What's Simon Phillips up to these days? He'd play 100+ games under Donuts.

With the addition of Ratugolea, Soldo, Sweet and BZT, plus with a number of project talls already on the list unless an exceptional kpp falls through the cracks to our late picks (which is unlikely), to get the balance of the list right the club now needs to select some 180-185 cm players with pace, good disposal, and goal sense.
Players of that type are very thin on the ground at Alberton in both comps!

Lance Collard at 17. He just keeps dropping.
But can he stay hard? For longerer?

Not shocked if he's there at the end of the night either. Could be everyone steers clear for a year or two to see how he matures off field.
He chose the blue pill.
What are his hobbies?
To the eye, the position we need to improve most is small forward. But is this true? Rioli, DBJ and McEntee were all in the top dozen or so at the B&F.
A small forward needs to tackle and score. The comparison of DBJ and McEntee v Hill and Ginnivan is;
Player. Tackles. Goals
McEntee. 2.91. 0.64
DBJ. 2.87. 0.78
Rioli. 2.47. 1.63
Hill. 2.33. 1.38
Ginnivan. 0.86. 1.14
So our small forwards tackle better but don’t hit the scoreboard as much. The same goes for SPP v Elliot.
What we wouldn’t give for another small forward who can tackle and score goals like Rioli.
He obviously wasn’t playing his role properly.

Boak did exceptionally poorly in the B&F- he averaged less votes per game than Jonas and Visentini and about half as many per game as McEntee.

Yeah, some rumours swelling around but the dude is actually above 6 foot which shocked me, is an unbelievably, talented natural footballer, one of the best one on one players in the f50, kicks goals to make Eddie Betts blush and has some of the most dense high twitch muscle fibres I've ever seen on a player.
Considering it is a very difficult position to fill, the small forward who scares the bejesus out of you when he is even near the ball, well, I would cash it in. What can I say? I think I'm still disappointed that Fantasia didn't light it up for us.
If you are talking about Collard, unless he has done some disturbing stuff, I'd cash in 73 or whatever it is and cross my fingers.
I'd love to get two of collard, Sanchez and delean with our nothing picks. (When I watch vic c v vic m I'm sure there will be more.
Our good citizen policy hasn't got us where we want to go. I'd take a punt on a highly talented loose cannon/campaigner type

Needs to learn about the club more
What are you talking about?
How about Jed McEntee and his 0.6 goals a game.
Great bloke.
could be the nicest lad in the league. He's a credit to his parents
