Might not be worth anything if the AFL change the rules which is on the cards.

Was just about to post this, he needs to find the ball a lot more.

Darcy Moore is Peter Moores son and Collingwood f/s. Waterman is WC.

The list is already out of date at least one player already retired and one at another club on first glance.

I thought he should have, it looked a deliberate kick to me and he got off lightly.

'Ben', do you know if the stats included his senior year in the SANFL when he featured in the finals. It would be interesting to get the figures for that year. His last year at the carnival he was injured and didn't have as good a senior year as it was interrupted. He was highly regarded by Jack Viney from all reports and Jack had played footy with him in SA. I couldn't imagine Jack being a rap for someone who didn't get his own ball nor could I imagine Todd picking him.

Agree 'dazzle', they have recruited very well over the last couple of years and are well set up going forward. The cards have fallen their way with Grundy and Sharenberg, players they should never have had access to. The question now is can Buckley coach? I wouldn't be so quick to write him off as others on here have.

That's right because it was in the rules at the time, he wasn't going outside the rules. Don't remember any of these guys taking out a team mate off the ground, also would think they were just a little better at the game than Brown.

Agree…and he seems like the type of kid that will work hard to get it done.

Thanks 'Sat', he looks to be naturally quite broad across the shoulders and unlike a lot of the skinny kids of the past could be a pretty strong unit going forward. Be interested to watch his development this year.

By the look of the pix Barry has put on a bit more weight. Can anyone who's been to training confirm that?

I'm thinking none of us has spent the last few years working full-time in recruiting and I like what the club has done over this whole trade draft period and there's no reason to think they got it wrong here. Time will tell.

Not convinced by Sully, the only game I've seen him in was the GF and he was soundly beaten and showed nothing that would have him any better than Gillies as a player.

Hope it's a good one for you and your family 'Pennant', and thanks for posting info on the WA prospects. Much appreciated.

I liked it... but then again I loved Groucho.

They chose Scharenberg, it had nothing to do with Brisbane. Both were on the table at their pick. Not sure what you are getting at here.

Rioli spends time in the centre bounce and from memory started the game there, Ballantyne had a shocker. It's not just mid time now its the ability to push right up the ground like Motlop and the Cats forwards do…but we've had these arguments before on the small forward, my opinion is they are on the way out at least at Melbourne under Roos and for good reason.

Agree 'Ben'. Will be interesting to watch his progress this year. He almost operates as a 3rd tall.

Nup, a small forward is a waste of space if that's all he does but we've been through this argument a number of times. JKH wouldn't have been picked up by us if that's all he offered.

Agree, and he has a couple of mates at the Cats.

Nup, they need to be well rounded otherwise not worth….

Correct!

I wouldn't think so, but if he does it's an amazing story.

I've thought this too with a lot of 200cm forwards coming into the game. We need a big defender so it will be interesting to watch training and see how Fitz is being developed, he may well end up at CHB. It's certainly an option.

By getting in early he will also get the extra development from an AFL program that Smith and Towers didn't get. It will be interesting to see what happens with Hunt in the next couple of years.
