I would like to snare a ruckman for future development - someone like Gach Nyuon?

We definately need a young ruckman but also the more I think of it, a CHF would also be a great acquisition. Not a hybrid ruck/forward type filling in but a genuine marking player in the mould of Cam McCarthy. Would love to get him!

Bailey Rice, Son of Dean has decided to join St.Kilda as a Father Son, overlooking Carlton.


- Sam Landsberger, Herald Sun.

That's gotta help Carlton supporter understand where their club sits in the scheme of things. I bet there was deluded Carlton supporters who thought him ignoring St Kilda was a formality.

I doubt Aaron Francis will last all the way to the Dogs, but he is a gun. The above is from a League match vs CDFC on the weekend.


From Glenelg, I expect that Matt Allen, (power forward, has been siggestions that he could play as a midfielder, had to choose between cricket and footy) Mason Redman (slick outside player, good size, good skills, plenty of dash) and maybe big Tim Sullivan (ruckman who did his ACL at the start of the year) will be under strong consideration .

Mason Redman went very well at the Combine last week, a birdy tells me that the Dogs have been watching him closely.

I am getting too old, he looks younger than Bailey Dale who already looks 14

Just looked up some youtube highlights, plays very tall for a bloke who's only 187cm. Before checking his height I thought he may have been a genuine centre half forward!

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Which way do the % work GVG, for instance, does 76% mean better than 76% or better than 24%?

Good news. I like what I've seen from him, albeit that is a limited amount. He looks like a player that could transition to AFL well and may be around the mark for our second selection.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. It's the rating of those that tested in that particular combine against their peers. In most of the tests, the higher number indicates a better result. 75% means you are in the top 25% bracket of those tested.

Eric Hipwood looks like the next Brian Lake

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Eric Hipwood looks like the next Brian Lake

At the combine he measured in at 202cm and 83.6kg.
His jumping skills were very good and he is quite the athletic package

5mtr 1.04 (84%) 10mtr 1.76 (81%) 20mtr 2.97 (75%)
Agility 8.68 (31%)
Repeat sprints 25.27 (66%)

He didn't compete in the beep test

He would be a very difficult player to pry away from Brisbane

Can they choose what tests to do?
