Am I blind or have Vic Country and Vic Metro not named their squads for the carnival? Pretty interesting seeing they kick off in 5 days time.

Both Lions and Suns in for a tough carnival, though Lions will be about 50% bottom aged.

2009's are all in the SSV U/15's team travelling to the carnival on the GC - 2 weeks after the U16's

[Johnny Bananas]

The Vics' lists have landed.

Aspendale being Country and Woori Yallock being Metro will never sit right with me.

My little attempt at making a pre championships rankings for 2026 Draft.

I wonder if the AFL will allow the Devils to pre-list Bovill.

 

[Miller1971]

Have you seen the Lions team?

just the one they rolled out to get belted by Sydney Swans on the weekend.

Link?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

A few things.

Sam Harris. (North FS.)
Mitch Toner looks built like a brick shithouse. (Similar to Jack Graham.)
After the McKay, King and, currently, Whitlock twins being assessed, there's a new twin towers waiting in the wings with the Bevis twins.
Harry Van Hattum the tallest of the sides at 202cm.
The Gayfer listed would have to be a relo of Michael's. (The human glove.)
