    Autopsy Roast & Toast v Saints & Changes For Essendon

    Great player, but mind blowing that Vlastuin would make that tackle, knowing how important it is that we don’t lose yet more players. Anyway on the upside if we get top up players , will get the chance to see how they go before the mid season draft.

    List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft aka TMH Watch

    Can we forget the draft this year? Other than number 1 pick and f/s academy, we can’t afford to bring in more kids who may not make it for whatever reason. We will have multiple retirements at the end of the year leaving what? : a bunch of inexperienced kids some of whom may not end up coping...

    List Mgmt. Not feeling great about this rebuild…

    The problem we now have is that with two key pillars of our draft strategy (Gigcus and Smilie ) in jeopardy and so many others in long term injury, we just won’t be able to develop quickly enough to be competing for anything other than the Spoon for the foreseeable future. Surely that means the...

    Father & Son & Academy Prospects

    What I,m saying I suppose is that if there are better players available, we take them first , meaning there aren’t enough list spots available for all three. Depends on how many list spots we have I guess. What I think it may mean is that we may not take anyone in this year’s mid season draft.

    Father & Son & Academy Prospects

    So I’m assuming there won’t be room for all three of Armstrong,/Leys/ Daffy? Just our luck after decades of drought of academy / f/s we have a year where are too many of them

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade/Free Agency Discussion Pt 1

    I wasn’t particularly impressed by Amartey until this year. But seems to have taken big steps . Quick and now imposing physical presence , can take contested marks and good kick. Is now out of contract. Sydney won’t be able to afford matching a good offer. Won’t cost us anything draft wise...

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    So if fears for Trainor are correct, from our much vaunted draft haul of 2024 -7 young guns -we have one player (Lalor)who is not suffering a long term injury. and he has had his own battles through last year. Crikey.

    Player Watch #30 Tom Brown - Broken Arm - Return Round 14-15

    Reluctant to criticize individual players in our current situation. Also not critical of drafting him in 2021 even though I think he was taken ahead of Wangadeen M . Tall , good runner and raking kick . Made very promising start to career. Like so many other younger players on our list atm...

    Expectations for 2026

    Can’t see how we don’t finish last. Will be satisfied with just one win. How the club didn’t see this ruck catastrophe coming and do something about it 2/3 years ago is beyond me. Lack of competitive ruck also puts our development back. Players are on the back foot the whole time can’t put game...

    PreSeason V Melbourne Friday February 27th 4.10pm Ballarat

    If we won the clearances and we were thrashed by a bottom half team, what happens when we lose the clearances? We are at a stage where there are just so many deficiencies it’s hard to know where to start. Endless string of injuries to the younger players and poor/ unlucky drafting over the...

    Preview Community Shield v Melbourne Mars Stadium Ballarat Friday February 27th 4.10pm

    The score not so much the issue so long as it isn’t a complete blow out. But really want to see some decent transition from defence. We have young talent and excitement machines who will thrive on fast play. If we have to endure another season of long kicks to contests down the flanks - will be...

    Player Watch #27 Noah Roberts-Thomson - Debut Round 10

    2025 - AFL Draft Pick 38

    Kickett highlights ( only one game of colts I can find) look great . 4 goals , but from only 6 possessions. Hopefully club has done the work on him. Time trial at the combine apparently not good. Not to say he might not become something. But strikes me as a bit speculative and the type of...

    List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

    We should get another good mid with our first pick, whether it be Robey, Sharpe, Cumming , Grlj. But I would be disappointed if we don’t take X Taylor at 4 . Perfect replacement for Vlastuin . There will be another quality mid we can bring in next year.
