Team Captain
reminds me of the hype for Jimmy Buckley & Jack/Steven Silvagni....they turned out just fine in ''team of the century/or CFC team for last 100 yrs'' from great schoolboy footballers

As someone mentioned on shwitter, how's the reach on Dom?

Exaggeration means absolutely nothing. The data is valid, but not fully predictive.

Just being realistic.
Lots of time for those boys. No pressure 2 years out.
Even Lemmey 12 months ago was a top 5 pick. Now he was just happy to be taken at all. Jarrod Brander was a lock for pick #1 12 months out. McGuire led a campaign to get the GWS zone changed because of him. In the end he was a late pick and desisted shortly after.
These guys are 24 months out.

Being realistic would be to point out that it's not a given. Semantics perhaps, but we're on the internet and sadly someone will take things seriously.

I disagree
It means that we are a chance (yes just a chance) of using the system and drafting a decent player cheaper than expected
I’m rather jealous of other teams getting high quality players via Father-son Rule - It’s our turn!

That's the point, it's essentially a boost of pure talent instead of focusing on the short term or on the pressure to not stuff up the selection. The talent is already there and you are simply waiting on matching a bid, you don't need to overthink with perhaps too high a pick. There is also the draft surplus you get from focusing on accruing points. There's no 'overpaying'. The only regret I had in regards to the F/S rule was that we didn't convince Lance Whitnell to wait out another year so we could have drafted that extra 17Y/O in the draft.

Enjoy …
From the track | Best of pre-season
Watch as the AFL playing group prepares for 2023 with some gruelling pre-season sessions.

Dylan had the work ethic and the motivation to succeed. It's unfortunate that he came to the club at a bad time and wasn't developed properly. A lot of the guys we picked up around the same time never did anything of note.

Lucas is the winger, Ben is turning into a HBF type.
Not at the moment but how long until these boys are afl ready? 2 years until drafted and 2-5 years of development ontop of that. Where are Acres, LOB and Cottrell then?
Easy - 5x premiership players.
There is certainly a lot of luck in getting into a programme that suits your skill base. How many years would Jason Costagna lasted at Carlton as a forward that can't kick goals, 2 at best but he is a triple premiership player that fitted into a game plan.
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? Hard to know how much of the problem was Dylan, and how much was the club. But he certainly had AFL attributes that gave him a real chance. He was quick and a lovely kick.

From the track | Looking back on week one
Enjoy some sideline vision as the AFL first-to-four-year players (and some) were back at IKON Park this week.
I don’t get it. How old is this footage. Have they returned? And is Cotterell running already??From the track | Looking back on week one

Video posted 2 days ago but footage is from over a month ago.
Anyone in the know heard much about the new draftees? Any impressing in particular?
Houses have been trained all the way down, all look like they should be playing round 1 and I cant believe they are 1st year draftees!
............or something like that!

I heard pre-Christmas that Cowan had impressed with size and attitude. Might see him earlier than expected. Looked a natural in the last session before the holiday period.
