So Walsh is apparently keeping up with E Curnow in repeat sprint drills. Pretty ******* impressive. Looks set to play on the wing. If the play opens up this year due to the new rules and top runners have an advantage, could he be worth it at 207k? Knows how to find the ball and should get space if he's playing outside mid. Anyone tempted?
He's the only rookie :padlock: in my team

After Spudshaw and Spewniacke last year its a very strong no from me. However he does have like 30% ownership so alot jumping on.

One tackle from Dusty in Rd 1 and it's curtains. There's not much of the kid

If not already posted... Can Blues also theoretically grab Stack if Tiges don't? Would have the spots to accommodate both, I guess.
The answer to this would be yes ....I still think there's some manipulation of the new rules by Carlton .....strange that Bugg retires suddenly 3 months after being so grateful for a lifeline, giving Carlton 6 weeks to draft another player

Track watchers report parker, hind and young all looking prominent. All chances for r1
Hind I have concerns on from a SC perspective .....appears to play similarly to Rohan, with that run & carry speed ....I'm not sure he's SC relevant though, looks to be a likely low possession, uncontested player

Think the Tiges would have to knock him back before another team could just up and pinch him.

Looks as though he'll be getting the list spot at Punt Road.
