Gray would be next to no chance to debut.

You were down to about 25 fit players last week weren't you? He has to be chance!

But I suspect you'll take at least a month of looking at him in a new and full time system and if you get back to anything near a healthy list he'll be a fair way down until the back end of the year. Where as Blight could be thrown in within a month if he translates WAFL from to VFL form.

Some are starting to come back.

by time he settles in Lynch will be back.

Blight I could see getting a game to push Balta back forward. Tbh he's probably an upgrade on Tylar Young.

 

[Snake Charmer]

I could see Saad playing in the next few weeks. Will be interesting to see how he is used in the vfl this weekend. I suspect off half back but we have Davey in the ones doin not a great amount.. SEH could come in to his spot and play a similar role of chase and pressure

Didn’t u recruit Lual to play HB? Can’t see him being groomed for HB. Bombers have stax of em.

 

[blueiris]

I'm sure we picked him for a reason though. There must be something we see in him given we don't really need the depth.

Purely speaking for my SuperCoach team I seriously hope this doesn’t mean Zorko will be pushed to a wing and Beecken gets a HB role

 

[Ants]

There’s no difference when it comes to playing games during the season but the 2 v 1 year deals are still pretty significant. A lot of kids wouldn’t get picked if clubs had to hand them 2 year deals

That can be solved pretty easily though.
3 year deal picks 1-30
2 yr 31-60
1 yr 61+

Wouldn’t even need a rookie draft. Cat B and the pre season selections should stay though.

Or even easier (and better), still have the two drafts just the rookie draft is one year contracts. But both are senior listed.

 

[Ants]

Didn’t u recruit Lual to play HB? Can’t see him being groomed for HB. Bombers have stax of em.

And Roberts, although he’s been playing wing in the VFL. El-Hawli may very well play small forward.

Reading more on him, what was the knock to let him last? Just age and only half a season of performance? Or something else? Seems to tick all the AFL attribute list with no weaknesses and a number of strengths.

Lual is more small defender than aggressive flanker. Roberts playing a wing.

I think He will play back, forward and wing when needed. We don’t really have any half backs ready to play if someone was to go down

 

[juss]

Blight looks a very tidy pick and someone who will play AFL soon and have an impact.

Gray I will admit I know next to nothing about and given he's only just started playing state league footy from local footy a few months ago I would be stunned if he forged a career as an AFL player.

 

[The_General#1]

Lual is more small defender than aggressive flanker. Roberts playing a wing.

He had his hands full yesterday. The wizard was far too good for him.

Lual is further behind in his development. I know they're the same age but one went top 5 and the other near pick 40 for a reason.

He sure is. He’ll need to improve his speed and smarts if he’s going to be a small defender.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Hutchinson with 5 goals yesterday puts him squarely in the consideration of the match selection committee for West Coast.

 

[The_General#1]

A name that I didn’t hear during the MSD discussions was Sam Sofronidis. He was hot property in the pre season. Why wasn’t he a MSD prospect?

Injured I believe

Incredible. Good on him.

 

[Jeremias]

Cooper Lord confirmed as the latest member of the 2024 mid season draft class to debut at senior level.

Has been very impressive for Carlton at reserve level, and now gets an opportunity under difficult circumstances for the club.

 

[tiger_tough]

Blight had 32 disposals and 13 marks in the VFL on the weekend. He's had a great start to his career. Should play ones this weekend.

Fun fact a few of the North coaches would have played Lord in front of Phillips. Of course that wasn’t possible. Hope he goes well.
