I did.
geez, How disappointing broadbeach were. Believing their own hype? I could smack their heads together.

Ripper game it was too!

Ripper game it was too!

Both teams playing for a finals spot so was to be expected especially with the form NA where in aswell. Would love to see Horne come back down to play 18s in the finals now that they have Dumesny, Kraemer and the likes back in.

I liked the game of South Ruck Verrall, he's an under ager too isn't he?

Even younger, 2022 I believe along with Keeler, Downing and Bennier for NA. SA might get Magor and Snelling back in who are also 2022.

Thought Cook was just OK today even though he hit the scoreboard.

Could have had a far diff game if he converted. He's one that always keeps you guessing/wondering what is he gunna do, you can be left empty or it comes in a rush

Thought Cook was just OK today even though he hit the scoreboard.

Played pure FF where he usually does his most damage, SA don’t really have many star key forward targets to kick too so he is pretty much it, also thought Arlo Draper was wasted a bit as another semi tall target as he has been their in form mid in the last month or so.

I’m not 100% sure but I believe the AFL has had a big say on it.

Brooke Brown if my memory serves me right was formerly GWV Rebels Welfare Officer so she's had an upgrade at the Bendigo Pioneers, very highly thought of in that role.

Fair old shake up..good get for the Knights.

 

[missionpossible]

I am surprised South haven't tried Flett at Full forward this year.

 

[Bastyy]

Is Cooks accuracy for goal a problem at all? I notice this week he had 2.5 and one week he had 5.5

Anything in that?

 

[SumTingWong]

N. Cox to me just looks way too skinny to be taken as early as it looks like he will. Doesn't have a big frame to fill into. Looks like another Liam McBean.

I'm assuming you're going off his build as an underage player last year? It's hard to make these calls without seeing them this year but I believe his dad was pretty solid so that's often a good sign.

I'm just going off the footage available which is of course from last year. He would have to have had an extreme change in physique to be considered anything other than a bean pole

Kinda reminds me of this former 1st round draft pick build wise...

shorter and similar weight to Reid who is talked about as a KPD/ruck.

Will Day is not going to be playing on the 200cm 100kg gorilla KPF/KPD's though is he?

agree he will be a bean pole

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Does anyone know the backstory of Daniel fahey-sparks. 22 year old 196cm ruck forward who is regularly appearing in the best players for sturt. His profile has chb as his favourite position. Too short for an afl ruck but maybe as a tall defender. Looks pretty solid, fit and aggressive. Port needs a ready to go tall defender with some upside.
