    Player Watch #18: Wil 'Shotgun' Dawson - Extends to end of 2026

    Anyone know what his official height is these days? I'm not sold on his career prospects as a genuine ruckman. However, I do like it on the front that he gets his hands on the footy, gets to show his physical intensity and can play with a bit more freedom. People have to remember he is still...

    Past #14: Trent Dumont - delisted end '21 - 113 NM games/26 NM goals - 2019 NM VCapt - thanks Froggy

    Surprised he has come back. Didn't think he was really happy with how he was treated over the last 12-18 months at North. Pretty sure that was all Noble related though. So, I guess water under the bridge and all that.

    Preview 2026 MSD Draft Prospects

    Very likely that Tarrant gets picked too. A few clubs desperately needing Key Forward depth.

    Preview 2026 MSD Draft Prospects

    Jackson Voss from Frankston looks likely to be taken in the MSD. Plenty of suitors looking for half back depth. I've always liked him, tough, reliable defensively and a good ground level player.

    He showed plenty in the intra club practice matches.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    Gruz doesn't really play as a traditional key forward though. Even on the weekend in the VFL he was more of a lead up 3rd tall type rather than someone who is going to lock down CHF. So he'd be competiting with Whitlock (until he fills out) Duurs and Zurhaar for that 3rd tall type role...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    I don't see the upside with Gruzewski myself. Suffers from the same issues as Duursma in that he can't find the footy at AFL level.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    While I'd love Weitering.... I highly doubt any club would completely blow up their list leading into the compromised Tassie drafts If they were to arseh*le Weitering it leaves them with Lewis Young, Harry O'Farrell (coming off an ACL), Nick Hayes, Wade Derksen and Harry Dean as their key backs...

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma

    I feel personally attacked. 'they don't use me' was my main justification for averaging 5.5 disposals adn 0.5 tackles per game across the last 4 years of my footy career. Thinking back though, the justification had no basis considering I spent more time on the bench than on the field :laughing:

    Player Watch #31: Josh Goater - Got through a full game of VFL, 12 disposals, post his quad strain layoff

    fingers, toes and balls crossed that the Goat can have an extended run at it. If he and Hards can get fit it totally transforms our backline.

    Preview 2026 National Draft Thread

    Clancy Snell would be priority number 1 for me if we take our first rounder to the draft. I already have him rated at 8 but I reckon he could push the top 5 if he has a big carnival. I personally think he is going to end up being the highest rated key defender in this draft. He is a beautiful...

    Player Watch #13: Charlie Spargo

    Same. He hasn't shown that level of defensive desperation on any sort of consistent basis since Melbourne's premiership year, so his game on the weekend was a welcome surprise.

    Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussions vs ..sigh... Geelong at the f**king bowling alley

    Cameron is the big watch. We don't really have anyone who can stick to the task of minding him. I hope FOS goes to Smith. Smith turns the footy over something chronic when he is under pressure so that will be key in us being in the game.

    Preview 2026 National Draft Thread

    That might impact us this year with potentially all of McCartney, Harris, Devine and Bula being available to us. May end up losing one or two if we get bids earlier than expected. Nice that clubs can no longer hoard 5 late second rounders to get a top 5 pick though! That’d be fair and...
