I think they have a few coming up in next few years. Cochrane boys trying to get into ports NGA with dad Richard pushing hard for rules to be made to allow his boys into system. Looking At indigenous angle although not sure if they are in port area

Stuart?

I'm a bit of the opinion that if Richmond don't take Smith at 1 he'll be there at 4

Possibly true - but I think he is a certainty to go to Richmond. West Coast the only danger for Draper - if we want him

FOS could get to the Tigers at that pick, too. I reckon it's 50/50

Tigers could also trade up to get another top 3 pick and grab two of FOS/Jagga/Lalor/Langford (I don't think they take Draper)

 

[Mostyn]

No it doesn't because all the FA compo picks that land before pick 25 are picking players in the open pool

He didn't say Free Agent Compo.

Yes, that does push us back.

 

[Mostyn]

Stuart?

Lol, yeah - Richard would be their grandad.

I liked what i saw from him in the Champs, he's a big, aggressive lump of a lad.

Not super mobile mind you, that's an area to work on.

Did nothing to peak my interest in yesterday's U17's Futures game on the G.

The best tall outside of the 2 rucks Louis Emmett and Cooper Duff-Tytler was Murray Bushrangers Liam Hetherton who booted 3 goals and looked very athletic with a good goalkicking style, the only other tall to look impressive was Sandringham Dragon Archie Ludowyke.

Curtin doesn't look the athlete like his brother to my eye.

agree on curtin 2. i didn't actually like heatherton much at all either tbh.

greaves looked nice

overall didn't think it was that high standard.

On yesterday's Futures game of the SA boys I thought Sam Cumming was by far SA's best, Dyson Sharp for mine was underwhelming even when he played in the midfield (did play back a fair bit). I thought Josh Reichelt and Harley Barker showed quite a bit especially liked Reichelt pace and skills. Aiden Schubert and Luke Candy relatively quiet.

Watch Who Do You Think You Are? Australia: Season 6 Episode 6

Australian of the Year and AFL star Adam Goodes investigates his long-lost Aboriginal heritage, uncovering a royal bloodline and a 19th-century mining magnate in his family tree.

www.sbs.com.au

Goodes' parents were separated when he was four; his father moved to Mackay, Queensland[9] while Goodes moved between Wallaroo and Adelaide (in South Australia) and Merbein (in Victoria) with his mother.

 

[kirky]

Brisbane were missing Coleman, McCarthy, Gardiner and Doedee from the premiership side plus McInerney.

Good chance to go back to back, assuming the premiership players have the desire. Might be another 3 peat coming up. Now that would be something. Just in time to end and ours to start

Getting in early for next year, elite speed and skills, already did most of the Rebels kick ins as an underager. so good is his disposal...

I thought Josh Reichelt and Harley Barker showed quite a bit especially liked Reichelt pace and skills. Aiden Schubert and Luke Candy relatively quiet.

Sharp very banged up so he wasn't exerting himself that much, his usual contest to contest running was absent. Did what he had to, thought he played well considering and played fwd, middle and back. Schubert is a weapon and is no doubt one of the best talls going around next year, got that raw untapped potential so watch out for him next year. Bucket hands. Cumming a wonderful gut runner, the outside game suited him very much.

Reichelt did well given the lack of pressure but he wilts when pressure comes on his disposal. He's one that can tease you with some great stuff and then frustrate the minute after. Barker great speed, he's definitely one to watch. LeRay tried but think he's gunna be more a SANFL level. Candy alright early but then faded.
