From Rookie me central.

VIC METRO 2.2 | 4.3 | 4.5 | 8.12 (60)
QUEENSLAND 4.3 | 6.5 | 10.7 | 12.8 (80)

GOALS:
Vic Metro: H. El Achkar 2, C. Duff-Tytler 2, J. Ison, T. McGuane, L. Dovaston, N. Canavan
Queensland: C. Collins 2, M. Hoy, D. Annable, Z. Uwland, J. Chambers, K. Coulson, M. Iverach, R. Geesu, O. Tanks, J. Murray, J. Harris

RMC BEST:
Vic Metro: O. Greeves, H. El Achkar, S. Grlj, F. Kneipp, T. Gresham, J. Ison
Queensland: D. Annable, D. Patterson, B. Addinsall, K. Coulson, C. Collins, Z. Uwland

At this rate, it's getting very close to where Queensland can have their own stand alone teams.

As their Allies replacement I'd like to see Papua New Guinea slot in. Footy is their thrid biggest sport behind rugby league and cricket and much bigger than what people here may imagine.

They did actually play in the 1979 Teal Cup (The national 17's back then) and footy hasn't gotten any smaller as they have it on their free to air TV. Obviously rugby league dwarfs the other contenders but even so.

Then in time we can work on getting Tassie to be stong enough to be stand alone. 5/6 years from now maybe.

One player I’d say was snubbed out of the best was Thomas Burton of the western jets. Had about 20 touches and 1 direct goal assist while rotating mid/half forward. He’s probably the best tackler in this year’s crop, got 2 frees for holding the ball and he also lined up on Dan Annable in the centre a few times.

Won’t there be some sort of language barrier?

Won’t there be some sort of language barrier?

Well, not really. A lot of PNG kids speak English and surprisingly their pidgin lengua is kinda easy to understand once you figure it....but hey......I'm talking as a PNG cricket fan

Mate, please tell me WA isn't fielding a team in this exhibition indulgence?

This is business time. PSA has ended. Teams are at full strength or near as barring injury.

There is a WAFL flag to be won.

People can watch all the WA 2025 players live on stream.

This stuff can happen the week after the grand final.

Should’ve been playing league footy last year.

 

[EricCartman]

Half time at the Central Districts vs Glenelg game. Dyson Sharp has 4 disposals, 2 clearances, 2 r50’s and lead the game in tackles with 8.

 

[EricCartman]

He’s just kicked his first goal, they’ve seemed to move him into a forward or mid position.

Having some quarter lol

 

[Thunderstruck]

First half he was given a more defensive role, but third term was released into the middle and he put them on his back and was the difference. 14 touches 10 tackles 6 clearances and 1.1.Not bad, stood up when needed and team came from 0.5 at half time to win

 

[Yoda_]

Thoughts on Adam Sweid?

Type of player, prospects? third game back locally and kicked a bag so expecting the 2025 prospect to have a potential Cannons call up

Cooper Duft Tytler had a breakout performance with 30 touches and 2 goals.
Other notable bottom agers performances are McGuane and Burton for Western with 28 and 26 disposals a piece. Louis Emmett had 2 goals, 28 disposals and 20 hit outs. Jack Dalton had 25 disposals and 1 goal.

That Chargers tall of yours Louis Emmett looks a very special talent, where you predicting he goes next year?

I haven’t really given next years order much thought yet, he is very athletic a good size and good footy craft so I imagine he would be highly sought after.

 

[EricCartman]

He’s so good.
