Time to bring back Aaron Cornelius!
I think I'm slowly coming around to the idea of taking more than two players, provided the coaches have identified enough players they like, they're plugging list holes and only two of them at most will be here longer than 6 months.
May as well go with Hagan, they're at the same club but Hagan plays seniors.
Annable with 28 touches v Eastern Ranges yesterday. Backed up after 29 the week before v the Northern Knights. Good numbers for an underage player.
Geesu had 14 and a goal.

He did work with Zane in Tassie right? Glad things are going well for him.

Anyone we bring in simply must have speed. I think we have enough talls on our list to make do.

Do you think there are any speedy wingman, small forward types in QAFL?
After learning how players can nominate 6 months or 18 months for MSD - I'm not keen on getting someone interstate unless we see them as 18 month potential. Szekely for 18 months is a good gamble.
But for 6 months, I'd like to add as much pace as possible. If QAFL that removes the challenge of relocation and they might be willing to gamble a 6 month stint to show what they've got.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Al Davis is that you?
I’ve no idea about mature age prospects.
I do read the MSD thread on the draft page, so same as everyone else here.
I do have a few philosophical views about the potential MSD talent pool. After the first couple of MSD’s most of the quality mature age prospects have been picked, so the early picks now are the late developers from last year’s U18’s, and there’s probably only 2 or 3 19 year olds who are genuine chances to stick.
For small forward, I think we probably have the man in our VFL team already, Ben Thomas.
As for speedy wingers, I read this article from last year on who coaches think is the fastest player in their side:
Comparing these to who has been in the best on ground lists in recent QAFL games, a couple of players stand out.
One is Bailey Brown from Labrador. In a season preview he was nominated by his coach as the young gun to watch out for, described as "a winger who runs non-stop, plays both sides of his body and can hit the scoreboard".
Another is Sherwood captain Will Fletcher, who used to play for our VFL team. While he seems to play as an inside midfielder rather than a winger, it's worth noting he's won four consecutive best and fairests and has been in the QAFL team of the season in both 2022 and 2033.
Not in the speediest list, Labrador's other winger Aiden Fyfe seems to be doing well too lately. He was in the Suns academy but didn't get drafted. Seems to be more of the pinpoint kicking type than the speedy type.
Disclaimer: I don't follow the QAFL at all so I'm relying entirely on what I read, therefore drafting any of these players might be a laughable idea to those who have actually watched them play.

LOL!
Luke Hodge joking on SEN this morning that he has 3 weeks to get in shape for the Mid Season Draft, putting up his hand for the Lions.

I think this is a good way for us to invest back into QAFL as well. Just grab the promising ones in 6 month contract and see what they've got. Great way to promote our recruiting drive too in the state.
It'll look very similar to how our Women's team was built with Dakota and few others coming from QAFLW.
Unsure if QAFL teams and fans will view it that way though, as we're pinching their players halfway through their season, including their finals series.
Any recently delisted players worth a look?or they can’t be taken in this draft? Don’t really know the various draft rules… too many drafts and signing periods imo.

CEY made big bucks on NFTs, he doesn’t need the money!!!!
Also he’s suing the club still as far as I’m aware.
This.
The QAFL clubs hate us pinching their best kids for the academy, especially when the academies play “meaningless” development games late in the season, when finals are on.
They’d be doubly p!ssed if we take a couple of their best players for 6 months.
However, with our injury list, we’re going to be pulling players out of the QAFL for our VFL team anyway, so be good to offer a couple of players a full time income for 4 months, plus a $50k bonus for being delisted after 4 months.
And shanks it when it under pressure.
Good point, they might be a little less aggrieved if we're drafting players who already miss their club's QAFL games to play VFL for us, like Ben Thomas and Riley Greene.

He fits right in then
Interesting. You’d have thought local footy clubs would be rapt to have blokes entering pathways to get drafted. They should be ashamed tbh. You don’t often get a chance to show your worth in front of recruiters even if it seems “meaningless”. To be honest more I think about the more pathetic it is they should be doing everything and anything for the blokes wanting to get drafted.
I question what impact would an academy prospect have on a local footy clubs run to finals anyway. If they have to rely on 16-18 year olds for a (in the grand scheme of things) meaningless local league title then they have bigger problems than some young bloke wanting to take the next step and test themselves.

I would love him as an assistant coach but doubt he will leave the media for the pressures of coaching .
