Yeah, that wasn't good

We saw one superstar tonight, the pretend one in the Geelong Jumper went missing when his team needed someone to stand up.

Selwood “bleeds” for the team, ’Dangerflopper” only when he lands one on an opposing player.

Dangerfield is a champion. By far better than hird and buckley. He deserves a flag, no matter how much of a wa nker he is 

No one ‘deserves’ a flag. Teams win flags

Love watching Martin

Who was the recruiter who picked Scully and Trengove ahead of Martin?

Dusty wins the game, Danger went missing and just kept going to ground

Most overrated player of the last 20 years.   So glad this tosspot will go down as a grand final choker.

Watching old squinty eyes lose is just the highlight of this season.

They old.

Dangerfield to retire without a flag. I couldnt be happier.

I know I’ve said this countless times, but this is just pure hindsight. Anyone would’ve had Scully and Trengove in the top three of that draft at the time, they were the standouts. If we’d drafted Martin instead then I dare say we would’ve effectively ruined his career too, with our poor player development.

Wow Dangerfield almost 31.. thought he was 28 or 29.

Die Geelong die

Dangerfield retiring a loser couldn’t happen to a smarmier guy.

Martin was always a better player than those 2

Trengove played some good games in 2010-11 but never match winning like Martin. We all got sucked in by a terrible strategy

No. Richmond had Martin at 1 on their list, was in the herald sun today

No one will ever be able to ruin a player with that kind of talent. Scully is one of the softest players I've ever seen take the field and trengove one of the slowest, neither had any great skills. Embarrassing drafting and an absolute disgrace that should never happen again

You’re missing the point. I’m talking about draft time in 2009, not “2010-11”. All clubs rated Scully and Trengove in the top 2-3 in the draft back then. That’s a fact.

Trengove’s career was ruined by injury and Melbourne’s inability to develop players properly (e.g. poor culture, making him captain way too early etc). If we took Martin, he’d either [censored] off to another club after two years or he would be jack watts 2.0, while Trengove goes on to have a potentially much better career at another club.

It doesn’t matter mate. Any club would have drafted/rated those two players in the top 3 along with Martin. You’ve made those judgements (about Scully being soft and Trengove being slow) after observing them playing at AFL level, which is after they were drafted. I’m saying they were the elite standouts (along with Martin) in their draft year. Go look at the draft prospects from 2009 and you’ll see how highly rated Scully and Trengove were. You’re being a hindsight hero.
