Quite a strong team on paper. I’m going to try and head down for a quarter or two.

How many crunchy versus soggy hot chips in the bag today? And how would we categorise the overall bag?

Keep an eye on Oskar Smartt - he’s good value

Jedwab as an emergency is a tough call given his recent performances, but I suppose we’ve got two AFL listed rucks plus Wright in the side…

It’s going to be bizarre seeing Wright in the VFL.

I miss the good ol’ days when Gumbleton and Darcy’s little brother played together at Windy Hill.

Lual forward late in the season is interesting. Clearly going for some high work rate pressure from him.

I don’t quite see it with him though. It’s really quite bizarre we took him ahead of Roberts given their respective vfl output.

Disco making strange calls just at he can fark with other teams. I just didn’t get it. Bidding on silvagni’s lad was the height of unprofessionalism imo and this has a bit of a similar feel.

Good luck to lual of course but he’s got a very long way to go

Lual had been rated around that mark (if not a bit higher), it wasn’t a huge surprise. Clearly his rating being based on ceiling and not output at the time. Still think he has some tools but a long term prospect for sure:

What number is he? 80?

Edit an official just told me he is 66

Hahaha Wright is done.
Honestly think that.

I have never seen a player get their hands cleanly to so many balls and just drop it.

I was gonna say we’ll destroy them if Goldstein wins every clearance, but then Wright dropped the easiest of marks…
