From watching Mitch Robbo's Vlogs lately, it seems to me he might be starting to pi*s people off. For example in his latest video there is a scene where Joe Daniher covers his face as he doesnt like media. Any inside word on what is going on here? Starting to feel a bit Akermanis-ish IMO.

He clearly has his very close group of friends (JBerry, Matho, Fullerton, etc) who heavily feature but lot of others who keep away. I have wondered the same at times but also just assume that its a large group of guys who can have a variety of different friendship groups

Don’t think so. Came across as a cheeky/friendly ‘don’t wanna be on camera so I’ll cover my face’ kind of thing.
 
Looks as though Mitch Cox has been signed.

Interesting to see where and how he fits in this season. Could be a surprise packet?
 
Any chance of a surprise debut? Given injuries to half backs/outside runners?

Has his practice match form been strong enough?
He may have played the VFL trial match against Southport on the weekend but other than that he hasn’t played.

Don't think he was involved in any of the intraclubs, but likely played v GC and Southport in the VFL practice matches. Not sure there was much, if any reports on how he played.

I very much doubt he would be in the frame at this point. It's likely, even if both Coleman and Madden are unavailable we will select Zorko and Ah Chee and play one of them in the backline. Next cab off the rank is probably Prior. So still plenty of options at this point.

Tbh I watched this week's episode and I felt annoyed at some of his antics - can imagine plenty would feel the same. I'm sure the club has made it clear not to bother the players who don't want to be bothered.

dont think those 3 names you provided are 100% accurate. Berry & Matheson always make a bee line to the camera at every opportunity and are not fussy who is leading the conversation.

Think he is going over the top just for the video content. Seems like he's annoying most of them

Would it be fair to assume that Mitch Cox and Eli Smith would be competing for the same spot in our AFL team?
Just my opinion, but I would have the inside mid depth as:
Neale
Lyons
J Berry
Robertson
Mathieson
T Berry
Smith
Tunstill

And Tunstill likely jumps Smith and T Berry by mid year.

Zorko’s been sacked.

He isn't an inside mid. I'd have he, Bailey and McCluggage as guys who can go inside but are more effective as outside players.

Does Rayner tend to take an inside mid spot when he rotates through mid? I didn’t notice the mix in the crows game

If you are in the middle for a centre bounce, I would consider you an inside mid. Even if just for short periods within games.

Fair enough. Generally though, an inside mid is someone like Neale or Lyons - players who specialise in centre clearances. An inside/outside mid is someone like Hugh who can play as both an extractor or be a weapon on the outside.

Then there are the mid forwards who can go on the ball for short periods - either inside or outside - and have an impact but either don't have the tank to be a full time mid (Rayner) or are better suited to half forward (Zorko, Bailey).

We have a really nice mix at the moment.
 
where do you find who was named and played in the VFL practice game?

One guy in particular went well down back, but finding it hard to work out who is who.
