a contracted player or two.

Fair effort spirit

Any word on how Felix Kneipp played @spirit of norm smith? Liked what I saw of him last year but has been injured for most of this season and just returned to the Calder team on the weekend. Looks like he picked up 20 disposals but haven't watched the game yet myself.

Haven't seen one of these for a while. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1870481/vfl-player-by-player-review-round-21-v-box-hill-hawks

Allen reportedly will request a trade to Brisbane which will likely net the Eagles band 1 compensation giving them picks 1 and 2 in the draft. Eagles co-captain set to leave as free agent after horror year - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1402058

So Collingwood are currently playing Williamstown in a close game. If I'm reading the wildcard finals fixture correctly we will play one of Richmond or Williamstown. If Collingwood wins against Williamstown we play Richmond. If Williamstown wins against Collingwood we play Williamstown.

I have. I have also seen more than enough of Sharp. All 3 shouldn't be in our plans going forward. But at least reward form and drop poor performance.

Any insights into ex-bushy player Phoenix Gothard @dazzledavey36 ? I saw he kicked 4 in the VFL finals loss today. Understand he's had some injuries thus far but seems to hit the scoreboard regularly as a small forward for the Giants. With Pickett spending more time in the midfield we could certainly use another quality small.

6 Hanks 5 Hore 4 Harris 3 Fitzsimon 2 Zanker 1 Paxman

That is quite bizarre.

Don't necessarily want to pile on Sharp but how he got 17 games while Laurie and Billings dominated VFL every week is beyond me.

Found a fairly decent website that tracks stats for the AFLW for those that are interested. Haven't done a deep dive into it yet but first glance it looks fairly comprehensive and covers stats since the inception of the league 10 years ago. https://aflwstats.com.au/
