Return to Glory

Just had a look. Gold Coast have six picks in the first round. Six!!! Will become like the men's comp. Equalization will morph into manipulation.

Stand corrected, but don't think so Dazzle

What's the quote? 'You're not paranoid if it's true'. Lo and behold, Collingwood and Geelong appear to have improved their lot. How's Geelong's Western District expansion? Mind boggling

As long as he doesn't join the reasonably long list of people punching Maysie in the head

On first glance, very disappointed that we've lost Mornington Peninsula. Genuinely can't see what we've gained. I see that Geelong is still travelling ok.

From Shepparton United (Demonland) to Demonland!! https://www.dairynewsaustralia.com.au/sport/i-can-become-the-best-player-in-this-draft-class-riley-onley-makes-final-pitch-ahead-of-afl-natio/

No idea about Latrelle, but I do get a sense that we've drafted two blokes with a bit of mongrel and swagger. All for it.

Hibbins-Hargreaves perhaps

There's something about how this kid goes about it. Very watchable.

Kev, I devour this stuff in the off-season. So thank you mate.

Jack Steele will be significant for us. To compare him to Billings is absurd. For a starters, Steele is a leader. What has always stood out to me when watching him, was his ability to rise to the occasion. Yes, I can all the recent stats, but here's a guy with huge pride in his performance and he would have been stung by the turn of events. I'm absolutely backing him in as having a similar impact to what Jordan Lewis had at a similar time.

Yep, and the relatively new (last five or so years) phenomenon with the draft now is that everybody is an expert. Those who turned their hand to opening a boutique gin distillery have turned their attention to draft analysis for clicks. There's a hell of a lot of gun footballers past and present who weren't seen as top prospects at the time. Read Zero Hangar the other day and genuinely thought it was compiled by Ai or group think

It's a new world where everyone wins a prize. I'm thinking a final 16 and two 'most determined clubs' awards might be the ticket.

It's going to be exciting watching a newish team grow. Cannot wait. We were simply spinning our wheels this year and the year before that. Simply had to evolve.

It's hardly so very surprising
