Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Happens in other sports, they'd need to be there for a fair while to digest it all, and we really are only talking about short-term fixes or long-term projects.Not sure how that scenario of lending players to oppo clubs would work...
Talk about a trojan horse gathering oppo intell for the lending coach/team to be privy to when they return.....
Whose injured...which oppo player is surplus to playing needs...game tactics...assistant coaches possible future move...
Splitting our draft resources into 2022 should be the objective at this stage . Spreading the risk would be optimal
Wanganeen-Milera looks a class above, he won't get past Essendon at 11, i'd take him at 7
I’ll be honest I’ve never seen the kid play but why wasn’t he playing NAB League if he was doing so well?Hoping we pick up Mackenzie Cowley with a later pick. Ended up kicking 27 goals in 10 games for Tongala as a 17 year old against the men. Kicked 2 bags of 6.

I had him around the 12-15 mark but hearing he could be a very early selection. Rising up the boards. Adelaides first could be where he lands. Combo mid who does everything well. Nice size at 185cm and very good skills and good above head. Doesn’t find it as much as others but that could come.I like the kid Draper we're do you reckon he will go ?.
Yeah ,serious doubts about the quality of the competition he's playing in as well .I’ll be honest I’ve never seen the kid play but why wasn’t he playing NAB League if he was doing so well?
Don't need to, can draft as a Cat B rookieHoping we pick up Mackenzie Cowley with a later pick. Ended up kicking 27 goals in 10 games for Tongala as a 17 year old against the men. Kicked 2 bags of 6.
Maybe we're trying to hide him?Yeah ,serious doubts about the quality of the competition he's playing in as well .
Minor country league.
No we can't, Cat B is for players who haven't played AFL at any level, Cowley has been playing juniors for yearsDon't need to, can draft as a Cat B rookie
Nah, that’s not correct matey. If a player is from our region and goes undrafted in the national draft, they can be selected as a category B rookie. It’s how we recruited Eggy.Maybe we're trying to hide him?

Given how early we will probably get out of this years draft, if we really want him then it would be a pretty big risk to leave him to get through the rest of the rounds without getting takenYou can Cat B next gen players that make it through the draft/rookie draft. It’s how we got Egg
I reckon we have been watching Cowley very closely and perhaps suggested he play possum. The kid is a star.
It’s hard to see him getting drafted or the club even taking him. I was purely just speaking on the club being able to take him as a category B rookie of they wanted too and he did go undrafted.Given how early we will probably get out of this years draft, if we really want him then it would be a pretty big risk to leave him to get through the rest of the rounds without getting taken
Have seen him at school footy for Caulfield. Potential yes, application no.I reckon we have been watching Cowley very closely and perhaps suggested he play possum. The kid is a star.
Isn't it Ned Long?There’s been a rumour we are hiding a kid. Probably is Cowley
No idea. Just assumed it would be an academy kid.Isn't it Ned Long?
Imagine the melts if he turned out a star. They'd take our NGA off us completely. Probably give it to Norf.I reckon we have been watching Cowley very closely and perhaps suggested he play possum. The kid is a star.
Pretty sure that rule was a one-off. NGA prospects have to be taken in the national/rookie drafts nowYou can Cat B next gen players that make it through the draft/rookie draft. It’s how we got Egg
