The Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP)

From my position on the couch it appears Tex has something to work it’s over the next few years.

Not yet sure about Fejo. It may well come down to the drive to want to do what it takes to be an AFL player.

We must remember that if a player slipped through the drafts and is being considered as a SSP, there are reasons. It will be hard for these fellows to make an impact straight away. Baldwin being a great example of this last year.

Tex seems a possible small forward, we need a couple of these.

THird and Tex fighting it out for a small forward role down the track? Let’s go!

Alex & Tom really should have swapped names.

There’s no doubt that Clarke offers a bit at AFL level if needed. But we’ve shown a reluctance to play him , and certainly a reluctance to maximize his strengths - tagging - so it becomes difficult to see the point in us listing him again , even though I think on raw output he could be deserving of another chance. If there was another club willing to play a defensive mid in their permanent setups, he’d absolutely be worth a punt for no cost.

But for us, where we sit, it would seem to make more sense taking a chance on raw potential, or at least keeping a slot open.

With Walla stepping aside for now does Fejo firm as a replacement?

Id put Tex and Fejo both on the list and if Tippa retires by mid year, it opens another spot for the mid season draft

Why are people against Lonie?

He’s ready made player who can come in and fill the void till Walla gets back or until we find some one better

He’s not the worst option as a stop gap imo

I wonder if we’ll look more closely at any of the first three given the news on Walla. Depending on how the club is rating Fejo and Tex of course.

I was hoping we would bring stretch over too. From halls creek.

He’s farking ■■■■.

Name a worse option I dare you.

Well there was this gentleman in the forum match who spectacularly failed to pick up a ground ball in the forward pocket.

Is Lovett-Murrays son trainining with us or anyone?

Because he is ■■■■. Believe it or not, not every player that played for another club is worth chasing…

all kids that were training under JHA had left training and was only SSP shots.

Fejo, Tex, Clarke, Martin

If another spot is opened up, expect Clarke to come back on list
