Not a Psycho
Senior List
On a draft related note, Dan Annable is going to get Lachie Neale comparisons all year.
Playing more outside minutes in the futures game but his stoppage craft is next level. Really good body work to not just get to the ball first but manoeuver his direct opponent out of the way. He's not relying on being stronger or more explosive, just really smart reading of the play and basic fundamentals with his body work.
On top of that he's a one touch player with elite hands. His kicking is accurate but a little loopy, but that's the sort of thing that gets ironed out in a professional environment.

Cannot have the big clubs ever fall down the ladder for too long.
Need to adjust the FIXture to make sure they rise
then adjust the Umpires to help that
I do find it interesting that they allow Eagles to fall so hard.. $$ in WA must not be as much

Annable looks really good. Such a natural
Fewer Western Australians at AFL HQ.
not quite - there needs to be rewards for those clubs finding and developing talent from outside the normal AFL pathways. As it is the AFL are more and more saying when it gets to draft night - all clubs are equal no matter if your just living off your percentage of the TV rights or your out in the communities spending real cash to develop new talent. With Tasmania coming in we have to find another 40 or so top line players without the overall standard dropping.

I hope at least half a dozen of last year’s academy crop who missed out are doing preseason with the team, along with 2025 draft hopefuls; Ben Lillico, Harrison Bridge, Raphael Geesu, Jack Harrison and Isaac Waller.

I blame Glenn Bartlett for settling his lawsuit against the Demons. Please go back to telling Mick which Demons players take drugs.

All the Lions need is for next years draft haul to be 10% better than the 2024 three selections.

Some more Annable for you guys

Daniel Annable is a tough and strong inside mid with some outside flair. Well developed and mature for his age which allowed him to thrive at the Champs as a bottom ager, Annable seems likely to follow Sam Marshall in graduating from the Lions Academy to their first team, quite possibly via a bid in the first round of the 2025 draft.
