Well then, keep an eye out for the AFL to drop the father/son requirement back to 50 games next year.

Preview done by yours truly

TWatson32 · September 3, 2018, 9:15pm

Who in the table has the North connection?

THE_DON1 · September 3, 2018, 9:24pm

Anderson has a hawks connection, old man played 98 games for hawks

TWatson32 · September 3, 2018, 10:04pm

Thanks. I’d be bleeding if it was us.

Begbie · September 3, 2018, 10:24pm

And Saints connection too

HirdMentality · September 3, 2018, 10:46pm

Alwyn Davey. 100 games. Never forget.

HirdMentality · September 3, 2018, 10:47pm

More a reference to Josh Kelly and a few others who’ve missed by 20 or so games recently.

Duursma is an interesting one. Has his ability to pick and hit the right targets improved over the year? Because his contested work and spread seems pretty good.

I’d heard it said that Tarryn Thomas is likely to slide, due to both on field and off-field issues.

THE_DON1 · September 4, 2018, 9:01am

That’s fluff, most academy prospects slides regardless but I’d expect someone to bid on him before North’s first pick

Henry_s_Angry_Pills · September 4, 2018, 9:39am

Ha.

Ants · September 4, 2018, 12:54pm

Damn it. I enjoyed the U18 all star matches. Chance to see the talent in one place.

THE_DON1 · September 4, 2018, 1:02pm

Having both the 17s and 18s games where great although some of the better performers from last years 17s game haven’t really come along as hoped

The 18s game was always good to see players put in different positions and to see how well the late developers went such as Bonar last year, either way the games are more for exhibition with both times barely bothering to defend.

The under 18’s already play too much footy between TAC, school footy and Championships - It was a pointless exercise for 98% of players.
