    We recruited Grundy as a forward and play him as a key defender (thank god in some ways..) We have Lewis Johnston, another key forward, trailing as a key defender and TDL our main attacking forward at the moment, apparently needs to become more defensive in chase and tackle...

    We need to rethink how we use our current recruits and make them attacking forwards. Understand that we need to lock the ball in our forward line, over just a thought, Goodesy on wing, LJ at FF, TDL in the pocket, Sam Reid at CHF and leave them there for the rest of the season. Rotate some others through the flanks. Rest a ruckman in the pocket if needed and heaven forbid that ROK is allowed to play a game HFF....! (being an all Australian in that position and all) Nipper seems to appear in the 2nds best give him some more chances..


    Take the hurt with White sell him to the highest bidder. He is not a ruck and not making it at FF!

    You don't get firsts experience in Canberra!

    Just wondering if any of the people who reguarly watch the ressies have seen any talent in that league,surely some of the canberra teams must have a few good young types or they wouldnt be in that league?

    Any information would be much appreciated.

    I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl Warren

    What's wrong with Ben McKinley? He started on fire at WCE and then off to Roos and now in VFL.

    Yeah was wondering that myself,he seems to have kicked a few at reserves level although not massive numbers,be worth looking into if there wasnt much about.

    Rob-Bloods i agree but i started this thread as a look to what may be around if at seasons end its needed,sorry if ive done something wrong just thought it would be interesting to see whats about.

    Was going to do an under 18's one as well but im starting to get the picture i should stop.

    McKinley is too similar to Aarom Edwards. Both are short forwards who play tall

    Cheers guys. Wasn't sure why he wasn't getting a game at the Roos and why he was traded.
    None of those names inspire me. I think we will have to uncover them ourselves and be patient.

    Please keep it up - it's an interesting topic and it's worthy too see who's out there, u18s included. Thanks

    Cheers,ill take a bit more time with the under 18's and try and find out more about players such as height and whether they are kpp's.

    I guess the lists ive done so far are a bit lacking,hopefully i can dig up more info on the younger prospects.

    Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge of the WAFL might help me out sometime as its been a real breeding ground for good forwards in the last few years and it seems there's plenty there this year too but not knowing what stage of their careers they are at or what positions i guess its hard to comment.

    Whats Chris Dawes contract situation? He may be looking to move perhaps for the right price? Also T.Cloke is their number 1 forward now. I see in an earlier post someone says he is a hack?? Far from it IMO.
