She’s a cracker. Terrific vid. Man, she’d lay a mean shirtfront.

Fantastic doco. Worth a crack getting him Mum in our AFLW train on squad?

Yeah the mums were great in being the ones that got them into footy. Huss’s mum is a footy nut. The best parts were the extended versions we saw of draft night, very emotional as someone else said.

They also did it because qld teams had a boat load of kids to snap up and strengthen their toys hold on the league.

We were just an unfortunate by-product in them getting what they want.

No, the changes to NGA were completely separate to the Northern Academies’ rules.

first time watching him player today and he looks really big in the midriff but he’s got skinny legs. is that just his body shape or does he need to get fitter

Both

He definitely looks fat.

Today he definitely looked a bit cooked.

If he was to be selected round one you think he would be heavily rotated.

And, no, not like a top.

He did revive a bit when may started crashing packs and bringing the ball to ground.
