[EricCartman]

I really don't get the hype with Archie Ludowyke. I like Richmond's draft hand.

 

[Jen2310]

Mcguane will be playing local finals now Jets are finished.
Slotting straight into the Keilor semi final lol Wonder how some of the Keilor players feel about that.
He also said he can kick on both feet, prides himself on it. Even though it gets mentioned he is a left footer.

Very balanced selection mate. Nice to see the whole of Australia in a list.

 

[EricCartman]

Mcguane will be playing local finals now Jets are finished.
Slotting straight into the Keilor semi final lol Wonder how some of the Keilor players feel about that.
He also said he can kick on both feet, prides himself on it. Even though it gets mentioned he is a left footer.

How did Keilor lose that game? McGuane got 1 goal and wasn’t named in the best. I reckon he and Burton will carry Western into not last place.

 

[Jen2310]

How did Keilor lose that game? McGuane got 1 goal and wasn’t named in the best. I reckon he and Burton will carry Western into not last place.

Not sure.
Keilor lost a couple games lately now strangely. First time they lost v Pascoe Vale this year. But watching the replay, Pascoe Vale were the better side and deserved the win.
It'll be mostly a two boy band for Jets next season with those two basically being the ones that have to lead that team.
Hopefully he has a big preseason and builds up a little physically going into next year.

 

[markm106]

Ah-Mu kicked 3 for stingrays. He’s a massive unit. Dees might finally get some NGA luck after missing out on Andrew.

 

[bulldogs201616]

Shaping up to be a pretty good draft this one. Some of the talls are already showing plenty and I think Sharp has generational talent written all over him.

My current top 10:

1. Dyson Sharp
2. Archie Ludowyke
3. Louis Emmett
4. Riley Onley
5. Cooper Duff-Tytler
6. Fred Rodrieguez
7. Tarion Ah-Mu
8. Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves
9. Oliver Greaves
10. Cody Curtin

No Duursma?

 

[Thunderstruck]

It’s Sharp time!

At the game again, very big ask against the Redlegs today but they still get another go next week against Glenelg if they lose (likely)

 

[EricCartman]

Dyson is too good for state league level get him in the afl now. He ended the quarter with 9 touches, 1 behind, 2 clearances and 2 tackles. He’s getting BOG in the GF at this rate.

 

[TBM]

Sharp #1 ranked player on the ground at QT in the semi-final. Kid's a freak.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Great first term. Then for some reason spent the first 7minutes of the second on the bench. Playing the same half forward role again. Would still love to see him in the middle as Norwood really got on top there in the second.

 

[EricCartman]

Someone smack some sense into the coaching staff. I’m actually gobsmacked. Put your best midfielder in the middle.

 

[danster168]

Ah-Mu kicked 3 for stingrays. He’s a massive unit. Dees might finally get some NGA luck after missing out on Andrew.

The AFL will change the rules again before we get anyone decent. Then change them back again.

 

[EricCartman]

I’m pretty sure this will not be the last we see of Sharp this year, the u18’s team have made the GF.

 

[tigs2010]

I’m pretty sure this will not be the last we see of Sharp this year, the u18’s team have made the GF.

Don't the seniors have a PF?

 

[EricCartman]

Don't the seniors have a PF?

Well they did just lose the semi-final. Unless it works differently in SANFL I believe they’re out.

 

[Jen2310]

Well they did just lose the semi-final. Unless it works differently in SANFL I believe they’re out.

Going by last years sanfl finals.
Crows lost the semi, then played in the prelim.

Norwood advances into the GF, maybe Central plays off in the prelim?

[tigs2010]

They were in the good semi. They play winner of other semi being Glenelg. Winner gets the right to be slapped by Norwood lol

 

[EricCartman]

They won’t get slapped if they play Sharp in the mid.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

The AFL will change the rules again before we get anyone decent. Then change them back again.

Changing rules and back again is in their constitution.

 

[Thunderstruck]

They won’t get slapped if they play Sharp in the mid.

He should play some mid but I cannot see us beating the Bays. Norwood V Glenelg GF will be the two strongest sides.

 

[Yoda_]

Good list Haggas

Just a quick shout out to Adam Sweid who have returned from ACL's. Sweid in had kicked 17 goals in his first 5 games back at U18 level locally. Keen to see him develop in 2025 as an NGA for us

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

When are we getting teams for the futures game pre GF?
