Sam Draper likely becomes the No.1 ruck for the Lions after Big O\u2019s retirement and moving in as a free agent. He played five games at an average if 82, which is +15 on his 2024 season. He was sharing the ruck with Nick Bryan in four of the five games hitting scores of 101 and 95 in the last two where he was the main man (Bryan injured early and then he missed).\u00a0 The positive for Draper is that he should keep his RUCK\/FWD status. A watch will be on what Fort\u2019s role will be in the team.<\/p>\n<p>Draper is going to be a value pick in Classic with 15-20 points upside on his priced at figure and an option for those punting rucks in Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Allen is priced at his lowest point of his career in Classic, but his best is only a season average of 64.1 in 2023. Will he be better as the mature target up forward with the kids in Morris and Gallop \u2013 and the injured Hipwood who is probably missing the early parts of the season? Probably. But is he a Fantasy option? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/draper.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/draper.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CAR_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CAR_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Blues were busy. You\u2019d think Ben Ainsworth, Oliver Florent and Will Hayward walk in. Hayward is a pass, Ainsworth is priced around 20 points below his best (average of 76 and 74 in \u201922 and \u201923). Maybe a watch if he gets to play higher and is used enough for the 5+ marks he would need.<\/p>\n<p>Florent is an interesting one. Is he likely a winger? Possibly, but is he gets time behind the ball, there is some upside on his 60 \u2013 only one year ago he played every game to average 76.3 and is coming in unders due to a couple of green vests. Going in as a MID-only really doesn\u2019t make him attractive in any format \u2026 Classic would see price too high when he gained DEF status, Draft you\u2019re going to be able to grab him as a free agent in the lead up to round six.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell Chesser is awkwardly priced. Does he fit on a wing? We haven\u2019t seen an epic Fantasy game from him \u2013 although he came in for scores of 70, 70 and 80 towards the end of the season. He\u2019s slightly discounted but even his seven WAFL games were at an average of just 63.<\/p>\n<p>One to keep in your back pocket could be Liam Reidy. Could be be one for the deeper keeper\/dynasty leagues. He\u2019s 25 years old, went at 103.9 in the WAFL from his 17 games (95.7 the year before) and was behind Darcy and Jackson at Freo. With TDK moving on, it\u2019ll be Pitbull\u2019s ruck to lose, but could it be Reidy\u2019s to gain at some stage? An R3 option.<\/p>\n<p>With Curnow off to the Swans, is Harry McKay likely to pull a consistent 80+ average? He\u2019ll be the main target.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chesser.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chesser.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/COL_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/COL_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Player<br \/>\nFrom<br \/>\nProj.<br \/>Position<br \/>\nPriced<br \/>at<br \/>\n2025<br \/>AVG<br \/>\n2025<br \/>GMS<br \/>\nEmoji<\/p>\n<p>Jack Buller<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SYDsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SYDsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nFWD<br \/>\n46<br \/>\n47.2<br \/>\n9<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>Jack Buller was a mid-season draftee in 2023 and played 10 AFL games.

Brayden Fiorini is coming off a solid season with a mid-80s average, his best since 2021\u2019s 105.3 from his nine games where he attended 57% of the Suns\u2019 CBAs (prior to that he had a 99.9 in 2019 from 21 games, 91.6 from 11 games and of course that debut score of 166 in 2016!). It\u2019s worth chucking in his last 5 seasons in the VFL where he\u2019s gone at 164, 132, 139, 140, 127. VFL PIG!<\/p>\n<p>Fiorini will be a winger, so that caps his potential \u2026 especially with Merrett staying now. The Dons are in need of that role player, so it\u2019s likely that will be his home but has the capacity to roll through the middle and help out when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Draper (and Goldstein) out will mean there is a watch on the rucks at the Dons, especially with Bryan missing the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/firorini.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/firorini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FRE_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FRE_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Player<br \/>\nFrom<br \/>\nProj.<br \/>Position<br \/>\nPriced<br \/>at<br \/>\n2025<br \/>AVG<br \/>\n2025<br \/>GMS<br \/>\nEmoji<\/p>\n<p>Judd McVee<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MELsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MELsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nDEF<br \/>\n55<br \/>\n54.5<br \/>\n17<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see Judd McVee on a half-back for the Dockers, but it\u2019ll be Jordan Clark as the key distributor.

