    Re: Mid Season Draft 2024

    Ooh - a small forward!! Think McNeill’s papers stamped. Perhaps not a lot of confidence in Clarke or Arty either.

    Our day will come
    And we'll have everything.
    We'll share the joy
    Just like '54 again.

        A natural small forward. I'm happy it wasn't Bianco nothing personal but not a real need.

            AOD was recruited as a small forward the club said. So this is a like for like replacement.

                Good point bulldogtragic. Presumably our pick is quick too.

                    His running capacity was highlighted as a strength.

                        Kelsey Rypstra. Any SA woofers know anything about our Kelsey?

                                What a lovely surprise in picking a player of genuine need.

                                Now let's abuse the shit out of him for trying to make a career out of things.
                                TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                                    Happy with that. Not expecting anything out of the pick but hopefully he can find something of needs in the rough.

                                    Did Bianco get picked yp by anyone else? Selfishly I want him not to get picked up and stay with us at Footscray.

                                        I wonder if this appointment means he and Clarke are the VFL small forwards, and Arty gets moved into a role more suited to his athletic gifts?

                                        Agree with Josie. Surely McNeil goes at years end and we give this kid a chance for another 12 months if he’s not a complete bust. Which unfortunately McNeil is.

                                                    Good call. We've got the balance of the season to see if Rypstra can make an impact.

                                                        Would be nice, with one pick, if we recruited a small pressure forward (Ryp) and a wing/HBF (Arty). Both with pace and one more a natural forward by the looks of Ryp and one more suited up the ground in Arty. Will be interesting to see what the VFL team does with a view to developing both.

                                                            Good point, filling one position could also solve another spot or two.
