Phil Davis has passed the torch on to Harvey Thomas, who will wear the number 1 jumper next season. This is a huge accolade for the young gun and hopefully invigorates the younger players!

Pick 18: Ollie Hannaford Pick 19: Harrison Oliver Pick 24: Cody Angove

Going into this draft I expected Caruso to get up to his tricks, and I was not surprised at all with our first two picks despite what was on the board. Both Hannaford and Oliver are great picks in my opinion and I'm sure many are very happy that they ended up with us. Our third pick however...

Cody Angove is definitely a player who fits our game style but surely we could've taken him with our third pick (was 34) and traded this pick for North's (!!) future first. I can't wrap my head around Angove being supposedly worth more than a first round pick, nor can I think of any team who may take him before our next pick. Either Caruso and the list management team have gone crazy or they're secretly geniuses who have everything planned out. Very much a Caruso pick

Supposedly we'll be looking to trade our next pick away as well, only planning on getting Logan Smith tomorrow night.

Edit: On second thoughts regarding the north trade, it's very likely they offered their F1 for our pick + a F1 (or equivalent) back which would make a lot more sense for us to deny.

I havn't had the opportunity to be fully across the aflw this season like in previous years so i might be missing something incredibly obvious, but we seem to be very poor...again.

This season we are 1- 7 (plus 1 draw) with a percentage of 70.9
Last year we finished 2-8 with a percentage of 50.8

We started this season really well with a 72 to 9 win, we have had a few close losses but our last three losses have been by 34 points, 64 points and yesterday 37 points.

Just wondering if anyone whos been across it this season could let me know what the situation is with the team, is it an injury issue or are we just comparatively that poor.

Penalising someone for a twin towers joke seems like a pretty big overstep by the AFL and something that will confuse the issue of where the line is drawn rather than clearing it up. Upholding moral and ethical standards doesn't mean stepping in every time someone engages in dark humour on a mad monday.

With culture problems and Toby not playing at his best whilst being captain, maybe it’s time for a change?

Tom carries himself really well, is a great speaker, he’s from Canberra and always flys the flag. Or maybe (seeing as the role of captaincy seems to diminish on field performances at our club) it should be a less critical player or a veteran like Cal? I’m not saying this would fix everything but it feels like it could be a step in the right direction.

Soz for the quality of my photoshop

I know footy isn't everything but it can certainly be a big part of our lives.

Just wanted to make sure the Orange Army of Reddit is all good after a strange few weeks.

We got this!

What are everyone’s thoughts? I don’t know if I have it in me to cheer on Jake Stringer…

When do you think we will actually win a flag, every year we place top 8 I genuinely think we can win this thing. But every year some bullshit happens. After what happened this year I honestly don’t think it will be within the next 3 years

I never heard if we have any academy kids coming through this year. Anyone know?

Apologies in advance for this non-footy question, but does anyone know what is Josh Kelly's goal song? Thanks!

Perryman, Peatling, Cumming, Haynes, XO, Derksen and now there is some noise around Conor Stone and Aleer.

None would be in our top 15 players right now (except maybe Pez) yet all being offered big money and big years around the league.

Big offer from Collingwood could land us band 1 compo which is pick 15.

Not to bad?

I know with the way that finals went it is easy to wallow. But I want to know what the funniest moment, or your favourite moment was from this season?

One of mine is this stupid ass game we were forced to play in wind central, an absolute embarrassment committed by the AFL in the FINAL GAME of the season (and important for our ladder position). This moment with the ball still makes me laugh. I’ve never seen something fly in the opposite direction so much!

They couldn’t even let us have the most embarrassing way to finish an otherwise great season. /s

lmao, even
