Mid season Draft

Is there a reason Lachie Street’s name isn’t mentioned ? He’s so consistent in the VFL, surely wouldn’t be out of place in the firsts.

Big write up in today's Hun about Matty Elliott's young bloke Will. 202cm agile forward / ruck. Was in Oakleigh's junior squad then missed a year of footy due to covid, then a year due to a knee. Captained their side as an over ager n missed out in the draft. Playing for Preston Bullants at the moment, a stand alone VFL club that gets flogged on a regular basis, but he seems to be playing some decent footy.
Still only 19 going on 20 this year, would be the type of player prospect that would suit developing up through mid season or rookie drafts especially in comparison to trying out Basketball lumps that have never played footy as Cat B prospects.

Maybe something left field and grab a couple of basketballers
Already tried that a few times for a total input of absolute zero from the last two selections. One of them is probably costing us shitloads of medical expenses.

You're right....how does this guy's name not get mentioned as a prospective AFL player?
Someone will pick him up, if he continues his good form.

Basketballers? Pfft. Who has ever heard of a former basketballer making it as a footballer?
I heard of one who came off the cat b rookie list and won a flag.
Big lug of a fella and had played baskeyball.
Forget what happened to him but did alright. Big tache too.

Actually there was another who also played at Port and won a flag back on 2004.

Maybe lightning will strike 3 times?
 
There has been a suggestion that North are looking at Mutaz in the MSD. It was also mentioned on the talking tigers podcast.
