De Koning hasn't been playing though so no guarantees.
I sort of accept the Dunks as a premium mid scenario tbf.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Considering the opposition I think they would have locked it in.

We have tended to play a more traditional ruck combination since Hansen departed. Hilarious!
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Either way, I was chuckling last night as it all unfolded. When BT suggested TDK would have to 'go it alone' only for Hodge to reply it would be a 'Big ASK'...was comedy central. Of course it was going to be a big ask...but it also could have been the making of the kid. Any danger someone has to fight it out for more than 5-seconds?
I do recall one game of Young playing the Glen Coleman role at Footscray and filling it quite well.
He's 'ok' without being great.

Lewis Young omitted again. He just ain't up to standard.

Contracted to the end of 2026. He will be ok either way.

Absolutely. Even if he signed for the average wage, and you’d think it might be a tad more. That’s probably a million bucks over the next 3.5 years. More power to him for having that guarantee in life. Plus the time to try to establish an AFEL career.

Eker-legend and one of the best blokes in football, Tom Campbell was at my gym today. Still lives this side of town, I've seen him training with Ben Brown in Kensington a little while back too

Didn't chat - I'm guessing, functional workouts and extras (which is what it seemed like he was doing) and being a decent guy?
I suspect if he was an arse he would have been booted out of the system many years ago. I know north were huge wraps for the way he treated their draftees.

Joel Hamling to play his first AFL game this weekend since round 2 2022, which was his first game since round 1 2021, which was his first game since round 23 2019. Poor bloke has had a shocking run the past few seasons.
