This morning. Where’s the source/article from 2009 that says Martin will be the better player? I’ll help you out; you won’t find it. Again, congrats to Dusty and Richmond, but they would not have taken him with pick one.

That was written this morning. Hindsight.

Find a quote from 2009. Everything you post is hindsight. There’s some wriggle room with Trengove, but Scully was a lock on par with Walsh and Rowell in his draft year. Good on Richmond and good on Martin for the way things have turned out, but if they had pick 1, they 100% would have taken Scully.

Yes. You made a negative post. You only make negative posts. Then you can always claim to be right when things don’t work out. You had no idea who Pickett even was, but now you’ll stamp your feet that we didn’t take him, as though he was the obvious choice at the time.

Completely wrong. Richmond had Scully as the best in the draft and were spewing that we had him. Its worth noting that no one had Martin over Scully in 2009. No one.

I’ve had a quick look but I can’t find Captain Hindsight’s post about Pickett 18 months ago... perhaps you can help me out with a link.

Sounding to me like a salary dump; could come cheap in trade, big in cap.

Never should have gone back to WA. I’m going glass half full and he can take Harley’s spot on the high-risk-high-reward list. This could be our Trent Croad moment.

Surely would have also gone through his former coach who originally drafted him.

Whenever I'm watching Geelong, he seems to be playing alright. Doesn't seem to be a ball-magnety and clearly I've missed the matches where he's stunk it up. We need someone to be a big bodied replacement for Preuss. Whilst he wasn't getting regular games, he was able to provide a contest in Gawn's absence. I'd hate to see Jackson having to ruck entire matches at his age/weight. At the moment, Tom McDonald would need to cover Gawn in case of injury, and if he leaves as well, then the need grows greater.

I’d speculate it may have been Neil Craig recommending that one.

I personally think the coaches’ award is the one to watch for real insight. With that said, there’s not many times the Brownlow has gone to an undeserving recipient.

Maybe. But it’s a completely different voting system. If anything, it suggests that when the team plays poorly, Viney still plays well.

It’s a very strange kind of grief. In some ways you’re not sure if your entitled to grieve or if there are degrees to which your loss stacks up against that of others. It’s strange that, to even someone who has gone through it twice in the last twelve months, that making your loss known to others is still somewhat taboo. People are now staring to talk about it, and that’s a good thing.

One of my all-time favourite Dees. Whilst speed was never his strength, what little he had, seems to have gone. If Collingwood are offering more years, I certainly wouldn't begrudge him leaving. A great servant to the club who has played many years on little money; he needs to look after himself and his family for the final years of his career.

And good on the bowls club for standing their ground under what would have been immense pressure.

It's a huge stretch by Wilson. Google maps puts it 15 minutes drive down the road, yet she's described it as 'isolated'. There was zero room for expansion at Windy Hill and can't be compared to the Saints move to a truly isolated location at Seaford.

Just not feeling it... I hope that, if it does pan-out, that he costs us very little and that he earns his spot in the team. Vince and Lewis were playing games well past their used by date and I hope the presence of Smith breeds competition for spots and not complacency.

Just so impressed by his performances this year; he was tenacious, hard-at-it, fast and skillful. He looked like he believed he belonged out there from his very first match. Don't think anyone would have batted an eyelid if this was the first handful of games from a first round.

No interest in a pick for a mature age ruckman who will be first 22 for GWS. Would be very interested if we could get Brisbane involved for a player like Witherden.

Source that Oliver was looking to join Carlton... page 21 of the 'Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified' thread.

Is there any source for this information though or is it still all from McClure on footy classified uttering 6 words two weeks ago..?

Exactly! How is this thread still going!? It was a throw-away comment in a gossip segment on a sensationalist football chat show. No media outlet has run with, it's a complete non-story. It sits at the top of the board every day and you click on it thinking that something has actually been said/happened... but, no; there's nothing new.

The full match is on YouTube. So many great players in that line-up.
