Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
So excited for Bruhn, I hope he gets more midfield time than he did in the AAMI series as the season goes on, his class and composure is going to be VERY important for us going forward
When was the last time we played a draftee for 22 rounds in their first year?I hope his young body is mature enough to handle it and he's eased in over a period of time. Our track record with injuries is not good at all.
Devon Smith played 20, Lachie Whitfield and Toby Greene both played 19 in their first year. Josh Kelly & Tom Bugg 18. Jezza 16 : that’s the most by any first year player at the giants.When was the last time we played a draftee for 22 rounds in their first year?
I knew the latter but I would've been sure someone made it back in years 1 or 2, so there you go.Devon Smith played 20, Lachie Whitfield and Toby Greene both played 19 in their first year. Josh Kelly & Tom Bugg 18. Jezza 16 : that’s the most by any first year player at the giants.
but remember Toby copped a 1 week ban so might have also played 20.
so the answer is a) never and b) not even close in recent years.

We’re not gunna go too well this year. The new rule has opened the game up - with less stoppages. We are a stoppage team.
Leon could by gone by round 7.
I think it’s the opposite to this.
We have played a high uncontested mark game for a while so it’s not a new game style however it will make it easier for us to move the ball with the new man on the mark rule which is where we struggled.
Stoppage clearances are even more important than previously because it can give you clean ball on the outside where you can then retain possession.

He is over the moon about the news
Wonder what the rules over it are?
Should be if you are subbed you are out the next week and your sub has to be under 21?
