I remember earning $11-15 ph as a casual during holidays and thinking that was pretty good, then going drinking with mates from home who were just finishing apprenticeships and starting work as Boilermakers & Mechanics...
What I was was earning wasn't bad (taught me some life lessons too) but half of what they were getting (early to mid 2000's)

In NZ you could get a really high paying job at a freezing works straight out of school
Quite a few of my Uni mates did it during the holidays

anyway thats long gone now as the Unions got too greedy and they largely became uneconomic

Uni was free when I went. Fees came in in my last year
.. that was a long time ago though.

Do we trade out our second rounder in the hope that cooper smashes it next year and goes top 20.

And now actioned

him getting a bid in that 10-30ish range is perfect now

I love that this kid is semi foxing now, we’ll only have to use a 3rd or 4th.

Or maybe Richmond will bid at 18.

What’s written on the mirror

 

[Devington]

What’s written on the mirror

Probably his reps/routine.

 

[Luke72]

He looks like a unit, I haven’t seen a hell of a lot of him playing but what I did see didn’t particularly stand out. I reckon he’s better off working on his skills rather than his rig.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Yep. Gut feel is that he doesn’t get drafted.

Is this based on anything other than your gut? I’m genuinely interested, as these kids have barely played any competitive footy for 2 years…

 

[The Nostradamus]

Second in his leagues bnf as a 15 year old

played In the only under 17s Vic game this year and kicked 2 goals and looked clean

he can play

Its 2021, for all kids his age the rig comes first unfortunately.

Yep. $250 hat on a $1 head.

Yeah, for an accountant, he does a good impersonation of a jackeroo

I back this comment 100%

I'm surprised how many people are talking him down all of a sudden. He sounded like he was clean, smart with his positioning and good defensively. Maybe not a hilights reel like his dad but a strong team contributor.

Like I said I haven’t seen much, there was one game (maybe our VFL) that had a bit of publicity that I watched. He played forward but didn’t get much of it and seemed to get in awkward positions. I’m no junior talent scout though so happy to hear better credentialed people’s views. I know Kingy is a massive wrap for him.

when slomos O/S,
for an idiot he does a pretty good impersonation of a PM,

So the joint in Yarrambat obviously hasn’t sold yet in Boomers split up? Looks like the home gym in the adverts.

Are you sure that there has been a split up? If you are not sure, then that would be an unsubstantiated rumour and perhaps not something we want to be engaging in.
