hmmm - wondering if you know that for a 'fact' - or are you just a 'glass half empty' kind guy?

Im predicting Black and Manning.
Whoever we lose i hope they get picked up by an eastern states team.
Could not stand them playing for EP or Peel.

Reckon Lockyer will be picked byFreo as a rookie, already 2 -3 yrs under his belt Johnson + Mcpharlin on their last legs, be criminal to see this kid not get a proper AFL chance.......SS just too strong a side for the kid to break into.....as for Black....,..rookie at best.....Essendon maybe.....might need a mature ball winner to step in if players get suspended for 6 - 12 mths........is that youngster Michel from the colts old enough?....heard he was talented

Nothing isn't a 'fact' but it is a pretty educated guess. Lockyer I wasn't classing, but had a feeling about Freo as well. Will Michel is old enough.

Hey Guy's just having a look at our player list online and noticed the Sev Martin name is missing.
Has anybody heard anything or is it just an oversight.

I heard that Sev was playing on - not sure why not on list, might be a typo?

Black in my opinion while improved enormously has several issues, Small midfielder over populated for access to the AFL, too many soft ball gets (stats dont tell the true story here)applied little on ball pressure, but as I said , he's improving. Best of luck to him

Potente too small Im sorry, but you never know, there has been several who have made a name when their in and under mids.

Lockyer may find it hard as there are too many like him Im afraid in Freo and unless they see a different role for him his chances may be slim - but I wish him luck

Kody Manning has a great opportunity with several clubs looking Ive heard, and one in particular, I still rate him as the prime Pressure forward in the WAFL and his tackling is damn memorable, almost every time. It was obvious how important he is to the team by how he was missed at the back end of the season. Wonderfuly hard player and its beeing noticed.

Guessing it all comes dowwn to what clubs need after trading
Its one thing to speak too and look at players during the year, its another after delistings and trades and the draft what room is left for those in the waiting que

Can see Black being snapped up. Growler i only saw the Falcons a hand full of times last year but Black is a hard ball get player not to mention a Sandover medal. Manning has no tricks and cannt believe Potente even gets a mention on this thread. Could be a dry draft for the Falcons

We will lose no one I reckon, the outside chance will be Manning, the others are a dime a dozen !
