Liam McMahon Kicked 4 Goals in a VFL Practise Game vs Box Hill this Morning

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Jack Carroll and Luke Parks were our standouts in a VFL praccy win vs St Kilda.

Glad to hear Luke Parks is doing well. Was a bit disappointed we didn't draft him.

 

[Giant Strides]

Tanner Bruhn giving it every chance for round 1 selection, especially with current injuries to the GWS forward line.

 

[RUNVS]

Pretty damned happy with Campbell, McDonald and Gulden.

Campbell and Gulden should be in the team in 2 weeks time on pure output, Campbell showing amazing kicking ability and Gulden having a huge amount of footy smarts.

McDonald might not be best 22 yet but he could be in the team pretty early as well as he didn't look out of place today, and having him in the forward line improved our forward structure a lot.

did not look like a kid drafted months ago.
Looked very at home out there.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Brockman and Downie strong chances of debuting Round 1. Both looking ready made.

DGB has been very good on the track and in match sim, but I think we’ll hold him back just a little.

 

[Instincts]

Powell's 15 disposals in his first half was a big positive from Saturday

Spicer and Phillips showed good signs in the last quarter

 

[Sphynx]

Powell had 16 touches in a half playing much of it at half forward.

He had 17 in a half against the Saints the week before.

Fair to say his ball winning ability is going to translate to AFL level.

 

[Sphynx]

It’s actually embarrassing.

Remove yourself from the D&T board until you can use the term correctly.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

That was 5 minutes of my life that I won't get back

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Tigers seem to like bottom agers.

Bolton
Dow

It's similar to what Hawthorn did when we were at our peak, you have more time to develop (Shiels) and can take some risks (Smith, Garlett, etc).

Shiel is born in April? Every single club recruit players born later in the year - no club has a special exemption to draft bottom age players.

The only time I have seen this was when the expansion teams came in - Brad Crouch, O'Meara, Jack Martin & Hogan were drafted as bottom age players.

Yeah I posted that without reading everything that followed. Shiel was the youngest player in his draft class and could have played another year in the TAC... From what I remember

 

[briztoon]

Harry Sharp has impressed the coaches and training watchers.

Certainly much further ahead of where many expected him to be. Much better kick than advertised, elite runner as you’d expect, and puts his body on the line, so not a typical soft outside type.

2 weeks off being in this years draft, and finishing year 12, so the club is taking a slow approach.

 

[The 747]

Ask me in 2024.

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

McNeil (rookie draft) and Scott (SPP) are debuting round 1. Hope they go well

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Not sure, will let you know when they hit maturity at 30

 

[The 747]

Whoever put that music on that video needs to be taken out into the courtyard and shot at dawn.

When the commentary started I thought it was the start of an Aussie rap song. "So he goes inside fifty.."

 

[THE_GUN]

Samson Ryan ( totally unheard of before being drafted) Is really impressing alot of people at Richmond and could get a few games this year

 

[citizen-erased]

Nik Cox debuting.
Not sure if he'll slide back to cover the loss of our KPD's or we stick with him as a tall, athletic winger.

Perkins doesn't sound far off.
Doubt we take him to AO for the game v Port
Maybe rd 3 v Saints.

 

[Cleric]

James Rowe and Sam Berry both playing round 1 for us.

 

[Instincts]

Powell and Lazzaro debuting against Port

 

[RUNVS]

All of Campbell, Gulden and McDonald are debuting for the Swans this week, though not great conditions for the first game since it is going to be very wet in Brisbane.

 

[M Malice]

Harry Sharp who is still in year 12 will debut v the Swans tomorrow night at the Gabba >
