List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026
Good call - Broad was also very raw when he came into the system and somewhat of a surprise selection as he probably wasn’t even a top WAFL player at the time. I was living in WA at the time when he was drafted and followed the WAFL quite a bit so was suprised when we grabbed him. The two... -

List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026
As far as I'm aware we have 43 players on the list comprising 38 senior listed with 4 rookies and 1 cat B rookie. We already know that Broad is done at the end of the year so we need 2 more list spots from the senior list to be opened up. I believe that Trezise will either need to be upgraded or... -

Player Watch #36 James Trezise
He also came to the program quite late and didn’t go through the traditional pathways. He’s a strong one on one player and decision making has improved. Being a lefty helps his chances. I’m not sure he’s got a huge amount of development left but if he’s able to build consistency (like he’s... -

Player Watch #40 Tyler Sonsie
I think the issue Sonsie has is he's a creative player with good vision but not particularly good skills (especially kicking). I would think that it served him well all through his junior years and he came into the team playing the same way. When he first started for us we had much stronger... -

Player Watch #22 Sam Cumming
He’s definitely a bit reactive at times without the ball in his hands but I’m confident he’ll rectify that in time. Being an elite mid requires intense focus at all times - this is where Jack Ross has stepped up his game this year to become a genuine two way mid. Sam has all the tools to do the... -

List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026
Yeah I don’t think we can undervalue a natural goal kicker. For a side that doesn’t kick many goals, recruiting players who can consistently hit the scoreboard is a must, it’s a skill that can’t be trained - some guys just have it. I think the fact he was late getting to the traditional pathway... -

List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026
I imagine the club is backing the current playing list (whether right or wrong) and only taking 1 player to not spread development resources too thin. Loading up with more speculative talent sends a few messages to the current group as well as potentially distracts from that development. I’m ok... -

Player Watch #22 Sam Cumming
He reminds me a lot of Cal Ward although I think he has a touch more pace. Great movement and vision through traffic, tough as nails. Clearly needs a couple of good preseasons as he still looks like a junior, but I see why we rated him so highly. -

Player Watch #2 Jacob Hopper
In all honesty I think the only way we could offload Hopper would be if we were to attach a draft pick and pay out his salary (seems unlikely). I think the best case scenario is that he stays and gets pushed out when others return. He's actually not too old to reinvent himself and the VFL would... -

Game Day Round 8 v WCE Optus Stadium Saturday May 2nd 4.15pm
OHB resembles more of an AFL player in his 1 game and half a quarter than Ryan has in his whole career. -

List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026
Toner "looks" like an AFL player with the way he moves and (generally) his disposal. Lack of real production is a concern, he's also slight of frame and undersized for a key forward. There aren't a lot of genuine good mid sized forwards in AFL, the best comparison for his ceiling I can think of... -

Opinion Is It Time?
Taranto, Prestia and Hopper as a midfield trio doesn’t work with the modern game. Taranto is a first hand to the ball player, he is elite at this and his in close contest work. He’s also a very handy forward (which is what he was drafted as) so I think he has a lot of value still going forward... -

Player Watch #8 Jonty Faull - Concussion - Back Round 14
I think we should give him a run in the backline where he has experience around him (Miller, Short, Broad, Vlastuin) and push Balta forward. This will hopefully just let him get the ball in his hands a bit more, ideally he'd play at VFL level and kick some goals but I think as he's already... -

Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor - Achillies Injury - Return Round 16-18
Long time lurker but first time poster. Anyway, just my thoughts but I think Lalor reminds me of some sort of cross between Gary Ablett Jr and Robbie Gray. He's an old school footballer learning how to be an athlete. His impact on contest is already the best in our team and I just hope that we... -

Strength Weight/Athletic Training: AFL
Military press probably caused the most discomfort out of lifts, with the only other noticeable pain coming from doing high reps of deadlifts & cleans (which is obvious). Situps seemed to be the killer, although apparently my technique is sound. I think the lifts has to do with technique...- Words: 340
