Not sure how you got there from my comment tbh.
More the general vibe with your post as a launching point.
Making Evans a life member shows what a gutless, out of touch board we have running our club. It’s also the reason we won’t win a premiership whilst these morons are running our club. Tanner’s arrogance was disgusting last tonight. He needs to remember he is on a board that represents members… not resents them.

Ten years service gets you a LM.
Not sure the Board had the discretion to hold back on Evans.
Your going to have to explain. Is it Lockyer?
Without wishing to turn this into a saga resurrection thread, it is possible that David Evans initially thought he was doing the right thing by going along with whatever his mate Demetriou proposed (afl to stage manage the investigation, lynch a few EFC officials as scapegoats, protect the players from ASADA) but resigned when he realised all the consequences (the Hird assassination, draconian penalties etc) and it was too late for him to get himself out of the mess he had created. He seems to have some sympathy within the club, as now underlined by the life membership move.

Give us a couple of sentences on him?
AFL draft central has him listed with a 2016 D.O.B which would make him a little on the young side.
2.93s for a 20m is pretty nippy…

He is 22 years old and at one point considered giving up on the sport before knuckling down and playing some good games in the NEAFL. Has the speed and agility but needs to work on endurance.

Nigel Lockyer Jnr
A versatile player with good skills, Lockyer has put on some size of late, having represented Northern Territory in both basketball and Australian rules football. He is a high-leaping talent at both ends, who recorded 87cm on the running vertical jump at the State Combine, and clocked up 2.93 seconds on the 20m sprint.
Since his impressive state combine outing, Lockyer returned home the very next day to play for Palmerston in the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL), booting three goals in consecutive outings and becoming a key cog in the Magpies’ setup. A player who rates his well-rounded game, Lockyer has continued to develop since his draft year to now be a genuine mature-aged prospect with good size. Lockyer Jnr represented Northern Territory in the TAC Cup back in 2016, averaging the 8.7 touches and three marks. Fast forward to 2019 and while he still averages just the 10 touches and 3.5 marks per game, he does it agains senior bodies and it is more his high impact per possession that catches the eye.
STRENGTHS: Acceleration, vertical leap, marking, size, skills
IMPROVEMENTS: Endurance, defensive pressure, accumulation
Ben Jungfer
THE inside midfielder received a call-up to the Allies squad after a strong month with Northern Territory in the NAB League Boys Academy Series. He had no fear winning the ball at the coalface and is physically ready to match it with senior players. Jungfer also played for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL to gain some experience across two states given he boards at school in South Australia. As a whole, Jungfer was arguably the most consistent NT player across the Academy series, averaging 22.6 disposals, 6.6 clearances and 5.2 tackles per game. His contested game is strong, averaging a mind boggling 16.2 contested possessions per game at a rate of 68.6 per cent. All things considered, his kicking efficiency of 59.6 for the five games is quite impressive, and with less than a clanger by foot every game, is generally pretty reliable, even if he is forced to kick in rushed situations more often than not. Jungfer does have outside areas to build on such as his spread and scoreboard impact, because of his high volume of contested ball. He has become so prominent at it, he does not have as much versatility as some other midfielders, but is also well prepared for senior football given his attack on the ball. Overall, Jungfer showed enough consistency to earn a State Draft Combine invite and could develop into that hard-nosed inside midfielder with a fierce attack on the ball who could play any role for his side in that midfield group.
STRENGTHS: Inside game, defensive pressure, agility, clearances, consistency
IMPROVEMENTS: Spread, outside game, scoreboard impact

2016 would have been his earliest possible draft year, 1998 birth.
He’s about 6’2-3 and 92kgs. He plays either end as a mid to key sized forward or defender. If I had to make a comparison he’s very Nathan Lovett-Murray with a bit of Michael O, but quicker across the ground. He is very gifted athletically. Quick as you point out but a very good leap. He also represented the NT in basketball.
He’s a driven kid (he’d be 21 now) started out from Alice Springs but moved to the NT to play in the senior thunder program and for Froggie at Palmerston. The penny dropped for him this year though, he’s in good shape and ready to go. Shrewd pick up if my source is on point, which I think he is.

Is he a similar type to the Brisbane academy kid we were after?
Cheers.
We can do with a bit more speed.
