Now don't get selfish DC, I think we all resemble that statement - childish, invertebrate, weirdos, perverts....

Haaaang on a minute.......doesn't Moonie frequent those parts when he's off the gimp chains?

Pot. Kettle. Effin Charcoal !

I hope that is true. Tomlinson is going to be a very good player.

Then why do you want him to go to Carlton?

Looks like Carlton are going to haul in 4 or 5 GWS boys with just two picks

I have no idea if any of them are any good or not

I believe the bookies have the Northern Blues sitting as firm favourite for the VFL premiership at this early stage.

Dees cocked up with Toump - but 2012 is a horror draft for GWS.

- pick 1 Whitfield - looks good but no Wines, Macrae or Stringer.

- pick 2 O'Rourke - bust

- pick 3 Plowman - bust - now bundled up with 4 other (Summner former pick 10) to Blues for Pick in late 20's!

- pick 12 Jaksch - bust

And now SOS is trusted to rebuild Carlton's list!

Its great that they fluffed so many high picks considering how many they were given.

Not to mention a certain other #1 pick who signed a 6 year 6 millon dollar deal and has done sweet F.A for them

Yep and his fat dad - earning his $100k p.a scouting o'rourke, plowman and jaksch.

If only we'd had time last year to offload Howe for pick 7 and $650k p.a into their cap.

Not really, SOS is just bringing the rejects he recruited down to the Blues to further continue their ineptness.

Memories of Craig Cameron drafting Maric, twice.

I think GWS want to get their deal done with Carlton. Could still be done late today if the blues deal gets done early

That deal is apparently agreed at a second round pick. Why would it have anything to do with Bugg to us?

On another note Plowman is a bigger bust than Toumpas, as he went 3 in the same draft and is now being bundled up with 3 other players for a single 2nd rounder.

It does make the Roos philosophy of trading picks for established players fully understandable, due to the uncertainty of the draft.

People have gushed over high draft picks, yet so many and especially in our case, have proved to be abject disasters.

We have decimated our list by poor draft selections and at least Roos will have turned over 75% of our list by this next ND. ATM our list is looking far better than it was 2 years ago.

You don't go anywhere without them though 'Red'.

I'm happy to have Salem, Brayshaw, Petracca and Hogan on board.

Established players such as Michie, Riley, Newton and Ben Kennedy? He's just pulling names out of a hat as far as I can tell.

If he keeps trying, perhaps eventually he'll find another Josh Kennedy, but I don't like his chances.

You don't go anywhere without good players. That doesn't necessarily mean early draft picks.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
