If you had half a brain you'd know we were talking about 2004 leading into the draft

Guess I am not as smart as you, Eastie.

You are a heavy hitter in the intellectual department.

I bow down to you.

    Well how can that be true when Franklin shits all over him?

    It is true, because Hawthorn have acknowledged it. Richmond had the first pick. Hawthorn couldn't get him. So they got the next best. Simple.

    It's only in hindsight that Franklin is now the superstar. No -one saw how Franklin would become what he is now - back then.

    I'm pretty sure most recruiters saw superstar quality. It was his mental approach that they were afraid of.

    Did Buddy see football as a source of income to his extracurricular activities or did Buddy want to be the best AFL player he could be?

    I remember reading the Age about how he actually took a phone call and organised his weekend while he was being interviewed by a club. ( Richmond?)

    Haha I remember reading that as well.

    Vaguely recall someone was interviewed about what he was like on the U18s Gaelic tour (could have been someone like Garry Lyon) and even then he had an unbelievable swagger and a reputation the size of him.

    And we can guarantee that <insert media hacks here> will pick fault with whoever we take at pick one because they DON'T turn out to be better than Franklin within 3 rounds of their debut.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
