Just keep trading next year’s first into this year in live trading every year. SimplesNot sure why we wouldn't look to match a bid. If he's rated in the 2nd round and we've offloaded all our picks to match a bid on Daicos, he essentially becomes another free hit.
Be interesting to see what jockeying we do during the trade period and draft day given we've traded our 1st round pick already.
If he was given the option and no assurances, it'd be a pretty easy choice for Dib if he wants to maximise his chance of getting drafted. Playing NAB with his peers where everything is recorded and watched closely by AFL recruiters. Or playing against men, where he may struggle initially in the comp with some exposure and end up playing for whoever his local team is - where nobody is watching.
Sometimes, but if a short prospect who was only moderately rated hasn't played for 12 months and then can't get a touch playing in the VFL - are you going out of your way to watch him and only him in a local league, rather than watching 15 prospects running around playing NAB? He'd want to have a blinder the time somebody turned up.If a player is worth watching then clubs will find a way to get to see them. Look at Sier.
Both Daicos and Dib have early birthdays. Daicos is a matter of weeks younger than Reef. Dib is more solidly built than some of our senior players. If our draftees are ready for VFL footy then those boys should be too.The kids who play seniors in those state leagues are getting picked because they're ready for seniors in that league. If they're not ready they play reserves or underage. Who knows where Dib fits in terms of VFL readiness - but he doesn't have a reserve of underage option in Collingwood's VFL - thus unless certainly ready for VFL seniors, he needs to be at another club.
They’d all be there to watch Daicos anyway. He’d get the exposure.Sometimes, but if a short prospect who was only moderately rated hasn't played for 12 months and then can't get a touch playing in the VFL - are you going out of your way to watch him and only him in a local league, rather than watching 15 prospects running around playing NAB?

Anybody know what time the game starts against Geelong on Friday. I have heard it will be streamed online if you are a member but no idea on time. Thank you
Yep, but a lot of draftees do struggle in their first year of VFL. If Dib struggled, he probably wouldn't become a draftee. I just think he's got a better chance of showing his potential in u18. I think he's more likely to be drafted if he goes that route.Both Daicos and Dib have early birthdays. Daicos is a matter of weeks younger than Reef.

Surprise surprise.....Before I do my report. Mayne copped a falcon and prob resulted in a concussion. Had to get help off the ground. Looked a bit dazed.

Nothing Changed There.Mcmahon and kelly played key forwards for the same team but the delivery to them was poor so neither had any impact
Would we be fully committed to Dib yet? Unless we're fully committed, it'd be unfair on him. He needs to play the standard that is the best chance of him getting drafted, which I suspect is NAB against his peers.
Absolutely, but some overage Vic kids request an extra year of u18s to improve their chances of getting drafted. Does anyone ever skip under 18s and play senior footy to improve their chances? I've not heard of it happening.Having said that good performances against grown men playing a higher standard of footy at VFL level would do nothing but improve his prospects.
I’d be surprised if it wasn’t just for Members, the way the club treats its supporter base is a disgrace. They take us for granted and do sweet FA for us except throwing out a few trinkets to sooth the masses. The pies are like Scotty from marketing all talk and very little to show.I knew some clubs are doing it for members only but didn’t think we were one of them. But I’d say late afternoon given there is a aflw game at cats park in the evening
