Played junior footy with Coops brother, legend of a guy with a massive heart. Will be baracking for you lot as a second team from now on, treat him well lads.
Cody Anderson's preseason testing as per Souup
Certainly not slow, and with hands as clean as his he could end up a real pick up. Just needs to iron out his disposal, but a couple months with Sammy should sort him out. Absolute defensive weapon though, just the sort of player we need in 2-3...
Just once I want a club to pick a player, thinking they're in the open pool and that it's safe and that everything moves on just for sleepy Mark to bolt his hand up and say we match.
Hawthorn selects Cooper Bell (GIANTS Academy/Allies)
Tall athletic defender who was given the toughest jobs each week for the Allies. One to develop at Box Hill and hopefully come good as the old guard start to move on.
I also choose not to match becuase I can.

This is way too last minute, but if anyone has any tickets my family are desperate to get to the game. Guy who bought their groups tickets decided to sell them out from under them for cash once it sold out. Sorry if this is against the rules, but I gotta try for them.
Pick 27 - Hawthorn - Harry O'Farrell - Calder Cannons
196cm - Key Position Defender
A kid with the bones of a great lockdown defender. Has good ball use, great closing speed, and a frame that could fill into an absolute monster.
PMBangers for Gold Coast now.
Pick 25 - GWS - Jack Whitlock - Murray Bushrangers
200cm - Key Forward
Giants pick up the twins, providing great bookend development and fighting that deadly go home factor.
Pie 4 Life
Pick 13 - GWS - Matt Whitlock - Murray Bushrangers
199cm - Key Position Utility
GWS has a pretty complete list, and Matt provides flexability and impact on both ends of the footy as a key position player with excellent mobility and marking prowess. He's a player who can stick around the VFL...
Just picked up Smillie in the Draft Hub phantom draft, but the one I've been really looking at is Harvey Langford. Terrific above his head, great stamina base, and burst out of stoppages. Reminiscent of Connor MacDonald a bit, but a lot cleaner over head and by foot at the same age. He's not...
Pick 8 - Hawthorn - Josh Smillie - Eastern Ranges
194cm - Utility Midfielder
I was left with a choice I was dreading coming into this phantom draft, but I had to go with the guy with more runs on the board.
Josh Smillie is a player who exemplifies the modern midfield bull. Yes he's a giant...
Thanks, I always try and match the tone of my posts with the person I'm replying to.
You are absolutely right though Tivva29 get in here and explain why you named your son after a wall bed instead of a motorcycle company.
What a coincidence, I easily have Moraes above:
Berry
Lindsay
Gross
Langford
Allan
Sims
Dodson
Nicholls
And he's pretty close to the group around Lalor, Welsh, and Reid.
And as you should know, any opinion other than mine is just plainly incorrect. So next time instead of talking in hyperbole...
Cam Mackenzie's hands in close are extraordinary. The year he gets the tank to play as a mid 75% of the game is the year we become serious flag contenders.
He's not the same player, but he sort of reminds me of Petracca when he was in his first few years where you could tell he was going to be a gun when he had the ball in hand, it was just about building the tank to have that happen 30 times a game instead of 15. The Tracc comparison ends there...
Wasn't a brilliant day for him, but his defensive effort yesterday was extraordinary. He looked hungry for tackles in a way I've never seen from him, and I hope this is a sign of things to come.
I think where Jagga stands apart athletically is his agility and his ability to utilise it constantly. His gait is really light, he takes a ton of steps even when at full pace and he changes his direction multiple times in single runs. It's not as powerful as just running straight through a...
Smith is on FOS and Smillie's level, he's just the player that fits our needs the least. He's comparable to Colby and Daicos, the best thing for his development is starting as a loose halfback with a license to run and gun which is the role we've given to D'Ambrosio. That being said, if we have...
If we end up with pick 3 or 4, keep on eye on Shanahan, O'Farrell, Faull, The Whitlocks, Mraz, Lockwood and most of all Trainor. Either to take one of them, or to split the pick and grab two. We might end up with the third pick in a three man midfield draft, there's evey chance someone pays up...
He seemed very settled against Footscray, and just from the eye test he seems like he'll go well with larger opponents. He's not going to marking up Tom Hawkins every week, but playing as a half back a la Dawson in his first few seasons with the swans or Scrimshaw in his current role I reckon...
