[EnolaGay]

Looks like a good fit as a sub given his flexibility. Hindy will breathe a sigh of relief.

What's his decision making and kicking like?

 

[wichidi]

Reckon his nickname should be gripen. Supersonic fast and versatile. Or at the very least give him number 39.

Suspect he gets a VFL game straight away?

He’s being playing for the Bullants so I’d imaging straight into VFL this week

MY BOY! Shotgun, missed the draft.

That's not like you.

Geez that's a cracking photo!

 

[Keystone agony]

We passed on 18 month contract nominees that we preferred

Although im happy with this pick

It must be so surreal how quickly you’re thrusted into the AFL and how quickly the opportunity can pass you by! Hope he grabs the bull by both horns!

Geez that's a cracking photo!

I love the slippers!

I love the slippers!

So many different types of footwear, part of why the picture is great. Little man in front steals the show!

If we passed on them wouldn't it mean that we didn't prefer them?

In totality as a whole package but only because of the length of contract. Actually dont really rate the 18 month guy we were looking at

Who were we looking at?

this shows how badly we missing Dodoro’s expertise in the “welcome to the club” videos

 

[fairbump_playon]

That's good. Hopefully he can put the right foot forward and makes a real crack at it.

Isn’t he a left footer?

I think we can deduce from that video that his nickname is "Mate"

When you say 'we' preferred, do you mean that you preferred?

He's so stoked!

no

That’s my thoughts. There no way to know what our board looked like for this draft lol

 

[naraku]

Welcome Saad!
A potential Hind replacement down the track, how long or short that track is we will see.

I assume we'd all guessed as much, but might play VFL as soon as Sunday.
