Any news on Lindsay knee??

Basic skill errors. Looked a rabble. Nedd huge 2nd q lift.

We have a 2nd rounder which will blow out and Toby Sinnema and very likely Kalani White. With Academy and Father sons compromising the draft we picks for those 2 will fall back. We do not know how they will shape up this year - hopefully good. We will have to trade picks in or maybe a player or 2 will want to be traded out?

Not worried about the votes. Was that a breakout game for Chandler? Sure looked like it. .Its taken a while but with some players when the penny drops it hits the turf with a thud. He now knows what he is capable of doing. If that is his new standard going forward I will take that loss and look forward to Kosi joining him up forward.

I read that Kalani will be playing more forward this season. That of course is wait and see.

Has a look at the AFL website suggested sides. GWS despite losing a few regulars looks very strong. The have Judd McVee in. I doubt he will be ok to play by round 1. I probably would have AJ on the IC. Probably TmC misses for me. Turner can go back if needed.

A message to Freo. You chase Kosi and we chase Jacko.

You can watch it on Foxtell or Kayo. Listen on SEN from 5 55pm, ABC 6PM or AFL Nation at 6pm. Plenty of coverage.

Did it look like AMW did an ACL? Hope it's not bad!!!

Trading for players is a gamble. You win some, you lose some. It's probably review and learn situation with each trade. Lately we have lost more than gained. Fortunately our recruiting/drafting has been good.

Hmmm, Langdon trialling as mid and Goody says we have found a nugget. He said similar after seeing Disco play a half forward in the VFL and played well in his 1st 2 AFL games. Having said that I think Langdon would be used as a 'mix it up' rotation with a few others as a mid.

A bit off topic but will Sinnema be eligible for us as an Academy pick next year? ... And Prasad the following year??? I have tried to find definitive answers but no luck.

I have seen Jeffo at training and he has the body size now. He will play games at AFL level this year for sure IMO. Not so sure whether it will be round 1 though.

Maybe something out of left field like Harvs or Langers or a combo Hangers.🤣

Saw Jeffo running laps and he is a good size now. Not sure when he will be right for full training but he will get his chance this coming season to play AFL. AJ looked pretty good in match sim. Gets has hands and knees dirty when the ball hits the ground. Took a good grab and kicked from just outside 50 with no problem. As you would expect he could not get near Campbell in the ruck. Competes well and has 2nd and 3rd efforts. We will know more when we have a full scale practice game or 2. As an aside Mentha looked ok. Quick, gets good position on the outside. Will need some VFL time. Has potential. Some regular track watchers said he has improved immeasurably since his 1st sessions.

Gees its boring waiting for training to start.

I do not have a '2nd team' but i have 'soft spots' for teams from time to time. Usually under dogs but definitely not when they are playing against the Dee's.

If GC make the 8 they can only bid on 2 Academy players. I think Kalani will nominate us in any case.

Better to be a happy clapper than a nappy crapper who 'dumps' you know what on their team and players. I much prefer to be and remain positive.

The problem with Samoa is that English is the second language. The AFL rules Ah-Mu ineligible. Strangely despite Samoa being a Rugby dominated country and under represented in the AFL we dipped out. Does any one have knowledge of Toby's heritage?

JT said Kalani had terrific athletic ability and his football steadily improves. That is good enough for me.

If GC make the 8 they are restricted to 2 nominations. They have 2 likely 1st round mid type players plus Kalani who at this stage may be a 3rd or late 2nd rounder???

Twomey said in the Gettable draft review that he is likely to play round 1.

Could start with a voluntary add on contribution when memberships renewed etc?
