And priority access guns next year. Still 9 days until the full trade period opens.
There's going to be a fair few unlucky players playing VFL footy next year if we are not cursed by injury. As WD54 pointed out the other day, there's no reason our priority access kids can't get VFL exposure, in a competitive environment, next year as 23rd men. A bunch of unlucky players in the VFL each week is hallmark of AFEL teams that have had successful years.
