Oskar has been named as a Northern Blues rookie. Not sure how many games he'll get though.

To be fair, he's a completely different type of player, a bit hard to judge from the footage but he has legs like tree trunks yet manages to get a bit of power out of them. Good at positioning himself and using his body strength to take the mark but not your regular KPP height.I hear what you're saying, and it sounds a lot like "Pendlebury"...

To our Tassie-based supporters who are heading to our game on Sunday afternoon at UTAS Stadium, if you get to the ground early i.e. 11.45am, there will be an opportunity to see Archi Manton in action when the Western Jets take on the Tasmania Devils (should have been called the Thylacines) in the NAB League.
Manton kicked 3 goals in the Jets 47 point win over the Tassie Devils. Not named in the best players though.

I’m not up to speed with all this, do we have claims on Brazier and Wild?
Someone implied that Cameron Wild is no longer part of our academy since he moved to Shepperton. I can't give you the link because it's on one of those funny sites that collects old tweets.
I watched the Bushrangers game yesterday & I was quite impressed with Wild. He is a good build, is able to accelerate away from contests in a similar manner to Walsh & his disposal is very good, either pinpointing passes to his teammates or at least kicking to their advantage. I think he is one to keep an eye on.
Walsh's younger brother played in the same game & as far as ruckmen go, he is extremely raw. He is bottom aged so has plenty of time to develop his ruck craft.

Brazier definitely, and Wild possibly.
Poulter posts on here, and does talent ID for Eastern, but I'm not sure that's a concrete source for Wild's eligibility. His brother is still playing in the Northern league, and I'd imagine Cameron would still fall under our zoning due to his previous years of residence, a rule I don't believe has changed since the NSW & Queensland academies were established.
Given the way he was used last year, you can argue he moved for opportunity as much as anything, and if he's not eligible for us then he must be magically eligible for Richmond...

What's Brazier all about then? Tall fwd? Med fwd? Mid? Is he draftable this year?
In your opinion Which wild brother would be of most interest?

Last year it was Cameron by a hair (but he wasn't eligible), but he's exploded out of the blocks this season. Cameron is tracking like a top 40 chance right now.
Mitch has completely dropped off since mid-2018, where he was a rookie chance.

Contested mid/medium forward. Maybe a rookie chance unless he lifts his performances.
Might just wind up at Northern alongside Penrith.
On the basis that Chris Johnson's (the Lions version) son has remained eligible for the Dopers despite his family relocating from their NGA zone to Kew, one would hope the same would apply to Cameron Wild.
If he's not eligible for us that opens up the door for NGA rorting.
What is actually required for him to be eligible?
