Mason Wood was another of the senior players that turned up
That is good news re Butler, who had a shocking off-season last year - ankle operation, failed recovery then second ankle operation. I hope he has a fair crack at it this off-season.

Re: Trade Week

Tell them they can take pick 45 or nothing, he is absolutely unnecessary for us to get. Also Richmond have 8 picks inside the first 24, potentially setting themselves up nicely! Should we try and swap pick 10 or 11 for next year's 1st? We are certainly in a position to do that. We have lost/deliste...

Totally agree. Indeed he won the deciding rubber for Aus in both the 1999 and 2003 Davis Cup finals. Suffered a lot of injuries.

Re: Wilson

He finished 4th in the Rising Star voting . The three blokes ahead of him in the voting are all 2nd or 3rd year players . The ineligible Sam Darcy also is not 1st year. So there is a strong argument that Wilson is the second best 2023 draftee, behind only Harley Reid. Well done to him and all involv...

Re: Saints on fire on the Gold Coast

Great win, but very disappointing that the brilliant Georgia Patrikios will miss most of the season with injury. Hopefully she will be back for finals. I think she injured her foot but there isn't much detail on the injury that i've been able to find. It's an 8 week injury, but i don't know if that...

Re: Four delisted

I’m both glad & surprised by the Bonner exit,I thought he should have been dropped halfway through the season, never to play again. My only guess is that while we played around with NAS and Sinclair through the midfield he remained the constant on the HB line. Now with this year done time for h...

Great finish to the season. Very even performance. 4. Jack Sinclair. Poise . 3. Zak Jones. Endeavour. 2. Darcy Wilson. 2. Mattaes Philippou. 1. Hunter Clark. Very good inside. 1. Jack Steele. Last quarter vital. 1. Jack Higgins. That goal deserves a vote. 1. Jimmy Webster. Clamped their small forwards

Presumably the free kick count is all part of an intricate AFL conspiracy to rob us of pick 5 in the draft.

I just watched the replay of last night.

Re: How Good Garcia

Kudos to the recruiting team for nabbing him at 50, and to Hugo for grabbing his chance. Looking back on the season, the recruiters have done well with their selections. Wilson ( pick 18) and Garcia would go much higher if that draft were redone today. Hastie (33) and particularly Schoenmaker (62) l...

5. Rowan Marshall. Dominant.

4. Josh Battle. Particularly when the game was tight, he was the rock in defence.

3. Jack Sinclair. Makes good decisions ( most of the time !)

2. Mason Wood. Very reliable , and penetrating kicking .
