I think that there was a notable decline in the VFL standard of umpiring when the AFL went to four field umpires. They'd take the good VFL ones and there would be a knock on effect.

Yes good point

SO do we keep JJ boys and girls? I'm a yes.

He has leg speed and a line breaker. More than happy to extend him for one more knowing that he is at an age where soft tissue injury may get hold of him. Rookie him if need be, has that point of difference that someone like Cleary does not. Speed is the way moving forward and for that reason Arty Jones, Baker and JJ should be prioritized over a Clarke, Poulter, Cleary type with no obvious AFL attribute

If we can't find a year for JJ, we're doing list management very wrong.

Can already see next year being a big clean out with players we signed too long

Are you also trying to just hurt BAD? He's never going to sign off on that.

He has too many kilos on him

Well one thing at least we'll find out soon who's staying and who's going now.

Watched none and coming in hot.

Could Woodcock be a player at AFL level?

I seem to recall you were a bit of a fan of his a year or two ago. He can play alright.

Lets not forget he's short, slow and from the VFL which aren't necessarily on the bornadog wish list.

Yes, he was a good contributor at SANFL level in his draft year (when I jumped onboard) and when Port delisted him, thought he held interest. He may not be quite quick enough for the modern game (or versatile enough) at AFL level. He’s a smart footballer though.
