In that highlights reel he has space all around him or is able to run into space. He doesn't have that luxury anymore.

You lasted that long? I couldn't make it to half time.

No Joel Smith

Bet you it's Reefer

Fixed!

Agree, I thought Hanks had a ripper game> Ran all night from contest to contest with second and third efforts. Deserved to be in the best. A real goer.

A dearth of on-field leadership last year would incline me to think they'll increase the group this year. I don't think Viney will be demoted either. Gawn / Viney C-C Jetta, TMac, Lever & Harmes I think 'Nut' is a genuine chance and Jones will be a leader officially or unofficially. May could be leadership material but he's got to get some runs on the board first.

Tomlinson will have been in full training for 4-5 weeks by the kick-off. I think he'll at least get half a game. Who plays ruck could be anyone's guess - they could give Jackson, Brown, T-Mac and Tomlinson a quarter each or some combination. I think Bradtke is still a bit slight, but who knows.

Don't really see the Lions at 10th either

And Spargo. I was under the impression (perhaps wrongly) that he was back in full training at the camp.

I thought it was great. It was hard to watch bare bones Jones after seeing how ecstatic he was playing finals in 2018.

Thanks Acca - now I see where all our Friday night games went! I visited the AFL website to find the AFLW ladder. There was none that I could find, only last years AFL Ladder. Surely they (AFL) could pull the finger out.

I saw about 10 minutes of the Brisbane v Adelaide game last night. In very wet conditions, they were clean with the footy and used it well. Both teams looked a fair way ahead of us as we were scrappy and had poor skills for the most part. Hopefully, this will vastly improve now that the cobwebs have been blown out. Great to see the win first up and for Daisy to get back out there again.

Thoroughly deserved. Onya Jonesy!

I thought it was lame. When they trotted out the footage of a handful of players walking down some steps, I thought - is that all you can come up with? The rest was for the most part bland.

I'll go for Fritsch or Jordon. (In reply to B-Bob) Enjoyed all the reports - thanks to all!

Deakin Smith is the academy kid (spelt a funny way)

Thanks for the excellent reports! Anyone know what's up with Spargo? It's a helluva long time to miss with a supposed rolled ankle!

I cant edit the original but I probably should've put Hunter in instead of Mcrae as a true wingman.

Yep, hard to put together B Laird J McGovern Saad HB Harbrow Tarrant Sicily C B Hill Cripps Mcrae HF R Gray J Cameron D Martin F C Cameron Franklin De Goey R Gawn Fyfe Dangerfield

Seems a bit rich when they only played about 8 games last season.

Just to finish with a trivial one: Daisy Pearce has had twins, a girl and a boy. If both of them turn out to be potential AFL players, what is their eligibility to play for MFC as Mother son/daughter?

Meek Lloyd from Fremantle finds himself in the same boat as the Jordan James. Top notch reporting and attention to detail from Fox Footy

Questions: Can he give us a rundown on who the demons might have coming up as potential academy picks (or whatever they're called)? There are clubs that seem to be dripping with options and others (like us who have very few). Can he clarify our (NT) zone in this regard and has any of it been lost to GCS. I believe we have the Alice Springs area but is that the extent of it? Can he also talk about father-sons coming up in the next few years? Is Jeff White's son automatically tied to GCS with these new gift rules or can he still come to us (assuming he makes the AFL grade)? What is the departmental structure now that T Viney is behind a tractor? Who's the list manager etc? Cheers
