    Interesting that Eagles haven't re-signed Brander. They have an old list and he is young and talented yet they are willing to trade him. I get the impression from an article I read about him in May that there might be a query over his desire and dedication.

      If the Eagles have not signed Brander yet have had seven delistings /retirements already, and he has been seeking a contract since August, we should stay away.

            Are "The Ludwig's" going ahead with the full red carpet this year or just a zoom?

              Looks like Helen Housby star of the NSW Swifts netball team that won the 2021 Netball GF is staying with the Swifts and not returning to the UK.

              Helen also happens to be Barry Occonors partner.

                I think Sheather will prove another astute selection in the Ludwigs.

                If only because it will drive BT to distraction between identifying Heeney from Sheather.

                But also from what I've seen, he is a real goer with decent skills

                  Be careful. Only The Bloods is allowed to claim future stars.

                      My partner just confirmed that the signing was made official 8am to the media this morning re Housby staying with the Swifts till end of 2023

                      Hopefully that is a good sign re Oconnor

                          Was he gracious in accepting it ..
                          Great choice
                          I can’t wait to see the last two award winners making an impact in firsts like the preceding too ..even Ronke might make a cameo if he gets over his injury woes

                            I think they are referred to colloquially as the "Luddies". Still waiting for my invite...

                                Presumably the term “star” is a reference to his Luddies triumph?
