The WXV Media account has been MIA. Have not been online for about 2 months also! One can only wonder what they have been up to...

Found a nice write up from July on the lesser known Dubliners

Ryan Gardner: Has moved forward for 13 goals in six games after Mark Blicavs' form shut the door on his prospects as a key defender. Picking up the nickname 'Plugger' internally, the out-of-contract Tasmanian will need a big VFL finals series to keep his spot on the list.

Kieran Collins: The hulking key defender was sidelined with an ankle injury until recently, and his form in the VFL since has been sound. With only one senior game in three years at the club, the out-of-contract 20-year-old would be feeling nervous.

Dan Nielson: Nielson has played well at times in the VFL, but is stuck behind Robbie Tarrant, Scott Thompson, Majak Daw, Sam Durdin and Ben McKay in the key defender pecking order.

Harrison Macreadie: The 196cm defender played a handful of games in his maiden season at the club, but has seen his development stunted by fitness issues this year. He's currently battling a hamstring problem.

Matthew Hayball: Stuck behind a number of running defenders in his third year at the club and looks up against it to be retained. Delisted and re-rookied last season, the South Australian has played 11 of a possible 12 VFL games this year.

Noah Balta: Second-round draft pick from last year who has developed in the VFL this season, both in defence and up forward. Has impressed with his athletic ability through stints in the ruck but needs to work on his contested marking.

Elliott Himmelberg: An exciting 198cm key forward prospect who continues to develop his game in the SANFL in his second season on the list. The 20-year-old is signed until the end of 2020.

Ray Connellan: The Irish rookie was closing in on a debut late last season but has been a bit further away in 2018. Lightning-quick, but struggles to stay involved in the play.

Toby Pink: The tall forward is out of contract at the end of the year and hasn't played much footy because of a serious ankle injury. Could battle to stay on the list next year.

Nobody broke away with the Best and Fairest this year but will give it to Goldy. Was on fire in the second half of the season when it mattered. only blemish was the first round final game but he went 110+ over the rest.

This is Goldy's 3rd Best and Fariest, just edging out Jelly who was also aiming for his 3rd. Goldy just got him in the end.

Zak Butters

Holz: We are stoked with this pick, honestly we didn't even have him on our draft board as we didn't see any situation where he would be available at pick 26. A high impact player who might not find the ball as much as some of the other draftees but when he gets it, he is elite. The plan is to stick Zak in Belfast but he might get called up at some point if required.

Senior Coach Holz: Given the rise of guns like Roids and MOC we have had to hire a full time coach for Belfast to look after all the depth of Dublin.

We are happy to announce the appointment of Meow as Head Coach of Belfast.

Coach Holz and Trent Dumont are all smiles after pick 4 has been shipped off for Trent Dumont and Tom Clurey from Beunos Aires.

Holz " Dumont will slot is perfectly into that utility role that was lacking for most of the year. We feel this season was just a blip and that the premiership window is well and truly open, adding a player like Trent at the cost of a pick is a silver lining for the poor showing of 2019. Tom Clurey will be handy depth as we re write the wrongs of 2019 and chase that 4th PremIErship."
