A draft with arguably the games best mid, small forward and key defender at the moment probably is a decent one.

Could this comment have gone any more wrong....

I was at the game he played Geelong vfl against box hill, was just about Geelong's best in a poor performance. Surprised he has slipped out of so many top 10s.

Late call up in his first final at the age of 20 who was a chf being forced to play on sandilands. Hardly a good example, late 2nd or a 3rd and a swap of late picks would be fair. 2nd only to Blicavs in all Geelong's time trials, great mark, competitor, probably not a natural footballer or a great kick, but will offer more than Dawes.

I think they shot themselves in the foot, you cant not play a bloke in finals, essentially declaring he's not in your best 22. Then jump up and down when you get a lower form of compensation. Some suggest he wasn't played in finals because they knew he was leaving, even if this is the case its still their own fault. I also believe the contract offered to Selwood was of a high enough dollar figure for the eagles to think it would trigger band 2 compo (end of round 1), and probably would have been if we hadnt have gotten away with daylight robbery for frawley last season. Game has changed.

Aside from injury, high chance curnow could have been talked about as a top 3 pick anyway. Also can play mulitple roles, parish is a pure mid. Versatility is important. As for a 1st year forward coming in and having an impact with hogan, seems unlikely.

Alot of the Howe + 6 for 3 + ?? has alot to do with what the recruiters feel is the talent gap between picks 3 & 6... could be losing how for nothing essentially, unless the steak knives are particularly sharp.

Factor in how much costa will be paying extended family members. will go to geelong, adelaide wont match. bookmark it.

Going to attempt a silver lining here: At least he will be at a reduced price for supercoach 2016.

hot tip for all SC players. Strongly consider crouch if you dont have him, only query on the kid was that he might get the vest... if hes named in the starting 22 this thursday.. you will have time to swap from a player like aish or ellis and save yourself some sweet sweet cash.

Are the updates here and twitter the only options for info for those of us who cant make it to the game? Shame the club didn't offer a live stream like some others did. I caught it bit of the geelong north melbourne game. Casey not equipped to broadcast?