Back in 2019 he went at 96.6 (second year breakout!) and repeated that with a similar BCV return. Since then, it hasn\u2019t been much to write home about. Where does he fit with the Cats? It\u2019s Atkins who had the most CBAs for them \u2013 and Worpel is the most like him \u2013 alongside Bazlenka and Holmes. While they were pretty tight with their key players in there, it\u2019s going to be a watch on how it all plays out \u2026 but Worpel isn\u2019t going to be someone I\u2019d target in any format \u2013 and it might mean some regression for others in the middle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5d9e6224e898cd6b77b765179803ef84.jpeg\" alt=\"James Worpel on why he joined Geelong, Andrew Mackie starstuck | Geelong Advertiser\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GCS_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GCS_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Player<br \/>\nFrom<br \/>\nProj.<br \/>Position<br \/>\nPriced<br \/>at<br \/>\n2025<br \/>AVG<br \/>\n2025<br \/>GMS<br \/>\nEmoji<\/p>\n<p>Jamarra Ugle-Hagan<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WBDsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WBDsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nFWD<br \/>\n44<br \/>\nDNP<br \/>\nDNP<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>Christian Petracca<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MELsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MELsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nMID\/FWD<br \/>\n90<br \/>\n90.3<br \/>\n23<br \/>\n\u2705<\/p>\n<p>The Suns got their man in Christian Petracca for a bit of a price. He looks like he\u2019s going to keep his MID\/FWD status and will continue to play that role \u2013 Anderson and Rowell have a mortgage on time in the guts. CP shares some time in there with Miller and Humphrey\u2026 and is probably ahead of those two, but the exact mix will be something that may evolve over the season. Will his 90 average be about what we can expect? Maybe. He\u2019s done that the last couple of seasons with 105, 111 and 112 from 2021-2023. The 29-year-old will be refreshed and keen to make an impact for a premiership contender. He\u2019ll almost certainly be a top-six forward.<\/p>\n<p>Jamarra Ugle-Hagan was given a lifeline. It\u2019s going to be hard to see him playing early, but he gets that 30% discount in Classic that prices him below the 60+ he\u2019s done in the past.

Oliver doesn\u2019t really play anything else. Is he same-same with Green? Oliver his a 90 average last season after being super-value due to his 78 season the year before. While he wasn\u2019t a knockout pick, he improved \u2026 but a long way from his 100+ career that was headlined by 113 and 115 in 2022 and 2023 \u2026 and let\u2019s not forget his second season of 102. He\u2019s been a pig, but have the Fantasy wheels fallen off and those things are in the past. It would take a brave coach to back him in to be better and the risk is too high to think he\u2019ll produce triple figures again in his career.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Signing-Clayton-Oliver-16x9-1.jpg\" alt=\"Happy As Clarry\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HAW_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HAW_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No incoming players.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t tweeted since the season ended \u2026 a deliberate thing as life is better without social media!

He delivered an average of 96 last season which was his lowest since 2018. Prior to that he\u2019d pumped our four out of five 100+ averages with 2021\u2019s 122 a career-high. He\u2019s going to have a role that suits him \u2013 there was a sub affected score of 25 and a shocker against Melbourne of 46 baked into his price. Maybe a flat 100 is about where he\u2019s at? It\u2019s always hard looking at what he could do at a new club. I like to be glass half-full, but also wary that they have a new coach.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Changkuoth Jiath averaged 72.3 and backed it up with 66.5 the following season. Solid. Last year he was sub in three of his 17 home-and-away games (all three finals). At some stage people thought they may have jumped on after scoring 113 and 107. This proved to be a bad call when 34, 62, 40 and a sub score of 18 followed. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>Brody Mihocek is a pass and old mate Max Heath won\u2019t be basement, so we don\u2019t want him as R3.

