Pick 2 on The Table Again

[olisik 4,060]

If we score another Dom Tyson it's all worth it.

And where would we score that

[DemonOX 8,711]

Good to see the Toump sticking fat. Shows some decent commitment and character. Yet to see the best of him.

Well done Jimmy.

I liked this bit the best "But the 18-gamer has told his manager, Justin Reid from Elite Sports Properties, he wants to help lead the club out of the mire".

We need more of this from every single player on our list. Maybe if we did we would not be so inconsistent in our performances.

I know the jury is out on Toump at the moment but this is a bloody good mind set to start with.

We are crap and have been for 8 years but he still WANTS to stay.

Go for it Toump.

Im obviously from the , we didnt pick the right one camp here , but as my old dad says(said) What is, is. Toump is a Demon and wants to remain one and help

Kudos young man. Get well and super fit and get out there and do just that, please. Try and infect a few others with the can-do attitude while you at it, cheers

Completely out of the blue. Just like Dom Tyson.

Toumpas not considering a move

[Pennant St Dee 12,706]

Petracca doesn't excite me from the videos. Don't get me wrong all the videos of draftees look good but there doesn't seem anything too special for mine. Anyone seen him in the flesh that rates him highly?

I wrote about the WA vs Vic Metro game on the U/18 National Championship thread, went to the game to look at Brayshaw and it was Petracca who caught my attention

Unless the saints beat Richmond we are not going to get him PSD

How was Brayshaw ?

Deserves a thread

and i shall make one

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

You really cant figure it out in a thread about pick 2?

You really can't figure out that talking about some other bloke at another club that we didn't recruit last year is a completely subjective and completely pointless exercise

If you really think that using #2 to get Tyson and Salem was a bad move, and that we should not so something similar this year, then you're a fool and I am too busy to discuss this with you

Of all the top5 picks we've had at our disposal in the last 7 years (Watts, scully, trengove, morton, mclean, sylvia) trading one for Tyson was the only decent return we have had

That last line says it all C and B

Its completely relevant and your ignorant if you think otherwise.

Like I said, if you build your own business and sell it your going to be better off then just buying a pre existing business.

Same goes with players, your better off developing one from scratch then trying go buy ones which have been developed elsewhere.

Depends on what you buy it for and what the upside is, how well you can develop it and what you can sell it for. You could be better off in either scenario, same with players.

very much... its all relevant

[samcantstandya 1,031]

So lets give up on the draft because of BP and go for bandaid solutions forever.

Its about time we fixed things from the ground up and not keep trading for run of the mill hardworking mids.

Please don't trade y have recruiters??????

You wont beat your competition buying off them.

actually ....you can. If you dont have the liability of the overheads and have a better cash flow you indeed can.

[jnrmac 19,905]

Yeah lets inject another 8 18yos and we'll turn around really quickly.

Yep just ask Dean Bailey how good Morton will magically become if we just name him in the side 50 times

[CatFishPig 438]

Where will we pluck the next Dom Tyson? Hopefully the next Dom Tyson is Jimmy Toumpas!!!!!!

I just watched some highlights from the U18 champs..

Billy looks to improved heaps since I seen him play last..

Petracca looks the goods, happy to take him if available..

How was Brayshaw ?

I'm not so sure Old on that in Montagna, Newnes Dunstan, Steven, Savage, Billings, Acres, Curren, Armytage & Ross to play through the middle and rotate forward.

I think they need a key position tall both forward and back far greater than we do. Although that is not to say we do not need another KPT but I think our need for mids is greater

On Brayshaw, he was good not outstanding but ability to find the ball, use both sides of his body and decent tank. He will be a good solid AFL player no doubt but no obvious star quality. Having said that hopefully interview and other follow ups will estbalish his desire to succeed.

It seems to me PSD that very often the guys who don't end up in the top few picks end up the better senior players.

We have had lots of examples.

You sound like a broken record player.

I will go and sound like one to in my respomse and say we now have a completely different recruiting and developing team then we had in that era.

Richmond failed at Tambling...if they toom your advice they wouldnt now have Martin Cotchin Ellis ect in theyre midfield.

That's rich coming from the bloke that cannot get over Josh Kelly and What We Did Last Summer...
