Do you think we should chase someone like Jetta, just so JUH has someone to look up to and set the standards required and keep him from developing homesickness?
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

JUH is from Framlingham in Victoria and has been in the Melbourne bubble since year 9.

Let JUH create his own legacy and attract other indigenous players. He won't have the "go home" factor as he is a Vic Country boy and resided in Melbourne the past couple of years. He spoke on ABC about his friendship group through the Scotch College Academy with other Indigenous players and how they regularly catch up.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
So we have 2 primary list/category A rookie spots to fill. It seems MacPherson will fill a rookie spot - what will we do with the other position?
I assume either we take a second rookie today or we leave it open for a possible DFA or undrafted player to be signed at a later date (perhaps after training with us over the pre-season).

Sorry if this has been mentioned already somewhere and/or is obvious, but where is Roarke Smith in all of this?
We committed to redrafting him and possibly adding Hayes & Cav to the rookie list - then the next media release confirms we’ve locked in Cav & Hayes as rookies with no mention of Roarke?....

Didn't Roarke re-sign a deal on the main list?

That’s what I’m assuming, but there’s been no media confirming that (that I’ve seen)

Completely forgot about Roarke! Yes he will be added either to the primary or rookie list (there has been no clarification of which list that I am aware of and he could be added to either). MacPherson to the rookie list. We may add Raak as a category B rookie. At that will be the end of that, no small forward or key back will be forthcoming unfortunately.

Honestly why didn’t we go for Winder with our last pick? Nothing against Bedendo but that pick was always hugely speculative. Why not go for needs? Winder filled our small forward needs. We could even have potentially taken Bedendo later instead of persisting with Hayes. Maybe there was go home factor with Winder?

I was also surprised we didn't go for him.
