On par with my Ectomorph comment PD.

Worse.

Much worse.

Although it was 2009 and some still defend him.

    I agree with PD that Hannibal can't claim any credit for spruiking Hogan and advocating we select him. As he pointed out when someone gave credit to Neeld for selecting him (when really for his career prospects he needed instant results rather than waiting a year for a top pick to be eligible to play) picking Hogan was a complete no brainer and Neeld should get no kudos or credit for doing so. So PD is spot on and big bad Hannibal should not get any credit either.

    I think much of the "give credit to Neeld" for drafting Hogan was to counter balance of "kick Neeld for drafting Toumpas.". Neeld was either involved in drafting or he wasn't. Give him credit for both or none.

    On Roos - he is on record as saying he has little input into drafting ( although you take a lot of what Roos says with a grain of salt).

    • 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.
