    Yes good point

      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

                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.
                        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
