Gillet, Gildor and Gallop.
Are we serious? Can someone please create nicknames for these blokes so we don’t get confused.

The 200 CM kid can be Big G!!

Razor, Lilly and Phar Lap.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see us try and figure out a way to get all five or four out of five. Our academy has been going great for us, long may it continue

Cmon mate, its all been late picks. Coleman 24, Payne 54, Harris 41 etc. Academy has been scraping through for us and we have been lucky so far. Nothing to see here !

 

[Crusha]

Gilder the best player currently of that lot outside Ashcroft and Marshall (who are both certainties and Lions have committed to them both) but Gillett might be considered the 'best prospect'

I would have Gilder and Gillett on potential (in that order) ahead of Marshall ........ but if we have committed, then something would have to give re. some favoured fringe players on our list for either or both to get picked up (in the Main Draft or the Rookie draft).

You would think Lane would likely need to go (knee injury, I know) to cater for Gillett (Lane can still be supported/re-habbed by the Lions even if delisted ....... indeed, I think it would be a requirement).
And Carter Michael (a favourite of mine who just hasn't had a decent run at it through injury) would seem to be the logical de-listing if Gilder was to be picked up.

That still leaves the need for others to make way for the "committeds", and any potential KPP who might be around late in the draft.......... will be an interesting Player Review/Trade/Draft period for the List management team this off season (especially if we jag the big one).


ps After taking WAshcroft & Marshall, anything other than a "late" bid for the Academy boys would be difficult to match ... you would think)

Referring back to my first post ITT, 2024 and 2025 are banger years but 2026's a bit of a low-ish year.

2027 is when the fire intensifies again.

Max Boothey, Lachlan Ellen and Noah Rafter all named in the U 15 All-Australian squad over the weekend.

Aren't Matthew Owen and Caylen Murray both 2026? They both got named U16 All Australians.

Who do you consider has the most potential to be a quality AFL player over the next 3-4 drafts from the Lions academy Redman?

SHIT!

Forgot about Owen and Murray.

Is Gillett best as a pure ruck or ruck forward, or could he play as a tall defender?

I do agree but also can see a view that its good for the comp if players get drafted to other teams. It really strengthens our argument about adding to the player pool and development pathway if we dont get to keep everyone.

It also sets up some potential future homesick trades

Levi will be playing for the Lions VFL this weekend against GWS according to Twomey on Gettable

He seems decent forward but from what I’ve seen I think his best position would eventually be as a pure ruck.

Someone might need to translate this for me, but from what I read about the draft changes coming in for 2024 (ie this year) Levi doesn't have to formally nominate under father-son etc until he gets selected on draft night. Is that right?

He'll nominate under F/S, I don't think that aspect of F/S is changing.

 

[Crusha]

Sssssshhhh .......... I'm still hoping he gets through to where we might have a pick ........

James Barrat (#42) - Coates Talent League Round 17

Well that's resolved now that he's formally committed!!

Even if it was a foregone conclusion, it's still lovely to see

Excellent news to here that Levi is joining us for 2025 and beyond, now I can breathe easy with not jinxing any decision and going too early with my selection of profile photo choice

2 out of 3 Ashcroft kids at the club now.

Hope they give Marcus some club or QLD footy role and bring him over.
Lucy can start playing with our AFLW team and that would cover off everyone.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Geninuely don't be surprised if he ends up better than Will, which is saying something.

We suffered as fans throughout the 10s but the 20s & 30s are going to be some good vibes for this club.

 

[Dalions]

Amazing

 

[mpal6]

It's a nice touch that we've kept 10 vacant after Rich retirement for this boy to walk in - with an insta handle of Leviashcroft10

Our ressies game being on Sunday, gives an opportunity to rest of club to come and be witness to the beginnings of Lash's Lion's career.
