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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
