    News 2026 AAMI Community Series

    The more this group gains continuity by playing together regularly they'll develop more cohesion when working as a unit. Expect the second half of the season to be stronger than the first. Good to see the midfield spread the load between Hewett, Cerra, Lord, Walsh and Smith. Bummer that Cerra...

    The following training report comes from a masked, banned member of the board whom I found clinging to a coconut drifting down from FNQ. I cannot claim any credit for the observations contained within and nor will I held to account for its contents. "Great day to get down to training, would...

    The biggest thing that's immediately noticeable is the amount of change to personnel, both coaching and playing. The second thing is that the rehab group is 3 4 players rather than 12. Be nice if it stays that way. One gets the sense that there is genuine depth to the list, which is a luxury we...

    Just a couple of notes. Most of the list is pretty healthy. Newman & O'Farrell doing some agility work, running and kicking. Providing he keeps his head down and bum up Lij will get a list spot. Enormous footy IQ. One of the standouts yet again today. Anyone who thinks Hewett isn't going to...

    "Apparently" rumour has it that Elijah is competing for a train-on position with the Crows.

    Analysis 2025 Draft watch

    LeRay was the other U18 All Australian winger for 2025. The other was Harley Barker. Can play in any part of the ground, dual-sided, tough enough. Would be capable of playing in and around the clearances and he puts on more size. No one is perfect when we reach this point of the draft.

    Lacks Pace??? Are you serious. Tested preseason at 2.88 for 20m!!!

    Analysis 2025 Draft watch

    I prefer Emmett & Hetherton over Ludowyke. Lemmy was projected as a top 10 prospect in his junior year so I'm more concerned that whoever we choose has competitiveness and another string to their bow. At least Emmett is more than capable in the ruck which provides options of being able to get...

    Analysis 2025 Draft watch

    So there's still some interesting prospects available. I wouldn't expect Norf to bid on Ison and I would've thought a KPD such as Threadgold would suit the Doggies down to a tee. If there are no bids on Ison before Pick 28 who would you like: Riley Onley 195cm Balanced Mid Louis Emmett 199cm...

    Analysis 2025 Draft watch

    I think we have enough HBFs already. Lindsay, while a beautiful kick is somewhat one-paced. We only have one genuine KPF and should he suffer another mental conniption or be injured we're cactus-stuffus. It's really hard to say how good a deal this was, because Does being able to trade Picks...

    Opinion Your 2026 R1 team

    I've done this without knowing whether any/all of Kemp, Newman or Smith will be available for Round 1 selection. It assumes everyone is ready to go, except for O'Farrell. B: Newman, Weitering, Saad HB: Cowan, Haynes, Florent C: Chesser, Cripps, Acres HF: Ainsworth, Kemp, Moir F: Evans, McKay...

    Hot Topic POLL: Who does Carlton draft with pick 9 & 11?

    I think many people will think I'll be reaching here, but I really like Louis Emmett. 200cm, Strong Mark, Gets off the Ground, Mobile, Pretty quick as a Leading Forward, More than capable Ruckman. Hands are wonderfully clean and he's not a beanpole which means get a couple of preseasons into him...
