Never.

Even if Panos turned into a serviceable AFL player, the club are forging a culture of being true to their word and that is far more valuable.

Excellent point- and furthermore they were bound by the AFL to pick up both Newton & Meeson, if no others took them.

We'd better watch out. If we end up where we are now, Darling could become a very serious chance to join us.

Maybe MFC should have picked Panos over Meesen in the Rookie Draft.. A decision they may later regret, only time will tell.

Moot point I'm afraid, Meesen was a list clogger who was retained as a rookie through the new rule. The issue was whether to pay him out mid contract (V poor iMO) or rookie him and pick up another young fellow through the draft. Rookying Meesen and Newton cleared the way for Gawn and Fitzy

Here are some video highlights of all the All Australian selections.

I think the strength of this years KPP are stronger than what was on offer last year - which would vindicate BP & Co's decision to take Gysberts (although I think his first two games did that anyway!)

We shouldn't just focus on the Forwards on offer - both Watson & McCarthy look solid prospects aswell and Hurley has proven in recent times that while he was drafted as a fullback the option to be moved foward is a strong possability.

Personally, I like the look of May and while hes only 190 now - they are only 17/18 yrs old so plenty of time to get those extra 2-5cms to be that ideal size.

Forwards

Agree with all you state- however I do think May & Darling will make it although they are only 190 cm tall.It will be interesting when & who pick them up.

I noticed that May is in fact 190ish tall. IMO he's too slow to play as a 3rd tall & not tall enough nor quick enough for a key spot forward.

Darling I haven't really seen that I recall.

I noticed Day the other match @ Princes Park, but didn't have the No's, records sold out.

After I saw the numbers on the net days later I realized which boy he was. He looked very good.

This is paramount!!

So too would the Gold Coast, and given they have zoned access to the NT he will no doubt be picked up under their zoning allowance (does that mean GC wouldn't even need to use a pick in the ND on him????)
