9 minutes ago, Ted Lasso said: I was probably generalising, but we had a whole list of top end talent come through the doors that for a variety of reasons failed to become long term A grade players, i'll accept it was probably harsh to include Bartram specifically, but when you've got Trengove, Watts, Strauss, Toumpas, Morton, Blease, Cook and so on all taken as high end picks and basically none become A grade players, and really only Watts even became a consistent B grade player, that's more than just bad luck recruiting.
Harsh to include Trengove, his career was literally killed off through injury. By the time he got back into the AFL the game had gotten quicker as he gotten slower which was impacted through his chronic injuries.

1 hour ago, Gator said: Admittedly, I've only seen one video of him, but if we kept this pick I liked the look of midfielder Fred Rodriguez.
I wonder what @Pennant St Dee thinks of him.
I really like him too G.
One of those ones that I can see being a big steal in the draft similar to a Like Parker or Chad Warner with those later picks.
I'd easily have him high on our list, especially if we go a small forward and a outside midfielder option with our first two picks.

39 minutes ago, Demon Disciple said: Yep, and just about everyone went missing for a quarter and a half except for Gus.
So as far as Trac is concerned, he did not play a full 4 quarters that day (he would’ve ended up with 50+ disposals and most possessions ever in a GF if he did).
39 and a goal in a grand final is not a 4 quarter effort?
What the..

4 hours ago, Turner said: i think whilst similar enough dove and pickett are very different players, afl teams even our shoddy team of the neeld/bailey era have space for electric forwards. latrelle has a wicked side step and the type of goal sense u cannot teach likewise his balance. he can take a game away from u in 5 minutes with 4 goals and you wouldn't even be surprised, whether the timing for him is right with where our list is at now, think liam ryan and willie rioli as cherry on top mature age selections who got 6ish years out of themselves, or could he be a tippa, stengle, cyril and has that prime at 25-26 but then loses it a bit sooner too
weightman went at 6 too, it is quite a similar connundrum to the dove v pickett debate on our hands this year in some ways, although weightman is more a leadup then a genuine small.
Weightman went pick 15 in the draft.

Welcome to Demonland: Picks 7 & 8
in Trade & Draft
Nairn would actually be a great pick, just not at that range.
