You'd have to be crazy taking a Bulldogs rookie at this point. Bev is just giving everyone a sniff.

Wish I took vandermeer over Hamill though.
Dare I say Vanders was probably "yeah we'll give him a sniff, it's COVID season and he looks good" to "oh sh!t, he can actually play, we'll keep him in"
His team selections have been baffling at times this year.

Don't know where you're getting your mail from but Draper played in his second scratch match on Friday.
Player review: Scratch match v Western Bulldogs
All 15 players are assessed from the Bombers' scratch match against the Western Bulldogs on the Gold Coast.
Also, he hasn't been on the Bombers official injury list for a couple of weeks now.

The only f'ing rookie I care about now is Gould.
Sydney need to unleash him.
And I want him tagging Lloyd so he can have his leftover chips.

I know he has been playing practice matches. I mean he is one or two weeks away from AFL level. Coming off an ACL, as you know, so building up his match fitness & conditioning.
Has been playing up until three quarter time in the scratchies so I’d dare say we’d want him playing full matches before selecting him in the ones.

Longmire saying 10 players on his injury list .....with all the frequency of matches, and short rests, Gould will get a game by default .....thank God

So unlike Essendon to talk up their players
Surely he has something more to offer than TBC & Phillips?

He will be straight in when ready IMO. Just a matter of when we deem him ready to chuck him in.So unlike Essendon to talk up their players
