I agree Kenterfied is an in between size. A bit like Savigni. that gives Subi a chance. 

i think Subi were hiding Mayo a bit. He'll need to play more forward this year. We just got out-marked all year down there. 

Murdoch did well up front for the sharks in the gf. that was surprising. sometimes you don't need a big forward to dominate. From memory , it was the pace of the Sharks forward line that worked. but overall, i think Dixon was a better option than Stradinka and Teakle. i might be wrong. just a gut feeling. 

Tholstrup off to melbourne as expected. Good luck to him

So Tholstrup and Collard gone as expected but we have managed to keep special K at this stage, although still the pre season sup and mid season draft to come, but if he goes in one of those we will be fucked with no time to replace him at that stage 

Yep...we got out of it relatively unscathed at this stage given Collard didn't play league, Tholstrup only a handful of games and we keep Kentfield....but as you say DG, still the supplementary and midseason drafts to come.

Just wondering why the WAFC and the SANFL have not made more of an issue about these tacked on drafts, especially the mid season draft which was originally intended for replacing long term injured players. Given all AFL teams have reserves or alignments, they should be forced to use their own player resources. If a backman goes down, get a backman from your ressies, dont rip a top shelf player from the 2nd tier comps mid season with the potential of derailing that clubs season. Losing guys like   G Clark, Kentfield, Mayo, Savigni,  etc would be disasterous for us, same for the other 7 WAFL teams losing similar A graders.

Spot on SS. The AFL clubs are using it to secure youngsters with potential and by-passing the preseason draft.
