Going slowly. Not a lot of info coming out.
Pick 1: Olivia Wolmarans to Richmond
Pick 2: Scarlett Johnson to GWS
Pick 3: Kiera Yerbury to GWS. She was a Sydney Academy girl, but Sydney decided not to match.

Interesting about Yerbury with Sydney not matching. They can match with any pick within 18 selections. So, do they have their preference for another lass? Looks probable.
Things are going pretty slowly.
Interesting.

Whats that rule about matching with a pick within 18 selections?

Seems simple enough to work well.

They're actually all very good kicks of a football, you're not getting drafted if you can't kick.
It's usually decision making and execution under pressure that determines if a player makes it.
Binns didn't get much of a chance considering Chesser is 18 months older, has had more opportunities in a poor side and hasn't shown he can cut it anymore than Jaxon did.

Gun laws might need a tweak, but it is the enforcing that appears to be lacking. If laws get ignored or not followed because it is too hard, then things like this will happen.
Laws are being followed by 99.99% of the population. I recently had to take ownership of my brothers firearms because his licence lapsed and he had to go through the whole process as his "grace" period elapsed.
1. The district firearms officer contacted him and advised his to dispose of them that day or else.
2. Within a week of acquiring them, I had the local police contacting me to do a compliance inspection of the storage of all my firearms.
The bloke who committed the murders yesterday probably had his firearms stored legally also. If its not firearms, it's something else. Evil people will always find a means of inflicting carnage on others, it's the evil people you need to focus on getting rid of.
