I remember years ago a friend telling me that back when he had arrived at boarding school from the country he, like everyone else, had to sign up for Union.

On the funny side he didn't even know the positions and they were asking for name and position when you got to the front of the line. So he gave his name and the same position the boy before him said which was forward. You know those really fast skinny winger types whose main desire is to not get tackled? That was where he ended up ... his time in the forward pack was ... interesting.

Same, I went to a catholic school back in the UK and your choices were union and league or union and soccer with
a bias towards union.

Cerra's pretty good but is never consistently healthy.

Frejah played most of the year for the dogs and is a really promising 18yo

Funny how it happens now a non-vic team got a few good F/S players.

I’m still not sure what is in it for the club bidding for the F/S, academy kid unless they think the bid won’t be or can’t be matched and that is the player they want. Other than making a team pay a fair price (whatever that is), what’s the point? It also isn’t in anyone’s interest to do it to be petty because all clubs have the same access to F/S and now NGA etc. Also, assuming it’s the bidding teams first pick, it is very much, we didn’t actually want you but out first choice got matched.

If you bid on a F/S or academy prospect that clearly want to go to the club they are associated win and know that the team can’t match the bid due to points then you just end up with an enemy and a really unhappy player that wants to get out ASAP. It’s just a bad way to start a relationship with a draft pick. This doesn’t apply the further you go down to the picks because a lot of kids are just happy for the opportunity, but the elite kids know they are going to play AFL.

Reading the descriptions and they aliken Levi to Lachie Neale (great) and Marshall to Adam Cerra (). Weve got players being compared to Curnow, Jeremy Cameron, Nick Reiwoldt, Dusty, Luke Hodge, Lachie etc., and the best they come up for with Marshall is bloody Adam Cerra. I hopehe's nothing like Cerra and certainly doesnt have the injury issues that have plaugged Cerra all his career.

Some other kid was likened to Joel Freijah and my first thought was who? Seriously I've never heard of Joel Freijah so perhaps Cerra is complimentary.

Are you Dillion with another name? Everything is always negative with you.
