So can we only draft one rookie? (plus Smith as a category B)
I think we can draft 1 category A rookie, plus another 3 category B rookies if we wanted RG. Most likely we'll draft 1 of each.

Agre with Bully, Stefan Giro, hard working ball magnet and from SA. Good chance to give them another nose bleed!!

Giro will be long gone before our pick 18. Wish we didn't win the premiership :p

Jack Roughsedge

Had injury issues the last 2 years, played the late in the year for Chargers and stepped straight in and nearly won the BnF off the back of a handful of games.

When he was out injured he took on coaching roles with Oakleigh which I think says a lot too.

He'd be an absolute bargain, and comes with strong leadership (was Chargers captain in 2016) & is a super super high character individual.
Yes!!!!!!!!
A man who knows his Oakleigh players.

I saw him do his knee at training, very unlucky.

If our scouts have been doing their homework, they will jump all over this dude. Great leader as you say.

So what part of the ground needs to be addressed in event of injury.
I would of though it may be KPD. If Rance/Astbury go down who do we turn to?

One of our Academy kids, played 5 VFL games this year as 23rd player.

As he didn't get drafted , we get a free hit at him & will nominate him as a Cat B rookie

Other than Garthwaite, who may still not be ready.
