Ex-NGA Talent Josh Chatfield training with Footscray
Was part of our training team last year but got a kidney injury

Kicked 21 goals in 8 games in the BFNL
 
Young fella from down my home way Jamieson Ballantyne training with the 'scray. Not sure if that means he's a possibiity to be picked up or whether it's just a training thing, but should help his draft prospects for '22....

Some extra details in this thread

Some very nice pickups in this thread that I missed.

Josh Chatfield will be very, very handy. I have been tracking him in local leagues for a little bit now.

Apologies though, I didn't realise this thread existed and should have posted in here. Perhaps it could be moved in here by a moderator (I don't think I can do it myself??? bigfooty rookie!)
