The only time the Ablett brothers got mentioned was when they started to play well. Just because they are pick number 1 doesn't mean they will work in your team.

No idea what you're trying to say but I'll take a punt...Ablett wasn't the only good player they received through father/son selections...

What you're saying regarding the 1st pick is true however in a season where we obviously aren't going to play finals I'd prefer to get the most out of it. If you look at the most recent number 1 picks Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy, Deledio etc, all of them are very talented kids and would all be in the top 5 in out current team. It's not just the Nov draft though, if we have first pick in the psd then we'll have a very handy weapon when it comes to trying to lure a player from another team. We'll have a couple of retirements at the end of the year so we'll have some cash to spend.

    What i meant about the Ablett bros was that just coz they are the son of a former player doesn't mean they will be talented, or adapt to your game plan well.

    I don't think Geelong is really talented, just trained well as a team with a few shinging stars. That sounds like most teams. They play for each other and most weeks (all so far this year) it has worked for them, any team, moderatly talented, can dominate the competition if you are working together like Geelong are.

    Geelong are a very good team that work hard for each other, but they have stars all over the ground. These 'stars' include several players picked up through father/son selections thus negating the need for Geelong to bottom out and receive pp's which was the original topic.

    I don't want Naitanui on our list.

    I couldn't stand having yet another player on our list none of the supporters can spell.

    Wonaeamirri

    Petterd

    Moloney

    Robertson

    Davey

    Miller (yes, some spell it Millar)

    is enough.

    Millar is actually a fairly common variation of the name Miller, same for Maloney/Moloney. I agree though, it annoys the buggery out of me to.

    It's going to take Minimum 3 years to get to the top 2 on the ladder. I want to shoot then for a Premiership, nothing less.

    Any gun players we may aquire now, need to be NO MORE than 26 - 27 years of age at that time to give us 2/3 good years at their prime. So there is no way that I want us to recruit anyone older than 24 years.

    In saying that my preferance is to get the kids from the early rounds.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
