...the players calling him Frankie. These two joined in the match sim during today's session. The club also signed Cooper Poole (GWS) and CooperVickery (Sydney), who were on AFL lists last year and may have been out there, along with a couple of others.
I was relieved like most to find out...

His signing also comes after he agreed to play with Victorian local club Rochester, meaning he will balance his...
That whole draft was a disaster
Owen the ruck played Footscray VFL this year and wasn’t anywhere remotely near it
Mcinerney isn’t anything more than a good ordinary player, he’s performed to where he was drafted
Vickery's story mirrors Konstanty's in a way. What could possibly have gone so wrong with these two players that we were prepared to part with them at the first opportunity to do so, and why did the recruiters not see whatever it was at the time of drafting if it was clear enough for the two to...
I really disagree with these assessments of our recruiting. Recruiting is an art not a science. They use a lot of data in their decision making (these days) but there is still a lot of projection and intuition. Note Kinnear Beatson's use of the word "potential" in his remarks about Cooper...
Like you, I struggled to see the logic in his selection. He was more a HB/winger type than a small lockdown defender. Another twig. At least Leidler has credentials as a lockdown defender and comes as a rookie, not a second round pick.
Shocking effort at the draft that year when the lowest pick...
I know his body's not even cold yet, but Vickery is still to date the weirdest selection I think I have ever seen. From the time his name was called out to the time he was delisted, his whole stint just felt like a weird fever dream. No one was moved when we selected him with a pick 27 (!!!), no...

Carter Michael Signed with Williamstown
Jack Bytel signed with Coburg
Hewago Oea doing pre-season with the Suns
You would expect a lot of announcements over the next few weeks across all clubs
And yes I'm at the bargaining stage after last night.
Though I did that with Konstanty and Vickery in 2022 (after hearing we thought Cooper could be a small defender).
Sydney took a MSD selection. Not sure if they had a spot free for that, or if there was an injured player put on the Inactive List. If the latter, then the MSD selection will use up a spot.

Passing on Dunkley continues to haunt them to this very day. He was/is exactly the type of big bodied mid they needed to take over from Kennedy when he retired. They have never really filled the Kennedy void since, which makes me smile every time. Doing the pick swap with Weddle is hilarious. If...

They are VERY fortunate to have that academy.
That’s a lot of names, who do you want if we are taking two?
I would rather we focus on players who have been delisted prematurely, say Hotton and Burgiel, its not common that players taken in the second round are cut so quickly, unless there is a few issues, I would rather take a chance on...
