Xavier Richards likely to go to Essendon.

Geelong and Adelaide are set to secure father-sons Sam Simpson and Ben Jarman respectively.

---------------------------------------------

A raft of halfback flankers are available on Monday. Mitch Hinge, Sam Walker, Bailey Morrish and Jack Henry should all find their ways onto a league list.

Oscar McInerney, 22, is the standout ruck prospect. The 204cm Montrose lad won the league medal in the VFL reserves, playing for Melbourne’s affiliate Casey Scorpions.

Hamish Brayshaw, the brother of Melbourne hard nut Angus, is also a chance to find a home.

GWS academy prospect Zach Sproule will appeal as a 196cm swingman.

Kym LeBois shapes as the most promising small forward. The Ceduna kid is the nephew of 1993 Brownlow Medallist Gavin Wanganeen as well as brothers Alwyn and Aaron Davey.

LeBois plays in the Davey mould but stands only 173cm.

at that height he is as good as ours



Only if the Bulldogs don't pounce first :snidegrin

My 3 cents worth in this...I would love the club to throw the dice with Tony Olango

We really need another ready to go KPP more than anything - preferably a defender, though one that can play both ends would certainly be handy...

Zach Sproule fits that bill.

Is perilously close to 200cm, do you know if he has stopped growing?

He fits the "almost over 200cm" profile so hopefully they do their due diligence
Being from Albury, NSW, he also fits the "going home" factor.
LOL

It would certainly address Chol's 'go home' profile issue.  ;)

Who went before him?

How many stuffing small forwards do we stuffing need?
