Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Carlton’s Cody Walker tightrope + club-tied prospect’s HUGE game
Q: Where do you see Kobe Lecraer/Kobe LeCray fitting in the long term, given his versatile attributes?
Lecraer is seen as an exceptionally versatile talent whose best position isn't fixed; he's discussed as a potential half-back option or a wing/forward, with the emphasis on keeping him flexible so his skill set can maximize impact across several roles rather than pigeonholing him into a single position.
Carlton’s Cody Walker tightrope + club-tied prospect’s HUGE game
Q: What is your take on Tanner Armstrong's best position and how might he fit at the next level?
Armstrong is viewed as a tough, midfield-influenced player who could struggle if pigeonholed; his best fit may be a hybrid role that leverages his intensity and ball-winning ability, potentially transitioning to a half-back or lockdown defender role where he can impact without needing to be a pure midfield machine.
The latest AFL Mid-Season Draft whispers ft. Tim Hazell
Q: Which player do you see as having the most upside for a club in the next level?
Nick Starapoli is highlighted as having significant upside, with interest from Essendon and St. Kilda, and the discussion emphasizes his athleticism and unproven senior exposure as a factor in his potential upside.
Interview: 2025 AFL Draft Prospect Marcus Krasnadamskis
Q: How do you feel mentally potentially going into next year that you're mentally prepped and on top of that being physically prepped for AFL football?
I think with the stuff that I'm doing now will get me prepped for the first three weeks that you would go away for if you got drafted, and then just that Christmas break coming back would probably be a real big thing where I just knuckle down.
The FOUR clubs set to shape the draft + your questions answered
Q: Who do you think is better than what the consensus view is?
Players like Taj Murray and Harley Barker are underrated and could exceed expectations.
