Looks like we're only taking 2 in the MSD and leaving the other 2 for the ND as Ooze mentioned in his presser.
a ruck and tall forwardNeed a ruck who can catch the ball...is that too much to ask???
Did his chances no harm yesty with 11 marks 4GWould love to give Archie May a go has so much upside for a 19 year old 195 athletic FULL Foward..
Played on Sam weiderman yesterday from reports , 11 marks is a fair effort for 4G ,,,, I dunno how far away he’d be , he dies tho take a good clean mark and a decent kick ,,,,I reckon more chance of impacting afl than RyanMay is two seasons away and is quite slow and has a poor tank at this stage of his career. He looked better yesterday with so many entries and a poor opponent. He struggles to take contested marks and a lot of his goals are joe the gooses. He’s high risk at this stage as he looks way below Kosi levels. I think we should go for Howes , Garner and Davidson as they are ready to play at the level.
I’m not saying May won’t make it, but he’s a long way off and a bigger risk to fail.
Sam looked way off and not the player he once was, but I just think he’s a long work in progress. Ryan is really underwhelming atm and it wouldn’t take much to be than him. I hope you’re right with May, but he hasn’t impressed me so far.Played on Sam weiderman yesterday from reports , 11 marks is a fair effort for 4G ,,,, I dunno how far away he’d be , he dies tho take a good clean mark and a decent kick ,,,,I reckon more chance of impacting afl than Ryan
I think the issue is players puttung 18 months on their contracts or something akin to this.Johnny Ralph said will could have 6 picks in next week's mid year draft.
but Yze said we will most likely only use 1-2 picks.
Why?? Fjen use all of them and find at least 1 gem and *smile* off the rest.
Collingwood won the flag and brought in 2 or 3 new kids at the start of the year.
I'm calling tommorow

Meaning you lose ND picks with every mid season draft pick taken in the MSD unless you are prepared to cut the list really deep or yopu only draft blokes happy to sign for 6 months or wahtever.
The higher rated prospects will put longer terms on them like Bauer did.
Coulthard only was on short term need 2 - or 3 blokes at lesser lengths.
That way you can cut them easy if they are no good.
Makes total sense. It's a free hit within this window of opportunity. These are spots open due to LTIL. Not as if we can carry them to the ND. I'm not sure what the salary implications are though. We may be in a pickle with all the injuries and extra player payments.Graigy
The player chooses to select 18month contract or 6 months.
Over 400 kids have nominated.
Pick 6 of the best contested marking kids who have selected 6 months.
We need to find a Milocheck
Kid even got to play Grigga ruckman against Essendrugs. Poor Brindle n Davo looked like a couple of shaved down pencils trying to ruck against the Essendrugs ruckmen. Got smashed in the ruck contests but were pretty handy around the ball as way more mobile n agile.From yesterday's seconds match the player that showed the most AFL traits was Davidson.
Nice size, good pace, good endurance, can mark it and kick it.
I'd be very happy if we took him with our first selection.
Unless Blair has other ideasLooks like we are only taking 1 to 2 players per Ooze,'s presser
I don't get it, are we gonna retain the majority of the existing list? And if so, WHY?!Looks like we are only taking 1 to 2 players per Ooze,'s presser
