Poor Taylor Adams.....after finally returning to play after so long, via the VFL today, he went off with another hamstring injury in the first quarter no less.

Really feel for him after all the work he has put in to get back.....he may well hang up the boots after this setback.

PS: Just saw that there is a VFL thread.....this would already have ben covered.

It is actually quite a relief that no Academy kids are in the top 30, as we will almost certainly be unable to match any bids given our hand and the new rules. Hopefully aa few good ones slip down to pick 37 and later, where we can just swoop in with our next available pick.

None of players are listed in the top 30, but quite a few of them are mentioned as potential risers.

Hamling played well in defence in the seconds. I love the idea of Snell, but that would leave us with very inexperienced key defenders, so maybe they swop Snell for Kyle but that is unlikely.

AAAH - Jmac not Tmac. Ok - Ill try again with Cunningham, who was probably our best in the VFL.

So who comes in for JMac?
