Remember how Neale Daniher copied the style of the previous year's premier 2-3 times and it never worked? Yes we didn't have the cattle but it's a good metaphor for how quickly things change in this crazy sport. Hawthorn recruited well and got lucky with Franklin coming good, Rioli making an immediate impact and Dew somehow reinventing himself. Geelong got lucky with all its father son selections. Maybe we get lucky with Garland and Watts and win the flag? Football is mostly luck, just like we had atrocious luck with injuries in the mid 90s and didn't win the flag. Look at Hawthorn and Geelong injury lists this year. The business stuff will follow the on-field success and that comes down to luck with recruiting.

I think you guys are missing the point of drafting. It's not how high your pick is, it's the player you get. Now we have a really good young player, and you want to trade him for a pick? Some of you need to be put out to pasture. The poster on BigFooty was using Garland as an example to prove a point.

Go outside. Take a deep breath. Hawthorn's dynasty will be about as long as Geelong's. Calm the **** down.

that didn't think they deserved it? Cooney's a very good player, he's 1 of about 4 from that pitiful draft.

Cats, because I F**KING HATE HAWTHORN [censored] by 100

2003 Draft. 'Nuff said.

Probably my favourite dud of all time. Oh wait, that was Nicho. Went backwards this year. Poor peripheral, disposal, line breaking. Not a required player.

Don't be mean, Shane Warne's life is a very important political issue.

Rural Press run the Age now, not Fairfax. ~Eric Beecher

You're a Melbourne supporter FFS, read the goddamn Age.

His value is at his lowest . . . . why would you trade him now? Think you guys are going a bit overboard with the whole draft pick flu that is going around. I mean look at Scott Gumbleton, before the draft he was all that, and he can't get on the park. A 2nd round draft pick (which we wouldn't get anyway) would probably be a lesser player then Rivers. Moloney and Rivers, our 'when they're fit' brigade. Aptly abbreviated to WTF.

Hmmm, 6 out of 7 don't suck, I can't remember such good blooding. (Even though we won three games). Cale Morton followed by the Genius Stefan Martin.

B) Very good.

There's no point getting particularly excited or depressed before the fact. Otherwise we'll all get depressed like last year. Last year, even Judd's auntie was under the impression he was going to Collingwood. No-one here knows anything, just sit back and let the cards fall.

Spot on.

If we miss out on Warnock I will headbutt my desk until I pass out. Who are we going to miss out on next year?!? I can't take this [censored].

Sylvia had the strength amongst boys, hasn't worked hard enough to become a consistently good AFL player. According to various [censored] hyperbole floating around the Internet, Watts and Rich are men amongst boys and there are question marks over their desire, particularly Rich. Naitanui has question marks over everything. Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda We'll select Watts anyway so we can say anything we like and it won't matter.

Rich: could become the next Syliva, because he might not have the strength or desire to cut it against AFL players. Watts: could become the next Syliva, because he might not have the strength to cut it against AFL players. Naitanui: could become the next Syliva, because he might not have the skills to cut it against AFL players. Every pick is a risk, big deal. Hartlett is good but isn't exceptionally quick either and Rich is a much more prodigious kick of the football IMO.

The new video of Peel vs Swans has Naitanui jumping over an opponent to take a mark. It's scary. http://www.lmsc.com.au/media/docs/Swans_v_Peel_R23.wmv Right click save as, it's at the end. I'm glad I'm not in BP position.

Touche'

The GC17 team will have a predominantly red home jumper, so we can't have a red clash jumper. That's the conclusion I arrived at independently, don't know if it's true or not but it's Vlad's bastard child versus the club he doesn't give a s**t about.

It doesn't matter what game plan you have when your forward line is Franklin, Rioli, Williams, Roughead and your midfield is excellent.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfGgjHX5zyk As if Woey's was better.

Was Woey's a similar type of goal or is my memory failing me?

I always thought Jeff's goal was better than Woey's! I was thinking about that the other day, couldn't remember what year it happened.
