[Jhye Clark 13]

There's a nice listen on Jhye Clark on the AFL site. Oozes class on the field and leadership on and off it.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Technically, yes...

The following image is a map of the region covered under the 'Melbourne Metro' flag - and say you work in Werribee, you won't get the Geelong Cup public holiday but you do fall into the region that gets the Melbourne Cup public holiday as they're considered part of Melbourne

That map must be outdated because both Melton and Sunbury are classified as Metropolitan Melbourne.

Pure_Ownage what do you estimate our pick 58 coming down to?

 

[longtimecat]

If Clohesy goes undrafted he automatically goes onto our cat b rookie list.

Riccardi is in the same boat but goes onto the main rookie list

We won't be using any of our two selections on either.

Thanks, I am unclear of all the draft rules.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I guess the club is taking a punt that they'll be overlooked by the other 17 clubs.

I do know both have their heart set on Geelong.

49 maybe even down to 47

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

49 maybe even down to 47

Hopefully Lemmey lasts until then.

8 - Clark
47 - Lemmey

I'll party for two days.

I also just used my experience with what's happened at work recently - I work in Geelong, but there's a few in the management team who live between Werribee & Melbourne

On Geelong Cup day, those who lived in Geelong had the day off as a public holiday while the Werribee -> Melbourne crew worked. For the Melbourne Cup public holiday it was the reverse situation

That's strange. Usually it's where your place of work resides that determines the public holiday you take.

I'd be happy to slip back and select my favourite player in this draft with the biggest upside that being Olli Hotton who should be there in the 14-20 range.
FWIW plenty of teams willing to part with plenty to slot into Pick 7 IMO.
Can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

I think it was something they wanted to trial this year to see how it would go

I want Clark. I'd only drop back if he's gone.

He has Jimmy Bartel written all over him..

He'll be up North(Suns) or at Glenferrie i'd say.
Don't think the Bombers will take him.

Let's see what transpires.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I'd love to get my hands on Charlie Clarke too. He's a gem.

I guess I can't have them all.

Werribee is "metro"?

Werribee was a town about 34 years ago, became a city in 1988, and has been connected by continuous housing/industry to the Melbourne sprawl maybe 15 years ago tbh.

 

[CatRiot]

My recollection of the Prismall trade is that he was very disappointed to be asked to go. We needed the good pick to land Ottons and Brent paid the price. I feel if the club hand not pressed he wouldf have remained a Cat. Obviously it worked out extrodinarily well for Geelong. So I see that one and club driven, not the player.

Prismall's mum was a diehard cats fan, and I'm not sure the boys were because their Dad was a Kanga's supporter. But he had a little brother that was an absolute gun CHF as a junior and probably had better upside than Brent, but for some reason or rather he never made it. Might have given the game away by 18 or so.

87.

Once we get past the initial panic of not picking who everyone expects we'll all be fine.

It happens every year, posters freak out, wish we had picked so and so, and by the end of the week we love the new guy and embrace him as our own and forget the alternative even exists.

Of course aside from the never ending Grundy conversation..

ducks for cover

.......but it usually ends up okay.

Jaxon Binns, hello. Need some outside hard runners that can bang some goals. We saw what happened once we brought Isaac Smith into our team, just changed the dynamics. Been saying this for the last decade, we were short of one pacey outside mid for the entire period of 2012 to 2020. We would've had a flag then had we had one more.

 

[CatRiot]

87.

Yeah, you may be right there. Around then.

Rhys played in a forward pocket for Vic Metro in 2006 next to Tomahawk. Didn't get drafted and played local footy for various clubs in the years after.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Generally I don’t like the idea of us drating a Falcon with out first pick due to our poor track record, but I’m 100% in on Clark.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Getting work in early are some of the new recruits
