[Mr Ripper]

Did you watch VFL vs Southport? Did he take Fraser Thurlow in that match? Thurlow kicked six and I would describe him as a really big forward.

Think Rayner picked him up from memory

Yeah Rayner is who I remember too (well I remember the arm sleeve tattoo).

[Grasshopper17]

Arnold could be lining up on our lads in a couple of weeks.

 

[Still Me]

Reckon we will debut in back half of year

I think you right Miller he will probably play, but time will tell if he has the goods or not. Just not sure what type of forward he plays on?

Say Collingwood I reckon McStay, Johnson, Checkers all eat him alive?

He gets third tall at best but even then I think he may be up against it. But hopefully I am wrong and he can get a crack at it and do well as he is a good bloke.

Very soft draw

Not allowed under mid season draft rules I think. Can’t play against club you are recruited from.

How exactly does one nominate for the mid-season draft while also being on a clubs current list????

 

[dlanod]

Not allowed under mid season draft rules I think. Can’t play against club you are recruited from.

There's plenty of caveats in that rule.

If a player selected in the mid-season rookie draft stays in his home State he is ineligible to play against his previous club unless agreed by all parties.

Arnold wasn't drafted within his home state so the rule immediately does not apply. However "previous club" in this context is mainly to allay the concerns of WAFL/SANFL clubs (though it also holds for the VFL), and for AFL reserves I think most clubs would just say that it's fine to play the draftee against them because they're not too fussed about W/L (again, unlike WAFL and SANFL clubs).

Biggest revelation here is that my beloved Cramer Street is apparently now known as 'Genis Steel Oval'. Really hoping that isn't a typo, too.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Very soft draw

Yeah, how flukey we only play teams below us.

 

[McIvor]

So easy in hindsight though. It's easy to understand the logic behind going Joyce. Guaranteed we'd have gone Arnold if we had this body of work to make a judgement on.

Not really at all; quite a few reserves watchers that were all in on Harry and when it was apparent Adams would play in 23 said Harry should have been the man. I doubt Joyce gets another afl game and really showed zero at Saints whereas Harry was a local QLDer and is twice the footy player of Joyce

 

[Zhesty]

People getting pretty excited over Harry, some I'm sure have probably not watched more than 5mins of him playing. I'm sure Harry will make a decent afl player but I thought Joyce was a decent depth option.

With Harris and Payne, I'm pretty happy with where we are at for the next few years.

 

[knaf]

Harry was injured and we needed a KPD for round one. Been mentioned a few times.

He was injured towards the back of last year but he had a great pre-season ? I know Lachie talked him up on Jan 18 as in the frontline for that defender spot.For whatever reason they have gone with Joyce.

 

[Crusha]

Harry debuting with Sydney VFL (on now, quarter time - goto VFL streaming on AFL website).

Unfortunately, the "work experience" cameraman struggling to follow the flight of the ball. A couple of times he's even lost it completely.

Sometimes happens when they get a contractor who's unfamiliar with covering the sport i.e. if they're more used to rugby or soccer. And if you work in sports broadcasting these days, the majority are contractors.

Would be interesting if he made a surprise debut next week at the Gabba.

Think Lester a bit stiff as I thought he was going ok in seniors. Maybe starting to finally look at future and get some minutes into some disgruntled VFL boys not getting opportunities.

The Coleman decision is mind boggling considering McCarthy, Gunston, Raynor etc continue to have minimal output but seem untouchable at selection table.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go VFL Lions! Box Hill is a good team, so will be a test.

Blake showing a bit more today

Had forgotten about Beasley,cut when Fagan arrived
