How are you getting to the conclusion Stack won't be back? He got a one way ticket did he?

Lucky enough to be contracted.
Their both shit. Turner the type to get it 30 times and do nothing with it, Naish the opposite but too soft to make it at the highest level. Both players went MIA in the 2019 VFL finals.

Apparently one kid who will be training with us is Rhyan Mansell. A 20 year old HBF dasher who is supposed to have speed, a good kick and a strong tackler. He played for the WWT in the SANFL this year when they won the flag.
From draft central
Rhyan Mansell | WWT Eagles
4/06/2000 | 182cm | 75kg
A small-medium defender who has come on leaps and bounds this year, Mansell allayed late injury concerns to help Woodville-West Torrens take out the premiership flag. The Tasmanian native was a key rebounder out of the back half and showed good skills with ball in hand, while also bringing a hard edge to the side. It could be his year after being overlooked twice.
info is from a poster on another tigers board who says he knows the kid. Mansell is the cousin of Norf's Tarryn Thomas.

" The sole Tasmanian to receive a State Draft Combine invitation, Mansell is the cousin of highly touted fellow North Launceston teenager, Tarryn Thomas. Mansell’s attack on the ball is as good as anyone’s and he is a fierce tackler, averaging four per game at the National Under 18 Championships. He is a composed user of the football and has terrific acceleration off the mark (2.96 seconds in the 20m sprint) that helps him both offensively and defensively. He could continue to develop his endurance further, registering 20.5 on the Yo-yo test at the State Draft Combine, and also find more of the football, but overall he looms as a draft smokey and has good upside."
Sounds like another Liam Baker without the mullet
Sounds like a promising youngster who’d be worth a go, we’re certainly a little light on for rebounding defenders.
Also, on the talk of Eggy. I personally think we’d be better off giving Turner another go instead of him.

Sounds like he will be competing against DES for the same position as a HBF.

Nigel sounds promising

Can't see why we'd go back to Egg. Made the decision to cut him and not re-rookie him when we had the chance only to give him a last minute recall? Better off taking the punt on a kid.
Watched a few highlights of Mansell. He looks promising. Has nice speed, polished with the ball and knows how to lay a tackle.

Very little footage(YouTube) available but I have to agree he looks a very nice mover.

Green sounds the goods.
Yea I thought it was a strange one too.
GWS didn't think so. Would be great to bring him onboard, especially if it gets us his brother

Interesting that Liam Kolar is still nowhere to be seen for any team.
Nicholas Couroupis sounds good from some Match reports on draft central. Although it's pretty much impossible to find his measurables and birthdate...
Nicholas Couroupis
West Adelaide | Midfielder
Stats: 25 disposals, 6 marks (4 contested), 3 tackles, 5 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s, 1 goal
Our scouts said: “Couroupis was outstanding for the Bloods, arguably their best performer on the day. The midfielder was aggressive at the ball and at his opponents throughout the game, and his marking ability was definitely a highlight.” – Tom Cheesman
Verdict: It was somewhat of a breakout performance for Couroupis, and his lift in output could be a timely one for the struggling Bloods midfield. Having also turned out for the Henley Sports Academy during the week, the Year 12 student should have his hands full with plenty more opportunities to impress. Midfielders with points of difference are always important, and Couroupis’ ability to mark overhead was good to see. It should put him in good stead for a more consistent output.
21 Nicholas Couroupis
Couroupis was outstanding for the Bloods, arguably their best performer on the day. The midfielder was aggressive at the ball and at his opponents throughout the game, and his marking ability was definitely a highlight. He took six marks (four contested) including a brilliant pack grab in the opening term. Couroupis regularly provided an option for the Bloods coming out of defence and was strong at stoppages against a talented Panthers midfield. He finished with 25 disposals, five clearances, three tackles and a 55-metre goal from a set shot.

But no Callow or Baldwin, and that despite our obvious need for a young KPF or two on our list. Really says something about how they rate their chances of making it at AFL level.

Josh Green
Height 192cm
Weight 87kg
Current Team GIANTS Academy
Birthday July 24, 2002
POSITION: Utility
DRAFT ANALYSIS: “Green is a mobile utility who thrives aerially, helping him shape as the leading GWS Academy prospect this year.” – Michael Alvaro
Following in the footsteps of his brother, Tom, Josh Green looms as the top talent coming out of the GWS Giants Academy in 2020. While he cuts a similar figure to his elder sibling, the Canberran is a genuine utility at 192cm, able to play roles in key position posts at either end and even run through midfield. Green turned out for the Giants Academy four times last year, while also representing the NSW/ACT Under 17 Futures side against Vic Country. As a top-ager, he improved his standing with two excellent performances for the Giants in the Academy Series, arguably claiming best afield honours for his side in both outings. Having played in the 2019 Under 17 Futures All-Star showcase, Green also earned a National Combine invite to cap off his year.
STRENGTHS:
At centre half-back, Green uses those traits to cut across and intercept, while up forward he more often marks on the lead or in contested situations. His sometimes overlooked running capacity also aids such a style, with high-level endurance (21.6 yo-yo test score in preseason) and decent speed off the mark (3.075 seconds 20m sprint) allowing him to attend multiple contests. As much was evident in his first Academy Series outing, where he dominated the second half with a series of strong marks in soggy conditions.
That same running ability is something which has Green pegged as a potential big-bodied midfielder, somewhat in the mould of his older brother. His clean hands and overall mobility shape as terrific attributes which can transfer to midfield play, though Green’s craft in that position is something he can still improve on. Looking at his NAB League numbers from 2019, they are quite indicative of a key position player with averages of 10 disposals and 3.3 marks, but Green is the type of tall who can find a good amount of ball between the arcs.
Should he continue to really give the midfield a crack in future, Green can work on becoming a touch more agile and explosive from the contest. His speed does not rate too badly in testing, though he can take a little time to get going and break free from congestion. He is a mobile type across the ground, but in a similar vein, Green can improve his ground level work to cleanly extract and move the ball on at stoppages. But with a good amount of strings to his bow and a promising base to work off, Green could be a player to show a steep rate of development should he reach the elite level.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Late-Rookie
Green may have attracted some interest from AFL clubs outside of the Giants with his performances this year, especially in the Academy Series against the best of his NSW/ACT peers. He looms as a much more prospective talent when compared to his brother Tom, so could prove more of a value pick later in the draft for GWS. At season’s end, the Giants held four picks past 40, meaning they could cover any bid for Green in the National Draft, select him late, or allow him to slide into the Rookie Draft. Either way, the most straightforward conclusion is that he will remain in GWS colours come 2021, should he be granted an AFL opportunity.
