Castagna retirement gives us a spot.
Think we can get a second spot if we put someone on Long Term Injury list - but not Mate Collina, as he's a "bonus" Category B rookie.

We'll pick someone from WA you've never heard of who will turn into a gun
Teal back into VFL team for this weekend.
Tresize named forward with Tyler young back to vfl.
Bauer staying in the backline. Sonsie also starting back.
Matt Clarkson also playing again
Curtain raiser before Dreamtime game. So will be a big night for our vfl boys.

Keen to see how Tresize goes forward.
On anther note - with no McDonagh, Ross or Dow I would really like to see Sonsie play midfield. I'll be disappointed if he's hidden at half back.

To me, Sonsie is a midfielder but needs to improve his defensive game. Some of his efforts in the senior side were poor which, IMO, is the reason he got dropped. So this comes down to what do we want from the VFL team?
Play Sonsie in the middle & give us a better chance of winning this VFL game or play him in a defensive role and risk losing the match but developing his skills in this area so the AFL team gets a more rounded player when he returns to the seniors?

No.
He was playing well, yes but not starring. Doesn't mean he can't improve.
Settle down , solid for a first year , off to a good start , has stalled and needs to knuckle down in a few areas no drama , took shorty and bakes a bit to lock in a spot
You can still defend while playing midfield. He's a midfielder, play him there.
We'll take some random as **** player like we always do that no one saw coming
I'm torn between Teal - who I feel is the best talent available and a speculative tall.
In the end I won't be too fussed and will get behind whoever we get.

Small pressure fwd needed who can also play half fwd
Hope we have 2 pics ,teal would need to be selected early , the others if from our VFL I reckon would be avail at r2
Still reckon we should be looking at ex-Port smartass Boyd Woodcock. Been in Southport's best 3 for 6 of 8 rounds, averaging 28 possies (including hauls of 38 and 41 in the last 3), over 3 tackles and over a goal a game. We know that he can play that pressure forward role and he's still only 23 so that would fit our age profile perfectly. Ready to start AFL player with 7-10 years in front of him if he's good enough.

I disagree, we lack midfield depth. Even in our reserves the lack of midfield quality is evident
Bauer is still developing and Bradtke is only starting.
Short change Key positions do not really work and we need better transition and delivery. Far too much kick it long.
In fact the kick it long to the key has not served RFC well. Only have to look at 2017 when we where forced to change tact

I don't think the issue is midfield depth. I think the issue is that we try and play too many midfielders at once, and when half of them have poor games due to being played out of position or because they can't run out the game, we attribute it to a poor game in the midfield.
Much rather we look at the forward line, and find another key forward or small forward.

Bolton is a forward, Short is a back, Baker a forward, Smith a back, Ross a hybrid, Sonsie still growing.
That is pretty thin when Martin and Cotch go forward. Hopper and Taranto are only two players
There are a few KPF prospects in the MSD and one should fall to our pick.
That said, I don’t think that there’s any that’s ready to play ASAP. Even a guy like Maric who is likely to go in the top 3 at this stage played with Box Hill on the weekend and looks a likely type isn’t really ready to play ASAP.
I’d have Bauer ahead of all the KPF prospects but likely in the MSD in terms of readiness to play (not necessarily as a better prospect though).
