If Saad and Houli had a child and gave him the middle name El.
Looks super quick… I like this. Throw him in to the forward pocket and say run and tackle.
Brynn Teakle was taken in the mid-season draft, played 6 games, delisted, and just got taken in the mid-season draft again. So he might make it twice for a low enough bar of “making it”.
In a more serious answer Ryan Gardner was on the cat’s list for a few years, and has played 50 games for the dogs.

Puts the pressure on Lual a bit now if they will be competing for that HB role.
Saad is at least versatile and can play wing which we may need considering ours keep going down

Disappointing Hit Out stats.

We have heaps of small forwards on the list. The issue is, most aren’t great.
Let’s get a gun one via the draft or trade rather than getting another mediocre one

Jai Newcombe goes ok.
They seriously want to be ■■■■ forever!
Payne actually looked concerned after getting picked, his fam was happy but he didn’t seem thrilled at all
His father looked upset as well.

I agree they aren’t great but I wouldn’t say we have ‘heaps’.
Gresham, Menzie and J Davey are the only true smalls and one of them has yet to debut. You could maybe make an argument for Hind (even though he isn’t really one), but ADJ isn’t one, Guelfi doesn’t play like one, and Wanganeen is just a question mark
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t previously listed.

Oh, my bad
Interesting that smartt missed out with the talk about him predraft I thought he would land somewhere but I can see why he didn’t

I’m not.
He averaged 8 touches and a goal a game. Outside of his 4 goal game he hasn’t done much.

I agree I thought he was a bit slow but the locals in here where screaming for him or Peris
This is part of why I hate the MSD for my content. The pool of players is vast, every state league, all the 19 year olds in the junior comps, some podunk peninsula league that the cats pull from. Everyone knows of a player that they think should be given a second chance. But we only get 20 picked at most.
Its like trying to play whackamole. I know that about half of the guys I make vids for pre draft wont get picked.
Also, names rise on the back of a big game or hot streak of form and people are requesting vids for them, then they return to their normal average play and their name disappears.
Anyway, apologies for the self indulgent rant.

My favourite. The short assertive statement written with absolute conviction hinting at insider knowledge.
