The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

The year before GWS selected Will Hoskin-Elliott at Pick 4 and ended up trading him away for not much more then we got in our Toumpas trade. There's no certainty in drafting.

Plus what we got in the Toumpas/Howe trade went towards our trade for the Oliver pick. So thank god we drafted Toumpas!?

    he gives away frees all the time. a couple of times last night he was penalised for holding. also how angry does he get when things don't go his way? Id hate to see how he was as a kid when his parents said no to him.  

    When you have god on your side, it is natural to assume that an umpire who awards a free against you is a pawn of Satan.

    As for his dive last night, I think it was there, just not as blatant as last week.  Though why dives are considered fine-worthy but head ducking (which is dangerous) is not, is beyond my comprehension.

    Softens? Oliver is far superior to Wines.

    I wasn't suggesting otherwise

    On Rance I don't think he took another dive but gee Im telling you put him 1 on 1 and he gives away frees all the time. a couple of times last night he was penalised for holding. also how angry does he get when things don't go his way? Id hate to see how he was as a kid when his parents said no to him. 

    Anyway melbourne please win because 2nd spot would look good. 

    They might have never said no to him...strikes me as that type of kid.

    I was so surprised when I found out he had a wife and kids...

    Big game...  both teams 7-4 and the loser will be on the edge of the 8.

    Really its just a case of who you hate worst as to who you want to lose.... at least one of them will be in the 8 at seasons end, and its hard to see Geelong not making it.  So I wouldn't mind seeing North lose today and begin their slide down the ladder.

     I hate them both equally.

    But that’s the point, I don’t think he was the right pick at the time . I recall he was injured when we drafted him and he never showed anything over here.  He was rather short and dumpy and was supposed to be an outside mid but was slow. His skills were poor also. I think whether or not we got Ollie he was a poor pick. 

    The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

    In hindsight not the right pick, but I think consensus within industry was that he was the "right" pick. Same with Cale Morton.

    Contrast these to Luke Molan (yes very unlucky once drafted but was never expected to be a top 10 player: read here for some of his bad luck http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-25-0-0-0&sID=56257&articleID=7430876&news_task=DETAIL) or Nick Smith (the original 426, won played his 4th and last game in our last final, but who more relevantly was picked higher than expected ahead of some more credentialed forwards). 

    Yep we got it wrong and could have been braver (like we were with Oliver), but mistakes like Toumpas and Watts are difficult to avoid based on exposed juniors form.

    Just got told by someone close with GWS That Tom lynch toured facilities there this morning, that’s interesting they would need to drop a player to get lynch maybe Patton might end up on the table

    Not long to wait. Swans went from South Melbourne to Extremely North Melbourne.

    Kangas will soon be Extremely South Melbourne

    Scrappy first quarter at the spiritual home of footy, Spotless Stadium. 

    Both teams look overwhelmed by the big stage and the rich history of their clashes. 

    Game should pick up if they’re anything like the epic clashes of yesteryear.

    Dunno about that. He's not that good at one on one. Reckon they would have given him a spanking.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
