I’m gonna be tuning into our vfl games next year, we’ve got a super team based on the draft we’ve just had.

Fergus O'Neil and Jackson Lately both have re signed now

Tyler Sellers (former North fwd) has also signed but will train over summer in an attempt to be an SSP signing)

Good little group coming together now
Fergus, the Victorian cricketer?
 
That takes us to;

Jarrod Eckersley
Cam Nyko
Jackson Hately
Xavier O'Neil
Charlie Offermans
Hammish Sinnot
Noah Scott
Ryan Brodie
Lachie Monteath
Ricky Monti
Matt Foley
Jack Peris
Solomon McKay
Mo Taha
Nic Quigg


wouldn't mind some VFL talls. The smalls look like not a bad group. Just need a Will Hoare announcement but wouldn't mind a VFL KPF to add to the mix. Eckersley is decent enough I guess

Want to keep Bailey Scott and Jack Jedwab if possible too.

If we re-sign those three and Sellers comes in on a VFL contract then we'll have 19 of our 25 signed early. Including all of our VFL core.

forgot about the Sellers acquisition. Jedwab is a solid shout out too.


How are we looking with VFL contingent mixed in with he AFL guys?

B. Jayden Nguyen - Lewis Hayes - Angus Clarke

Hb. Matt Foley - Will Hoare - Lual Luamon

C. Cam Nyko - Jackson Lately - Jack Hately

Hf. Archer Day Wicks - Tyler Sellers - Jack Peris

Fp. Jarrod Eckersley - Vigo Visentini - Jack Peris

R. Todd Goldstein - (2 of Shiel, Hobbs, Tsatas, Guelfi)


Haven't seen any of Offermans who is 25. Doubt hes coming down for development purposes. Nic Quigg played some VFL with GWS so should be up to the level. Bench filled with the rest. Unsure who else would get a best 23 spot. Maybe Solomon McKay who showed some good signs. Dito Bailey Scott as a VFL utility able to play across all three areas of the ground.
 
Some background on Offermans from when he joined Southport.
