There’s not much I can report at this stage. They’re all genuinely good kids. They’re not participating in any match skills etc but working together on fitness etc, talking to the dieticians etc. I you get a chance to have a look at them ( Sandy ,Sat morning for those interested) feast your eyes on...

Just been looking at the AFL trade tracker. They have the Koby Stevens deal now showing as deal 39 lodged at 1.58PM. The last deal lodged before 2:00PM dealine. One minute later would have been fine, two minutes later the deal gets rejected. The AFL indicative draft order still can't sort out Carlt...

Amen. Currently surprised we may have so few tickets to the dance.

Petracca, Dunstan, Billings and Stevens supported by Armitage, Curran, Saunders and co. That's a handy mid field that has grunt, class and pace. What are your thoughts? We haven't seen a lot of him bit I reckon the temperature has a lot of potential. Agree with this. I think he's seen as a bit of a...

Actually elite, probably quite limited prior to last year. Billings has a lot of upside once he calms the nerves; his ability to be in the right place may be uncanny and I expect to see his touted contested marking come through too. Acres a possibility, Dunstan not in strict ability but a terrific f...

pretty impressive.... thats a lot of footy to watch.

Check out Bound for Glory News. From memory that is where her latest Phantom and profiles are.

Skeptic - agree on Dunell. Good skills , terrific overhead for his size, good character. I agree he probably doesn't have an enormous 'trick', but I'm still surprised he hasn't played more. I still think Ferguson, Lever, TDL would be my first outs. Then, move on a couple of experienced players for p...

I can at least understand a perception against Ledger from the coaching staff - even if he simply has to be given a burst in the latter part and really not sure why it's taken this long - but I just do not understand Dunell at all. He just looks a couple of classes above VFL. Maybe it's a lack of cl...

Seen his kicking? Pick 1/3/5? Wow

That's absolutely right, hands.

ahhh right... now I get it. I was wondering why so many of you are moaning that we didn't get Clruey or Gartlett or whatever their names are. I mean why are these guys so special out of all the other recruits we didn't take. Then I stumbled across the Herald Sun phantom draft. The names that bunch ...

Nope, Not any of the suggestions made. Bit of a concern that one of our leaders might be in this situation.

What is the radio station?

Can I get a summary of Ferguson from those that see him regularly? I've seen him play only briefly - obviously very athletic, but his kicking style is ungainly at best. How is his kicking? Marking? Why would he not have been elevated post-season if he was such a prospect (just a case of still develo...

I saw Watters comment on Lenny too - bizarre. His bio sounds almost the opposite! Lenny eats the inside stuff and this kid is a linker. Perhaps the younger HFF Lenny where his class was always evident early? Anyway, perhaps they sense they snuck one here.

And back on topic, yeah I think it's a real shame actually. But, nonetheless, if it was just explained why then I'm sure we'd understand. This club does an enormous amount of things right, so just punch on boys. I just can't stand hearing that grab on SEN when they play the live call of Goddard's ma...

Oops, sorry, mis-directed the previous quote - the final sentence is mine. Alas, I really don't have a voice for posting on forums

If Emma has a voice that matches the quality of her writing (I've never heard her), I'd have no problem with her calling the football.

No, she really doesn't have a voice for footy actually. Lacks confidence and a fair bojan.

Not often that Ross sounds that enthused, actually. He was certainly very positive about Cripps and was very unlike Ross in predicting he would play relatively early on next year.

Ha ha, priceless. Heyne equals BJ in kicking prowess. If he could get the ball (who has his average disposals at Sandy?) we could see for sure, but from what we have seen that is wildly optimistic. I think Lyon's style is conducive to very hard workers developing well - think Jones, Geary, Eddy, Gil...

And Clint Jones as well. Flies under the radar, but terrific player.

Thought we moved the ball a little better today than we have for most of the year. One of our top couple performances. It actually wasn't only the final quarter missed shots - we should have buried them long before that. So bad kicking is bad footy, but goal kicking can turn quickly and we certainly...

I put my hand up on Gwilt. I never quite understood how he was getting games in previous years; a bit of a nothing player I thought. Nothing horrible about him, but had little input, little spark. But boy I like him as a defender and have done so since the start of the season. Measured, composed, go...

Yeah not to take away from our kids, and I think the new blood always assists in promoting some new life (both with the initial excitement and also by ensuring those in the team don't think they're a lock), but they are only doing bits and pieces and not really helping in offloading the pressure fro...

Why has Cahill been dropped to the magoos..is he crap...is he a list clogger crap comment. he's a tall kid on the fringes of the sandy side in his second year on the list. has played a nab cup game so they obviously see something in him. will take time to develop as all kids do, and is hurt by the ...
