I can tell you with absolute confidence and authority that McCrae has him in his best 22 right now. Whether that changes following the practice matches, who knows. But as it stands, we are preparing around Mason Cox being our main key forward next to Mihocek. It definitely makes you appreciate...

I agree that if Kelly is probably better suited to defence than McMahon...but i reckon a fair bit of it is just development for McMahon at this stage. He is probably behind Kelly and Kreuger in the pecking order, and has been usurped by Begg quickly as well. Plus there is Ash Johnson. So it's...

DaVe's Magpies. I came 97th last year. I have been in the Div 1 league the last couple of years. Do we get sent an invite link?

I'd love to be able to sit down with the list management team and get some detailed answers to some of the decisions from the past 3 years. I have absolutely no issue with taking a punt on Dayne Beams, and doing everything possible to retain quality players. We were a kick of a premiership, and...

This sounds harsh, but I reckon we were better without Mayne. It has shocked me in recent weeks to see him taking kick ins. He is a 30 metre kick, and doesn't necessarily play on with pace with ball in hand. So opposition defences can press up knowing it's just going to go 15 metres to the back...

Whilst I agree, it really shouldn't be the basis of judging Buckley. You can't expect a coach to pull a miracle with a depleted list and the obstacles presented with COVID. For me, the win/loss ratio isn't the determinative factor. I went into this year expecting it to be a down year. What i...

Must be Callow. Unless he just didn't interview well. On face value looks exactly what we need. I think gives our forward line a nice mix with Mihocek at 192cm, Callow at 195cm (and may grow an extra cm) and Cameron as third tall/backup ruck at 200cm+. I'm not against a small forward and think...

I think this is ultimately a good thing, and the timing is right. We are 2nd last on the ladder at the moment with countless off-field issues to deal with. Best to let this civil war happen now while we are at rock-bottom. Once the new board is duly elected, then it is incumbent on everyone to...

Look, i think we need to find out about a few guys on the list. Some decisions need to be made at the end of the year about a few guys that have been around for a while but haven't broken through. With Grundy out, Max Lynch should get a crack. If he can't come in with Grundy out, and Mason Cox...

On the one hand, we've been within striking distance in most games this year, including against top 5 sides like Doggies, Geelong and Port Adelaide. On the other hand, we haven't given ourselves an opportunity to win those games because we don't set up in a way that is going to kick a big...

I just hope our game style doesn't wreck his development. He strikes me as a naturally aggressive player who likes to run and kick. However, i have noticed in the past 2 weeks that he has been very cautious with his ball use, and always stops and goes over his mark. Would love him to...

Cal Brown has a dip, but ultimately is a liability with the ball and has missed some crucial opportunities at key moments this year. Yesterday was the final straw. That goal was so important and he missed it. It was somewhat concerning after the game to hear Buckley so content with the way we...

Hi guys, came 283rd last year, but have been Div 1 for as long as I can remember, having come 6th only 2 years ago and winning eliminator. Can I receive a league invite?

Jen, you are a superstar. I'm really enthused by the fitness of our list, and also the way our rookies have stepped straight in and are having a big impact. There seems to be an energy about the way we are training. However, some of the skills from those clips are horrendous. It's always going...

Riewoldt is 196cm too i believe

Knightmare will you be doing your "Hinesight, Knightsight, Hindsight" thread as you normally do. Really keen to get your thoughts on this draft.

I downloaded Twitter just for Jen's updates! Loving the photos and videos already. I'll join you one day soon Jen if I can get a day off work.

Any highlights of this kid? Seems to be the only one of the draftees that didn't get a video package on the website

I think some Kudos to the team for dusting themselves off after a month of huge criticism, and getting the job done last night. It really was a disaster of a trade period, both for the fact we lost quality players due to salary cap issues, but also for the terrible return we got for them. But...

Still would've been in significant deficit though wouldn't have we? And at the time of making the trade, we probably didn't know how late he'd go.

It really was a lot to give up for picks 30 and beyond. I know we don't need the future 1st next year, but it still would've been a very strong bargaining chip from a trade perspective. The future 2nd made sense to snare the points for Reef. Fair bit riding on Poulter and McMahon now to pay...

The next 3 months, Jen becomes the most important person in Australia for most of us with her weekly training reports! She doesn't miss much! Looking forward to another solid off-season from Jen this year. Going to be exciting to hear about all the new kids and how they are performing. I'll be...

I just feel we are a key defender light on the list. Would like a 'break glass in case of emergency' defender. Either a big bodied state league player, or Oscar McDonald. But we could perhaps look at bringing someone in mid-season if we have a few injuries.

Fair enough, but point still stands that he went from a potential top 20 to a top 3 pick on the back of a solid 2020 season...something that McMahon wouldn't have had the benefit of.

So am i correct in saying we have 37 senior listed players (can have a total of 38), 3 rookie (can have 4) and 2 cat B rookies. So 42 total on the list and can have 44. I have Noble, Ginnivan and Chugg as the rookies. I'm assuming that Magden and Keane have been promoted to senior list now...

Small forward was clearly a huge issue, and we seem to have addressed that via Mcreery, Ginnivan and Chugg. Small forwards are typically taken very late in the drafts, so we have drafted appropriately in that regards. Can't help but be a little dissapointed that we haven't address the key...

From what i understand, Logan McDonald was ranked fairly low, but made his move this year playing in the WAFL. So wonder how many players of a similar nature would have bolted, but were unable to play. At the end of the day, we needed one genuine KPP from this draft...so if the clubs ranks him...

Like many, I'm really happy with the night and excited to see so much youth coming through the doors. I don't think it's a "dream result", as no doubt we would have liked one of those highly rated talls. I was more hoping we'd use our future 1st to jump into the top 10, but then again none of...

That trade can only be judged in the future. Hoping we go Callow and Ford. Its a terrible trade on the surface, but could be a master-stroke if we get quality kids and get a FA next year that won't require a trade.

Of course he is guessing. Its a phantom draft! The whole premise of it is to guess how the draft will go.
