As usual I’m looking to get back into the draft since burnt my picks mid season
I certainly ain’t thinking any top selections in trades
As far as what I’d have that might be enticing for some sides on the rise or full rebuild is some kids who got games and will be pushing for more game time. Some of which I am tossing up whether to keep vs some elder statesmen like Heppell, Fyfe & Sheed
Oliver Dempsey (cf) -Cats, rookie (2021) > dominates at VFL level. 5 games in AFL in 2023 mainly with the vest on. Got his chance in final game of year as a starter and scored 84. Big chance to be a regular senior player in 2024
Taj Woewodin (c) - Dees - F/S pick65 (2021) > also dominates at VFL level. 4 games at AFL level in 2023. Only got a bit part role when came into senior team but may get more opportunities with Oliver scenario sketchy and they’ve traded Harmes and lost Jordan as FA
Cooper Harvey (cf) - North. F/S Pick 66 (2022) Boomers kid, highly rated and another who had strong VFL form, came into senior side in rd17 and had 3 games but got injured in that last one with shoulder injury so was out for season.
Sam Banks (cb) - Tigers- Pick 29 (2021) > Got into team in 2nd half of season and played 6 games, with a top score of 74 in rd19.
Tom Brown (b) - Tigers. pick 17 (2021). After being in emergencies often eventually cracked his debut in final game of season and had 16 disposals. May force his way into starter spot this season, may be one for the future. .
….
Rucks are always a rare commodity also.
Tom Campbell (r) - Saints, will once again play 2nd fiddle to Marshall. St Kilda didn’t look to/weren’t able to acquire any other rucks so really any injury to Marshall and Campbell is in as far experienced next cab off rank
…
I’ll also be sending out the door, not that expect any bites on
Luke Breust (f)
Sam Collins (d)
Luke Edwards (cf)

Also happy to listen to offers on what would be likely keepers if anyone is wheeling and dealing!
FOOTY IS BACK! (Nearly!)
