All the talking points from the weekend’s talent pathway action - Archie Ludowyke, Cody Curtin, Ollie Greeves among the big name standouts + lots of club tied talent https://t.co/orqLKOZjcu And ICYMI last week’s story: https://t.co/GCSJCAfzPD For @CraftOTDraft via @zerohanger
Gippsland pick one contender Willem Duursma starts his season with a best afield performance in the midfield. Four scoring shots & did plenty of flashy things but of greater note was his will in the contest, having to date played most of his representative footy on the outside.
Always a fun exercise. Clear cut top bunch, even if there is still conjecture about the order they fall in. Have one player significantly higher than the mean, and four club-tied players in the top 10. Bring on 2025
