Harry O''Farrell from CalderGoing to watch Sandy and Calder this week at RESA. Anyone in particular I should look out for?
His father is a QC and often represents Carlton players at the tribunal. We might be able to get him on board if we draft Harry. He shows a lot of potential as a key back.Harry O''Farrell from Calder

I think he shares it with Harry's dad Peter O'Farrell.Thought Carlton board member and QC Chris Townshend represented most Carlton players?
He's talented ,and would make a good CHB,which we need to develop ,among other things.His father is a QC and often represents Carlton players at the tribunal. We might be able to get him on board if we draft Harry. He shows a lot of potential as a key back.
That’s a pity, they are two players I was keen to follow closelySam Lalor injured not expected back until round 5-7,,,,Jonty Faull injured might be back in time for the Champs,,Flynn Penry out until maybe around the end of the season,foot injury which is not good,but at least he has time on his side.
Climate change??Then how do we explain the current recruitment issues?
Most likely it was the list requirements as defined by Blair but even that doesn’t make sense with Brown over JVR.Then how do we explain the current recruitment issues?
Whats Lalor done? Heard Sid Draper has shin splits as well, will miss six weeks.Sam Lalor injured not expected back until round 5-7,,,,Jonty Faull injured might be back in time for the Champs,,Flynn Penry out until maybe around the end of the season,foot injury which is not good,but at least he has time on his side.
Stress fractures. No good. They can be hard to get over.Whats Lalor done? Heard Sid Draper has shin splits as well, will miss six weeks.
Rightly or wrongly, our club takes best available over list requirements it seems.Most likely it was the list requirements as defined by Blair but even that doesn’t make sense with Brown over JVR.
It’s an inexact science but we do seem to make the wrong decisions a fair bit
What we sometimes forget is that JVR had a pretty ordinary season in his draft year. Our WA recruiter is well respected so I can only assume that he wasn’t pushing strongly for him either. I know both the Swans and Dees were very keen on Brown so we weren’t the only club that wanted him. Hindsight drafting is easy, not quite as straightforward at the time.Most likely it was the list requirements as defined by Blair but even that doesn’t make sense with Brown over JVR.

Difference is we have full time recruiters now, instead of 1 bloke wearing 15 different hats all at once. Nail this Draft & we are away.Apprantly we will trade out late picks to Carlton because they need points to get the Camporlae boys.
Possible
Our pick 4
Carlton's pick 14
Freos 1st pick 8 and 2nd rounder.
We could possibly have another 5 in 30.
But 4 picks under 20.

Can't wait
Disappointing to hear that. Any players catch your eye ?Watched Eastern v Oakleigh. It’s a small sample of 2 games but Oakleigh is a total shambles. Heard some concerning things from a parent and it centres around the dreadful preparation they have had compared to Sandy and Eastern. No game plan, self preservation looks to have already crept in. I wandered out to their 3/4 time huddle and the coach told them to attack the corridor as last desperate act to try and salvage what was a fair old belting. Of course it didn’t work.
Pretty ordinary stuff by Oakleigh
Josh Smillie very good as were Eastern as a whole.Disappointing to hear that. Any players catch your eye ?
