Thanks for that mate. Great to see that he will be promoted. Can play anywhere, kick goals and is so mobile and determined. Great attitude. He will keep getting bigger, stronger, confident and conisitent which is terrible news for opposition clubs. I hope he plays plenty of senior games in 2006.

Can't believe that Setanta is already 198cm and 99kg and Aisake is already 203cm and 95kg. They are super-athletes at a massive size. I think in Aisake we have a real gem and probably out future No.1 ruckman in a few years time. Setanta is another gem and could well end up being a CHF/FF in time.
 
Great to hear that Setanta's getting promoted - although no surprise.

Am surprised though at Aisake's measurements - according to the Heraald - Sun he's put on 2 inches and 9kg in 11 months. At 203cm we might be lucky enough to have our new ruckman in a couple of years.

Hopefully the selectors are about to pull another leprechaun out of the hat when new international rookies are lodged???

Setanta's promotion means we have a full list of 35 names to lodge today. We will have to delist more players before list lodgment #2 to access picks 36 and 68. I gather that we wont delist Campo until after list lodgment #2 so there must be a few players in the list of 35 who know they could be cut if they dont show up for pre - season training on Friday in good shape?

There something really exciting about the prosect of Setanta, is just the unkown factor.
 
A lot of people talk about how good the Collingwood Forward line will be next year... Well imagine the Carlton forward line of...

HF: Waite, Whitnall, Fisher
F: O'hAilpin, Fevola, Betts

or switch it up into

HF: Waite, Whitnall, Houlihan
F: Fisher, Fevola, Betts

or...

HF: Houlihan, Waite, Fisher
F: O'hAilpin, Fevola, Betts

Then you've got the prospect of a midfielder like Stevens resting on a flank... This all looks pretty good to me. Tall, Quick (Sans Whitnall) and Skillful...

Thats a nice layout OZBomb, start a thread on this. There is a raging argument going on the main board about the best forward line....anyone else ?
 
Glad to see setanta got promoted, was a bit disapointed that jesse smith didnt.But hopefully will before the lists are finalised,and glad to see we didnt delist campo, let him hang out to rot until december, we should have traded him 2 years ago when he was worth something.

We cant promote him now. Up until Oct 31 you have to nominate father/son picks, make the decisions on rookies and cut 3 players from the list.
We get to lodge the list another 2 times but the rookie stuff is over now.
We will have 5 rookies next year instead of 6. Kouta will be outside the 38 player list and that means 39 senior listed players (38 plus 1 veteran) and 5 rookies.
Batson, Aisake and Smith plus 2 more from the rookie draft.
