I have watched all the posted videos of the new recruits and they seem like really good quality people. The GCS are on the right track for future success!

I was wondering if anyone had nick names for the new boys.

Re-post from the thing I said in a Reddit thread:

Callum Ah Chee: Chi's Sweet Home

Brayden Fiorini: Lando
Explanation: There was an Italian actor called Lando Fiorini.

Joshua Schoenfeld: Not Riley Bonner

Mackenzie Willis: Bluebell Gray
Explanation: McKenzie & Willis is a retail chain in New Zealand specializing in linen. One of the brands they sell is called Bluebell Gray. I found all of this out five minutes ago by googling 'Mackenzie Willis' and getting re-directed to a shop trying to sell me an expensive throw pillow.

Tom Keough: Mostaccioli
Explanation: Apparently this guy really really really likes pasta and eats it before games. I assume he likes mostaccioli pasta, too. I chose mostaccioli as that seems like it would be the most fun to shout at a game.

Darcy MacPherson: Murdoch/Glover
Explanation: There is a Scottish highland clan called Clan MacPherson - The Children of Murdoch. The clan's motto refers to gloves or something. I'll let Wikipedia explain:

Motto: Touch not the cat bot a glove. 'Bot' means without. The 'glove' of a wildcat is the pad. If the cat is 'ungloved', its claws are unsheathed. The motto serves as a warning that one should beware when the wildcat's claws are 'without a glove'. It is a reference to the historically violent nature of the clan and serves as a metaphorical warning to other clans that they should think twice before interfering with Macpherson business.

So I think Glover is a good enough nickname. I will also accept 'Gloveslap.'

Ryan Davis: Mam
Explanation: Damn this was a hard one. Ryan Davis is as generic of a name you can get. I was thrown a lifeline when I realised his name was similar to Welsh pianist and actor Ryan Davies, who was famous for cross-dressing to create the comedic character 'Mam,' a stereotypical Welsh housewife on the show 'Our House.'

Jesse Joyce: Jesse James?
Explanation: I'm running out of ideas.

Cameron Loersch: **** it I give up.


Still can't think of a nickname for Loersch.

That reminds me, I got halfway through season 2 of season two of Chi's Sweet Home and forgot about it. I really need to get back to it. Screw it, this is an offtopic thread. What's everyone's favourite cat-based anime?

Cameron Loersch on the right aka Lurch..........
 
My off topic is zilch to do with footy and everything to do with my 'real life'.

Just wanted to say how proud I am of my cousin Jarrod McLean, who was in the winners stall with 2 of the major winners on the card @ the Gold Coast Magic Millions race day today. Lucky Hussler & Mahuta, congrats to all involved :hearts:

Hey guys, I've really been getting into the draft lately and just wanted to make sure I understand it correctly so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see there are 7 rounds to the draft. When Saad and Brooksby were elevated that cost two draft picks correct? To elevate a rookie will cost a draft pick?

Do you pass when your list is full?

My thinking is Brooksby and Saad was elevated so that's round 6 and 7 but we only drafted 4 players. What happened to the other pick? Was our list full?

Just making sure I understand this properly. Thanks guys.
