[KermitJagger]

Stays fit, reckon he averages ~26 touches and a goal a game next year. Lock it in.

 

[Billyc]

Most valuable asset on the list.

 

[Brishawk]

Kid is a freak. Well done newc!

 

[KeeperLeaguer]

All this love for Duke and I reckon it still isn't enough.
From Poowong irregular to first-picked Hawk.
Testament to his commitment but also a large dose of gratitude to Sammy who saw what he wanted and got it.

A gun like Duke in the MSD? Nahh, couldn't happen right?

Wait until you see Ramsden dominating up forward. The afl will change the rules

Pick 2.

I am so glad we finally got the opportunity to draft a player at the elite end of the draft.

 

[cryptor]

Dark horse for the Brownlow next year. Polled well this year with Mitchell taking some votes off him.

He'll likely be our undisputed number 1 mid next season. We'll struggle to win enough games for him to poll enough to win it, but if he improves and plays well in our wins then I could see him placing.

Currently $151 odds. Worth a few bucks even if just to cash out once those odds come in later in the year.

 

[TylerDurden]

Jumper #3 pls.

 

[MrPremiership]

Jumper #3 pls.

Do it, pls

 

[Sixpence]

Only concern with that is he is now our player most likely to be targetted by taggers

Need Nash to play a protection/enforcer role for him.

And Finn

And Meek

 

[matey]

It’s harder to tag powerful bull mids

 

[Coach Killer]

Meek, Jai, Worps, Stephens & Finn - the run and bash brigade.

Rumours of our impending doom are grossly over exaggerated. We're going to be very hard to play against next year.

 

[Dewnior]

Jumper #3 pls.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He’s back.

 

[matey]

He’s back.

So Jai will start getting more attention next year …… good luck! What’s he doing there ……. running with some big weights or squatting on one leg? Wants to be more powerful

He's doing bulgarian split squats, aka torture

[Ned Ryerson]

Someone's not skipping leg day - looks like a bloody NRL player with those trunks.

 

[MrPremiership]

None of the boys in club gear. Just cementing that Adidas are done, and waiting for November 1 for new gear
