Agree, it’s just them doing everything they can to enhance his rehab and function he comes back in What it does highlight though with it being to that stage just now is that despite people being hyped by how fit he looks it is still a very interrupted preseason If you’re picking him because...

No doubt just after the spp period closes and we have to wait to mid season draft (and we don’t add a ruck)

Hopefully he doesn’t play as someone into Marshall but feels like the most likely of basement rucks to play. I tend to like a ruck/fwd though so (assuming not named rd 1) interesting choice him vs a WC basement dpp (esp with WC run of Sunday games for loophole)

5 year deal for Cerra can only be good signs in their confidence in his body. I only need 6-8 good weeks

this is the same end result in either scenario

If we get NWM I can’t imagine there will be a significant push on here for him to need to be a midfielder

Exactly and he’s a half back.

If we had pick 11 and traded it for wanganeen-Milera I’m not sure there’d be outcry

Cumming starting to integrate back into training apparently Joined in some drills today before more running. This from a track watcher… “Cumming was also involved in that earlier drill and was listed as a midfielder” Doesn’t mean a lot yet as players transitioned between groups in later...

Been my F8 for a while 🤞 Some pretty handy scoring last year in the VFL and if picked far better role than the other prospective forward rookies who tend to be prone to an average of 40 Anyone know when he actually made the shift to defense in vfl? Article doesn’t say but suggests it wasn’t...

You don’t want to compromise starting team imo, worry about it closer If you’ve picked players who are value and perform it’s worth it regardless. Rd 10, 11 can start to trade rd 12 to 15 (ideally at value) knowing you can then still get 3-4 weeks of them before trading them to players off...

Crouch does

Do less rooks go 55-60 than we think though I mean when you’re looking for your D8/F8 types given they’re probably the ones your replacing, not the best rookies you’d already have locked away

What scoring you expect from Maric and what’s the actual role he earmarked for/you expect? Seen him mentioned a few times for a def move but I don’t know a lot about him outside been mid season pick and seen him play fwd. What role you expect from baker too? I’m interested if he’s HBF

There’s definitely a world where he doesn’t s ore great, I’d in and out and is a victim of red/green vests. It’s more likely than him coming out and averaging 75. Like you said though we have 3 KpF so you can’t not pick him because he will have a mature KPD shutting him down. Thilthorpe, and...

Thats true but hes not necessarily a KPF with the way he moves. Still interesting to see how it fits as we’ve also got keys, ANB, Rachelle as regulars there (rankine obviously but im predicting more mid time for him). Tex won’t play each week so that creates opportunities but when he’s...

We don’t have a list spot so we can’t really entice someone to move across the country for a train on spot with nothing to offer. What I’m saying though is if the primary purpose is to have a better person for Rob to train against an AFL player just delisted moving to SA is a bit of a...

Training as a forward as well as mid but role looks to be more forward. I like him as a bench option not a F6 Both as don’t expect great scores, but also finding another 2 good fed rooks to sit behind him probably a challenge. Forward rookies can be the worst

Bigger based on population but outcome for the afl clubs is bigger problem for SA teams (marginally) as they’re still producing more

It’s also the age level that underage training becomes higher level and “more professional” so the natural talent and general junior coaching may get them there in the earlier stages but as the Vic kids start having enhanced facilities, increased training Frequencies and under the states too...

Or day goes big rd 0 and you swap back

I’ve currently got cerra in part because of Tigs rd 1. Hoping if ge has the role he can go big (at least relative to price) and becomes great starting pick. If he doesn’t then it’s a quick decision for him to be fix up trade as part of post rd 1 changes. Starting 2 could have same premise. You...

Was interested to see jarryd Lyons looking on today. (Noticed as saw a kid on a lions guernsey so made me look back)

I slot him in after watching today. Head vs heart maybe but I like the idea of backing him in over JHF. By no means locked though (I’m in a revolving door phase) Last year averaged 95 in games over 40% CBA. Problem was it was only 6 games- 3 were tons and another 99. Otherwise he was largely...

I reckon from today anyone banking on Crouch not being best 22 has to change their assessment and what it means for their assessment of others. Was clear CBA staple and linking up well with our more dynamic players. I’d have had Rankine as more mid time than the 60/40 above. Crouch Rankine was...

Is he auditioning (given there’s no list spot) or was it convenient there’s a player moving to SA who has been on an AFL list and so used to those training standards who could be offered a training spot Not so much about auditioning but benefit to us being having a fringe AFL level for Rick...

With the draft option it coukd actually be harder for clubs to match bids that year. Ie instead of a teams 2nd rounder being pick 22, it coukd be 30+ because of extra 1st round picks to Tasmania. So accumulating points for a top 5-10 player becomes significantly harder. Wonder if/how AFL...

Hinge played a lot of wing late last season so he may. I prefer him back though It’s an interesting part of the ground to watch for us, especially if Milera gets fit/form as another putting his hand up Worrell, Keane, Murray the taller defenders, Michelanney mid-sized leaves 3 spots in a 7...

Is shoenmaker viable D5/6? I feel like Allen (WC) may be a poor scorer at high price and the upgrade to him may be a play (then a suspected strong bench of Travaglia, El-Hawli) is he pretty confident as best 22? Priced at 48 after averaging 58 (72, 52, 49, 60) Can he match Battles 73 making...

I’m going similar. Probably 2 rookies feels better though
