Might be a bit of truth in all this beyond Port thinking Grundy would make a nice cheap addition, in that I think Hinkley would clearly see us as a key obstacle on the road tothe flag & he has seen an opportunity to try to cause some instability within our ruck dept. Doesn’t mind a few mins games old Kenny & Grundy has a big part to play for us in finals, make no mistake.

No, the Owens kid tearing it up would be handy. Knevitt may well prove to be.

I’m just happy that the focus is still on unlocking ways to beat other teams rather than us.

Bump.

Another $100 just to put your favourite player’s number on the tile? Sign me up! I want to secure my place in history.

Wil Powell demonstrating perfectly that there are still acceptable reasons to boo players at the footy...

The only question now is... who do we take with Freo’s first pick? Watson? Duursma? Caddy? Didn’t expect to be in this position, but I think we could actually trade back in the draft slightly, take advantage of other clubs eagerness to get up the order & bank more for the future.

Riv?

It means the Brownlow should be disregarded, or at least not be seen as the most prestigious individual accolade in the game. I’d put more weight in a media award, but I think the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year is the benchmark. Of which Gawn has won 1, and Oliver has now won 2.

I’d think Bill’s physique should develop to be similar to that of GAJ, who I think was always more athletic than he appeared. Low centre of gravity & all.

Oops! I’ll see myself out...

Did he? I recall him doing burnouts in the carpark at a private school we trained at. Not sure about drink driving.

Not sure they’ll be able to kick enough goals if their forward line is Jackson & Fyfe. Their talk of us mis-using Jackson & not appreciating his ability as a forward would appear to be more wishful thinking than anything.

Ongoing gross negligence and incompetence.

obviously we valued keeping a stronger draft hand next year over what was available... or other clubs were taking the p*ss with what they were asking to trade up.

So much fluff, when is this going to start?

What he said. Kind of.

Interestingly heard Tsatas interviewed on SEN this arvo and when asked (paraphrasing) who would end up being the best of the draft class, he nominated Weddle as an impressive athlete and then Jefferson once he gets his body right. Or something.

Ducks & drakes. Only exceptional rucks get taken outside the rookie draft.

Not now you wouldn’t think.

Epic sh*thousery by Sydney.

Surely we took so long to put the pick in so we had time to work the phones...

Well, I’m surprised but in Jason Taylor we trust. I’m excited that what I was concerned I hadn’t seen from him, I now expect to see.
