  1. recruiters can be wrong for sure. all recruiters were convinced Toumpas and Butcher were top 3 guns and neither hardly played a good game. Regardless of what the media think the recruiters might do, the fact remains that recruiting rucks in the top 10 let alone top 3 is risky and is generally not done. they are more prone to injury. he is yet to develop his football skill set, he is a fair chance to go back to WA in 4-6 years. obviously our recruitment team know more than us but we are discussing it on a forum so opinions fly around even if ill informed
  2. is this confirmed? I had thought more likely GWS want Green and traded high enough to get him. they have intel that we are going for Jackson so no need to trade higher up the order.
  3. Interesting take binman but I think the difference is buddy and roughy were true footballers and had showed they can play fwd, and kick goals. Imo Grundy is the better comparison. Best case we end up with a Grundy but is that our need for the next 4-5 years? Obviously he could surprise and turn into a gun fwd but it’s a low percentage imo. Chances of him being a roughy or buddy are very slim imo
  4. Drafting a tall ruck without a strong footy background at 3 is too risky imo. Could work but I don’t think we should take undue risk at pick 3. Green looks an excellent prospect and the risk is much lower. I remember the write ups for Tyrone Vickery back in the day, - he could go top 3, he is the modern prototype, quick and can play fwd. dominated as a junior i know Jackson is more athletic but still the risk is there. Add in that the WA boys head home a lot and it’s even riskier
  5. Maybe trying to bluff?? Green sounds like a gun
  6. If correct, why TF would we make it known we will not take green??
  7. Snap up Green and run! You beauty!
  8. so 72 hours until the pick trading deadline. you'd expect we should do something by then? does anyone know when the live trading begins on draft day? or is it just at the first pick?
  9. jebus, even when he is smiling he looks like he is about to take your head off. scary mofo thanks for the pics Saty
  10. did someone say iiiinnnntterupted preseason??? NNOOOOOOOOOOOO! hang on he's back next week! she'll be right
  11. Good luck to anyone trying to tackle Tracca next year. The man is a beast!! massive 2020 coming up!!
  12. I’d be interested in how tall and heavy Sparrow and Jordon are now. Jordon was 6’1 when drafted so he could have easily added a few cms and kgs making it harder to look ripped as he still developing.
  13. I reckon you’d want someone who can kick with pick 3
  14. So if one of us played at afl level it is ok to make derogatory comments about players? I would consider that just as bad
  15. 50 goals and mark if the year in 2020 put yer house on it. A gun
  16. Most clubs made a mistake passing on Grundy and letting him slip to 18. But this bloke is no Grundy. 100% do not take a chance on a tall ruck fwd unless they are a athletic freak and gun
  17. Can only assume we have a spare spot on the list and Casey need a forward
  18. So if green is rated as good as the top two why don’t GC consider him?
  19. He might come good in a few years but he shouldn’t be playing if Max is fit
  20. Our sponsors have more faith in the MFC that some supporters do it seems
  21. KDunk lookin ripped but still doesn’t excuse socks and sandals!
  22. We haven’t had a fitness bloke with this sort of hype since Misson.
  23. I really could have done without watching that video. I feel dumber. Which is concerning if you know me
  24. Can’t believe the afl hasn’t matured from the go home factor. Professional footballers wanting to go home. Getting paid half a mill a year and you miss your mates and mum? Grow up!
