Can we please stop talking abut Ben.

I mean what with his substance abuse issues and serious degenerative back problems that don't allow the kid to get fully fit its extremely unlikely he will make it. Oh well at least we got Jack lets be thankful for that.

I tried rotating my wife's laptop, but she didn't like me balancing it on its side.

Don't think we will get away with hiding Ben like we did Jack.

May as well trade our 2018 first for a player then just use the rest of our picks to get Ben

Except I say idjiot.

 

[ferrisb]

Except I say idjiot.

I did notice that, but felt petty pointing it out.

And I should know, I'm probably the most common recipient of it

Give yourself an uppercut.
I'm sure there are children who read this forum.

Kid's coming from a long way back.

Kid's coming from a long way back.

I've heard that he doesn't even like football. Prefers watching Peppa Pig, picking his nose, playing with his sister and little brothers and posing for Instagram pics with his mum.
Seems to have gone off the rails a bit.
Does have a better kicking action than Levi though.

 

[Weiterbot23]

I agree it's probably too early to know exactly where in the top 5 he will go.

If they have the courage & work ethic of their father, they will make it.

Hickmott boys are over in WA due to Adrian's job at WCE, with both playing for Sorrento-Duncraig JFC & Subiaco Colts. Wil played 4 games for Subi, while Liam managed 13.

Liam listed as 176 cm, 67 kgs and in the bests 2 times; Will in the bests on debut only. Looks like both were playing small defensive roles, and were fairly outside with their run (low marks, tackles, I50s, but decent possession numbers).

Hopefully they come on again, but it wasn't a good year for Subiaco, with just the one win all season. Their local team was in the hunt with 8 from 14 and a top 4 finish, but the top 3 had 13, 12 and 12 wins respectively.

176? Crikey, he must be still growing. And why not? Cripps has grown another cm since I started typing and don't forget other anomalies like Lance being 17 for almost a decade.
