  1. Could very well do, against the saints. Actually, now that I think of it, Lenny Hayes is probably a good comparison for ANB too. Suffice to say, I like the boy.
  2. A bit, I should have said a bit! Probably most excited about this kid of our draftees, because these are the picks we need to make count too, and I really think he will. I just hope his mate Billy manages to stay in the side to run out beside him.
  3. Confirmed MFC website. Good luck to the kid. Might sound silly but I see a lot of Dane Swan in him.
  4. Oh come on, you're not that daft. There may have once been some sort of pact, and they may have signed on for the most part, but that's because they can tell they're odds on to win a flag there with their mates if they stay. It's not because a handful of them made a pact as teenagers.
  5. And that's because this "pact" stuff is carp. If it were true like you tell it, they'd all have singed in January.
  6. Treloar and Shiel were never realistic targets in my opinion. Prestia & Coniglio would be mine, albeit still unrealistic.
  7. Me too. I think there'll be serious quality later in the first round like when we selected Salem. Not sure who we'd get to be involved in such a deal though.
  8. I really don't think he stood out that much at all. Mathieson kept getting it and making things happen. Parish was silk, and should have been rusty. Shame I've heard of minor attitudinal problems with both. I'm relatively happy with tall defenders, but I think both Weitering & Collins will be 200 game AA defenders whoever they get drafted by. Schache would be a dream result.
  9. If you pretend they are father-son picks you get over it pretty quickly.
  10. WHEN, not IF, with this kid. Can't wait to see him get into our 22.
  11. Agree with most, except your comment that there's not a lot in it. 10-15% is a fair chunk in my book! Whitfield easily over the "future Brownlow medallist."
  12. M Jones, Bail, Watts, Howe, Dunn, Grimes.
  13. He cost Freo a spot on their list & enough cash to pay a decent player for 3 years.
  14. Very interested in Clark, especially in the 2nd round. At 193cm he's a big big mid, and running a 15+ beep. Good hands in the clinches. Nothing spectacular about him, but well equipped to grow into a solid Barlow type midfielder, which is nothing to sneeze at.
  15. Matt Jones isn't the problem. Him being in a position to play AFL games for MFC is the problem.
  16. We have heard the rumour of being interested in him in the past. Goodwin & McCartney provide strong links.
  17. I think a Judd-like trade for an established star could be a mistake. I'd much rather a tested budding talent that essentially saves us a couple of years development, and has exposed form but is not yet the finished article. Much like the Dom Tyson deal. I'd throw the kitchen sink at Whitfield. I'd be trying to tempt Prestia or Coniglio. Put in a call to James Aish. 2-4 years in should be the aim.
  18. I think Goodes hears boos mostly because he seems like a shite bloke. I think any sort of racism is abhorrent, but I truly do think Goodes looked like King Kong on the poster, in a way that I don't think all indigenous people do. Just like I don't think all white people look like John Candy. But some do. Eddie is a twit for saying it though.
  19. Ignorance aside, they mean the same thing.
  20. Carey very kindly neglected to mention that Boyd was wearing the red vest at the time, with only 1 disposal next to his name. Will be ok, Boyd, but I stand by what I posted pre-draft, that he was massive and beating up on kids who couldn't compete with his reach, without doing anything particularly impressive. He has some good attributes, but he doesn't have "it." Jesse has "it."
  21. What?? You know that "indigenous' means the same thing, right..?
  22. In a hearbeat. Won't happen though. I know every other club will be thinking it, but I'd target GWS. They would like the appeal of a player like Howe, whose spectacular hangers will grab attention even in NSW media. Coupled with our first pick, we could get some serious value. I'd ask for Coniglio and Plowman. A dream result, but I think a realistic thing to ask for too. GWS won't dream of offering up Shiel, at reload or Devon Smith. I expect them to offer Palmer to anyone who'll listen though.
  23. You may know something, but either you or someone else is adding a fair bit of mayo to your synopsis. Your figure of "95-99%" is pure fantasy. Even if you believe it to be true, just think about it for a second. How many players would make a decision on their future in Feb with a new coach coming in & an entire season to play out? The $ will always be there for Danger. Now one individual may have made that claim or come to your conclusion independently, whether it be a club official or an agent, etc. based on their own perception (or overactive imagination) but it is fantasy. The organisation itself and the key players involved did not have such belief. And that's from multiple people deep inside the club.