We saw an 88 average in his second year at the Suns from his eight games but it was the 95 average in 2022, his first season at the Dockers, that makes him well under-priced. Brodie hasn\u2019t got a game in the last two years. He averaged 88 and 82 in the WAFL over that time. Due to no AFL games for two years, he attracts a 35% discount on his last average of 67. Can the 27-year-old crack the team? I feel like he is depth with Butters and Horne-Francis the key players in there with Wines, Drew, Bergman in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe three\u2019s a wing spot for Jacob Wehr with Boak\u2019s retirement.

Jack Steele is out, and who knows where Macrae is now after being sub in the last game, everything has been talked up for him to be in the guts. We know that he can rack up, but looking at this 2024 average of 108 is a bit false considering that was part of his half-back role. 2023\u2019s 90 average was more about what we\u2019re thinking, specifically his last 10 games where a midfield role was his thing. He went at 105 over that stretch.

The issue for both TDK and Rowan Marshall is that they\u2019ll be playing in tandem and their numbers may not exactly be what we want in this new world of dual-rucks.<\/p>\n<p>Draft coaches may have Jack Silvagni in their sights later in drafts if they\u2019re after someone who should go around 70-odd while Liam Ryan is a pass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/flanders.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/flanders.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SYD_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SYD_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Player<br \/>\nFrom<br \/>\nProj.<br \/>Position<br \/>\nPriced<br \/>at<br \/>\n2025<br \/>AVG<br \/>\n2025<br \/>GMS<br \/>\nEmoji<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Rosas<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GCSsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GCSsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nFWD<br \/>\n33<br \/>\n26.8<br \/>\n4<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>Jai Serong<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HAWsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HAWsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nDEF<br \/>\n26<br \/>\nDNP<br \/>\nDNP<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcb0<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Curnow<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CARsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CARsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nFWD<br \/>\n66<br \/>\n65.8<br \/>\n18<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcc8<\/p>\n<p>He may not be a Classic pick, but Charlie Curnow\u2018s average of 66 last season is at least 10 points unders. There were some injuries and pretty horrific scores last season, but don\u2019t forget it was only two seasons ago he went at 87 with mid-70 averages the seasons either side. Swans fans should be excited and hopefully he can have a bump similar to Buddy in his first few years in the red and white.<\/p>\n<p>Jai Serong will be close to basement price. He won\u2019t be a big Fantasy man, but could be a DEF bench option if he gets a look in. He\u2019d be on the outer for now, but could end up being a role player. Serong averaged 89 and 94 in his last two seasons with Box Hill taking an average of 7 marks per game.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think anyone is picking Malcolm Rosas in any format.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/curnow.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/curnow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WCE_banner.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WCE_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"70\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Player<br \/>\nFrom<br \/>\nProj.<br \/>Position<br \/>\nPriced<br \/>at<br \/>\n2025<br \/>AVG<br \/>\n2025<br \/>GMS<br \/>\nEmoji<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Starcevich<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BRLsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BRLsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nDEF<br \/>\n46<br \/>\n45.7<br \/>\n10<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>Tylar Young<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RICsm.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RICsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nDEF<br \/>\n53<br \/>\n58.4<br \/>\n7<br \/>\n\u274c<\/p>\n<p>Eagles will enjoy having Brandon Starcevich in their team, but it\u2019d take a decent shift for him to be a Fantasy option.

We saw Fantasy scores of 65 and 83 at the end of 2023 and there was some interest. Connor Budarick has been good in his VFL games with an average of 107 this year (83 the year before). His role was all over the place this season with more time forward than in his past. He\u2019ll most likely line up as a defender for the Dogs as he probably plugs and plays for the retired Duryea.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dreamteamtalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/buda.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/buda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/dttalk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/celebrating.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"105\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-del=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/warnieprofile.jpg\" class=\"avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-60 photo \" height=\"60\" width=\"60\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Co-captain of DT Talk since we started this thing in 2007.
