Rough for Bedendo, does he get another year? Baker re-signing and Poulter coming in (who is a few months younger and a similar height to Bedendo which amazes me) might make him surplus to requirements depending on who we are thinking of drafting.
What is McComb’s contract status - can we fit them both in 2024?

McComb is signed until the end of the year, same with Roarke Smith and McLean. We do have quite a few others coming out of contract so that might help Bedendo's cause as well.

I’d be very annoyed if Bedendo didn’t get another year. He’s just turned 21 years old. We drafted him as a very raw kid and without a real U18s year due to lockdowns (same as Jamarra).

Year 1 was development, Year 2 he was consistently very good in the VFL and got a couple of AFL games (I would have kept him in the team over Hannan last year), Year 3 injured but apparently was looking very good pre-season. I’d rather Dom on the list next year versus another 4th round pick.

Sam Darcy has had a shocking run with injuries
 
Sad for Darcy. What a wasted year. Getting such weird injuries.

Still has 15 years ahead of him, hopefully starts getting a better run at it.

Put a line through Darcy's season and get him eating 6 meals a day till pre season

What a life get paid to eat for a period of time

Harvey with the kissing disease 🙄
 
Darcy and Bedendo should both be listed as Season. Get them into Pilates or Yoga classes to get their bodies right and set them loose again next pre-season.
Really want to see Bedendo get a run at it. Still irks me that Fergus Greene didn't get more of a go with us.
 
8 outs and 2 tests - that still 20-25% of our list. Fortunately only 2 automatic senior selections among them.

Pretty much a wasted season for Darcy, Bedendo, Roarke and Gallagher though. They all could have offered us something if fit. I’d pick Roarke ahead of McNeil, McComb and McHannan and probably Baker, VDM and Crozier too.

Bad time for Bedendo to be out of contract with a long term injury hopefully he gets another year
