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!

For Daniel talia yes not Frost.

 

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

Honest goers is what we will put our trust in.

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

Deemfc K Jack is a furphy in that list Swans got away with lieing through their teeth and the AFL let them get away with it.

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.

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

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....

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

Rivers first to Geelong, now Frawley.........defenders that both played in 186.........Stockholm Syndrome?

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
