i read an article in Inside Footy on Carltons mistake in throwing big money at Robbie Warnock, who has been overtaked by Sam Jacobs as second ruck and is languising in the reserves

Good to see the blues make mistakes with drafting, and thanks for Gyberts as well :P

It's not a big mistake, only $1.6 million over 4 years.

We would have made the same mistake, except he probably would be getting a game for us.

I wouldn't completely give up on him yet, although the fact he is getting paid a similar amount to what Gary Ablett has over the last few years is embarrassing for him.

Colossal mistake would be closer to the mark. 4 years they have to blow cash on a kid who's not up to it. Disaster.

I'm still not sure if that is funnier or if Collingwood having 3 first round picks as ruckmen is.

Hmmm. I'm calling it a draw at the moment.

On progress to date its been a poor investment and they have got little.

I am glad MFC did not get him on that basis. Not happy to give long contracts to unproven players.

We were after him as well, he could have been on our list right now...

But not at that price and length of contract.

This might be a bullet missed by MFC.

We seemed to have done well in the past few years in different situations

1. Warnock

2. Prismall

3. McLean

4. TJ

You missed 2008 PSD

I think he meant in list management terms not drafting terms. In that light, 2008 PSD was just a very fortunate consequence, but wasn't really the core outcome. Edit: or maybe not :)

On a side note, how much has Barry Prendergast been KotD since being in the job? Watts, not having to make the choice between Scully and Trengove, having Liam Jurrah fall in to his lap... Lucky bloke.

BP still gets a big tick for late picks like McKenzie, Bennell & Jetta, who have all been very handy at times and will continue to be going forward.

Of course, we have been in the 'fortunate' position of being able to play and develop these kids from day dot.

In the end recruiters like BP always have and always will be judged based on their choices that turn out to be failures.

So far he has had none Jury is out on Blease & Strauss for a start.

(I know Blease has been a lot of bad luck, but over time that has mattered little in regards to the Molan selection).

In any case he has made no glaring mistakes, even if that is too hard to judge yet.

Rohan Bail has looked okay to date.

Thing is, we really don't have a second ruck, so he would slot nicely into our 22...well, not nicely, it means taking somebody out of the team, which is hard enough already

Knew I was forgetting one.

You forgot another two who were picked up by Carltank ---

Mrs Judd (not sure whether she was first round draft pick or PSD??) :) and

Her son Chris - Not a bad player but looking like MFC better off not getting him as would have had to give up at least a couple of our young guns.

I think he will turn out ok for them! They have deffinetly paid over the odds but they did that on reletavily untried talent, i would really like too have him in our team right now (no wear near the price carlton payed) as Johnson and Meeson are not playing and have struggled, Spencer is a long way off and Gawn is a long term (very exciting) prospect. Warnock would most likely get a game with us, he is missing out at carlton because the other Ruckman are playing well!

Robbie will be a fine ruckman. I would chase him. Cut his wage bill by a quarter, a second round draft pick or/and someone like Addam Maric, maybe a Strauss to get the deal down.

Would take him for a second rounder

Need a ruckman and both clubs rated him highly and he would allow Jamar to push forward.

Both clubs rating him highly means he has to be at least ok, just needs a couple of full seasons and no injuries.

Think the talent is there.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
