    A lot can change but looking at that top ten, minus Cochrane and walker who are club tied. I like our draft strategy this year more. A lot of key forwards or small fwd/mids options to fill our needs next year. If merret still wants to go a late teens picks and 2027 1st with us giving a 2nd...

    AFL Player 30: Nate Caddy - Reports of groin tightness, restricted training loads for a few weeks - 20/11

    I mean it's a long way from afl intensity but footage vision of him running, jumping and laughing today is surely a good sign. Its still early so hopefully just adjusting workloads. He does fly for everything from all angles and land quite awkwardly, a bit straight and 1 legged at times. so...

    Wright, mcmahon, Edwards, even langford just arent great at always fighting to make a contest and bring the ball to ground. It's positioning, endeavour, playing style and size. Morris does it. aerial competitor. Even durham and durrsma do it better than most of the taller players mentioned but...

    Happy with hea, not the speed but genuine small fwd need. Should get some games purely for team balance.

    May is the only one who's a genuine key fwd to pair next to caddy. The rest are better suited as third tall. Jones utility and I doubt Edwards and mcmahon are on the list next year. May might not either.

    Yep need some pace up fwd. Mcgrath or roberts might have to be used fwd at this rate.

    Hoping we drafted for needs a bit more with that pick as lack of big key fwd options and small fwds are big holes in the list at the moment. Small fwds at least 1 please. We also need pace.

    I think the most dissapointing thing about not matching sweid is more gresham next year. Not worth the deficit but hoping we could have got something for a future 3rd. 2027 second or something.

    AFL Player 37: Nic Martin - Re-injured ACL, see you in 2027 - 28/11

    Big difference between running straight lines and the gym as a starting point and running and snapping a footy on a oval as per the photo. Just suprised by the photo that's all. What month did he do the knee? I thought it was later in the year
