with Robbo recently announcing he's going to retire, you would think Ashcroft will wear #5 for 2023 just a possibility

5 is fit the ADD crazy hard nut. Need to retire it until we find a genuine successor.

But then, will there ever be another Mitch??

If Rich retires he could take #10, same as his dad. Or McStay's #25

So its not pick 11 for us anymore.

Pick 13 or 14 now. Lets see what next weekend brings.

Sandringham up by 50 against Calder.

Levi just kicked his second goal after starting a bit of niggle with his opponent after the ball went over the boundary and his opponent evidently retaliated and gave away the free (and then 50 for not giving the ball back). Will was very quick to jump in and fly the flag for Levi too.

Will doing his usual thing dominating the midfield, especially in the first half. Levi is spending more time on the ball in the last quarter, and does not look out of place despite the age gap with some strong tackles.

 

[JasRulz63]

Levi slots his 3rd goal from about 40m just before the final siren after a chase down tackle that was rewarded.

 

[M Malice]

So Will wont be able to play for us in the reserves Preliminary Final.

Would be a bit unfair parachuting in who would be the best player on the ground I guess.

We'll have to settle for Levi?

 

[JasRulz63]

We'll have to settle for Levi?

Might play a bit too rough for Casey/Melbourne's liking unfortunately.

 

[JasRulz63]

Levi finished with 18 disposals and 3 goals.

Is there a chance we can get both Will & Levi playing in our AFL side next Friday instead

Hope Ashcroft is alright. Had his knee iced up after the game.

Has had a pretty heavy workload this year and he’s noted how seriously he takes his recovery, wouldn’t be too worried about it.

 

[Lace Out]

Handy both these kids enjoy kicking snags

 

[M Malice]

Father/sons locked in.

[trikster]

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Disappointing with that to be honest, I really was expecting 24x Will Ashcrofts in that lineup instead

Seriously though, well done to Will Ashcroft for being selected as captain of the NAB League TOTY

 

[BuntonRules]

would have had Levi in there, personally.

 

[mpal6]

Let's put a +600 points trade in our favor if anyone wants our future first.

CLUBS EYEING 2023 TALENT​

CLUBS will look to trade out of this year's draft and invest picks in the 2023 crop with a bumper group looming.

Recruiters are buoyed by the under-17 prospects who have starred at different levels across the country this year, so much so that many clubs will see if they can swap picks in this year's draft for future selections in the 2023 intake.

There is genuine star quality at the top end of this year's draft pool and then an evenness of names beyond that which some scouts feel will trigger clubs to try and bank extra selections in the draft next year.


A host of bottom-aged players have impressed across this season, with Bendigo Pioneers youngster Harley Reid shaping as the early No.1 pick favourite for next year. Many recruiters would view him as a top-five pick in this year's draft if available.

Nick Watson, Zane Duursma, Ashton Moir, Darcy Wilson, Jed Walter, Mitch Edwards, Nate Caddy, Colby McKercher and Archer Reid are among some of the other exciting talents to have impressed this season a year out from being draft eligible.

The capacity for this year's group to feature at under-18 level prior to their draft seasons has also lifted hopes for next year's draft class, given the past two draft pools had opportunities wiped out by COVID-19. – Callum Twomey

Normally I would be against it but with a free hit for Will this year and most probably Levi let’s do it. A lot of permutations but clubs are across a number of moves, trades etc around trade week and draft night.

 

[scoman]

Perhaps we trade next year's first for a host of the Gold Coasts picks this year. Picks they are unlikely to need after they end up with two picks in the top 10 and a rather settled list.

Only issue is Gold Coast has one of those exciting talents listed in that article (Jed Walter) in their academy.
