He was taken in the rookie draft and you would want to give up pick 2 or 3 for him?

Dazzle's response to your post

You look absolutely silly here.. why?

Daniel Talia who just won Adelaides best and fairest and in the All Australian 40 squad averages 11.8 disaposals per game this year. He played all 22 games.

I would happily give up first round draft pick.

So you're saying there is no relevance to Talia in what you and Dazzle were discussing. Just tell me again he was referring to Frost as winning Adelaide's best and fairest and being included in the All Australian Squad.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight Olisik. But keep climbing Mount Stupid because one day you will reach the summit

Paul Puopolo was taken pick 66 - what would you give up for him.

Where you were taken in a draft has zero relevance - can he play and what does the club think he is worth is the only relevant consideration

Other worthy players taken in the rookie draft -

B: Josh Gibson, Ben Rutten, Dale Morris

HB: Harry O'Brien, Mal Michael, Tadhg Kennelly

C: Kieren Jack, Brett Kirk, Matt Priddis

HF: Brad Sewell, James Podsiadly, Ryan Crowley

F: Stephen Milne, Russell Robertson, Aaron Davey

Foll: Dean Cox, Matthew Boyd, Michael Barlow

I/C: Aaron Sandilands, Tarkyn Lockyer, Andrew Carrazzo, James McDonald

It's quite amusing to have some inside knowledge of the situation, then seeing posers like Picket Fence making strong obvious proclamations, and acting as if they have some idea of the real situation when the reality is that they don't.

They've just hitched their star to an obvious wagon that most remain unsure of, then hammered the point home with such surety as they attempt to convince others their bluff is legit.

Laughable really.

Yeah well part of the info I already had was that

A) Best mate Rivers was already there

and now

B) Girlfriend is a Geelong girl with family affinity with Geelong and so another part of that puzzle was revealed today ( Although I already knew that from an informed sauce and it formed part of my reasoning) the main part however is still to be played out and when it does it will be as I have said. I will say though that unless a "Ship in the knight" takes the wind away I remain 99% convinced that Geelong will be his destination.

Laughable really! But Logical if so inclined!

Onya bike Frawley. We don't want you type here anymore!

Even if you stayed, you would need to be looking deep into your teamates eyes every game.

Congrats, you linked 1 post from a whole series of posts, I know who we were discussing as I started the conversation about Frost, read my earlier post. Pathetic response to ur fail post at trying to tell me who I was talking about.

He mentioned Talia to justify the low posession count and then replied abt Frost/what he would pay.

Stay out of conversations if you cant even follow them rather then making a fool of youself.

Read post #2056 and don't worry no need to apologise it's probably genetic and you can't help it

Daniel Talia was still available when we took Lucas Cook in the first round, Crows pounced after us.

Do yourself a favor and give up now

I think it was actually the year we took Gysberts 2 picks ahead of Talia...

You may well be right Machsy, in fact you are probably 100% right whichever year it was I am certain Talia was not taken in the Rookie draft

Yes, Rivers is there. Good mate. Frawley is in his upcoming wedding party, so it's true that there is a strong lure.

Also the girlfriend, yes, I know, met her a few times myself. But being in Geelong itself is not a priority.

Still, what you represent as being "done" based on a few convenient facts making it very likely are what make you full of ****.

Blind freddy could see that it was likely.

Over the line? It probably is now. But not when you said it.

And I'm at the stage of no longer caring enough to bother my sources.

Which part of the sentence "Frost was taken in the rookie draft" is too hard for you to comprehend?

You 2 still going at each other?????

FWIW the way i read olisik's post about 'player x' being taken in the rookie draft, he was referring to Frost (well that's the way i interpreted his post).

As for Daniel Talia, he was drafted at pick #13 in the 2009 draft, 2 spots after we drafted Lucas Cook at #11.

He thinks you were referring to Talia when you were talking about the player taken at pick #1 in the rookie draft. No doubt you know that, but no-one on this board ever wants to concede defeat....................ergo, this pi$$ing contest is still going on.

Which i'm finding very entertaining, to the point where i want to interject!!!

Yeah I know he thinks that but the link was about Frost.

Nethertheless I hope we dont pay overs for the kid. 4th or 5th round at most I hope.

Oh Bring me an over proof bottle....

what makes it even worse is Prendergast said he rated Gysberts the third best midfielder in the draft behind Scully and Trengove (overlooking Martin)!!!!!

He sure knew how to pick 'em

*cough* Fyfe.

just stop

Prendergast built an elite midfield for us in one year.

The stuff of genius.

What people seem not to understand is that not everyone has the same approach to life and relationships.

Speaking personally, I think Frawley has a duty of care, not only to himself, but to his current employer and, in this case, to a struggling football club that has had, and continues to have, its back completely against the wall.

That a leader of the club has openly stated that he will not talk to the club until 'the end of the year' in circumstances where he has allegedly spoken to at least one other (much stronger) club is, in my view, pathetic.

That people don't get this perspective also surprises/intrigues me.

I think this is a different point though, RB. People seem to hold up this idea of him being a loyal country boy as if it means anything. It's a load of superstitious/bizarre garbage.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
