Maybe it is, but it bloody well worked out for us!

I can't say that I was certain he'd become the player or influencor that he has, but the day he was selected as a father-son, slipping through to the 2nd round, I was listening to the Pre-draft Father-Son bidding on the radio while driving between sites. I actually had to pull over because I was fist pumping that hard that I almost went off the road and I had a few stray tears in my eyes. I didn't know, but I just had a inexplicably strong feeling that he really would make a difference and it was the start of us getting back on the right path. Say what you want about Schwab, but I'm glad he circumvented the coaching staff and brought in Todd Viney when he did.

Add in Salem...

Ben Hart. Do it.

Agree on Bugg, got a feeling Kennedy can keep improving and surprise people.

Could have been out at boobs or steps

Come on mate, he missed that last one!

I think you underrate him.

Just the opposite, Ox created a situation where Jesse was under siege, and gave the club and teammates an opportunity to get around him, protect him and build some stronger relationships.

I think this thread needs more people claiming to have pegged Oliver as a superstar upon first reading his name on Big Footy. Congratulations all of you people, it'll be a travesty of justice if you haven't all been handed gigs as AFL recruiters by the end of the week.

On Oliver... I just can't shake the feeling that he's a lot like, of all people... Fyfe. Maybe not as aerially dominant though.

About 1 min in actually

I thought the same - Trengove is the only one that came close in my mind. But even he had a different sort of impact. It was clear he was comfortably an AFL player, but I'm not sure he had the positive influence on our overall performance that Oliver has had.

Not quite - actually 1min 14secs into the final quarter.

About 4 mins in, final quarter.

"Look out! Here comes Clarry! Choo Choo!"

Who exactly has Matt Jones impressed..?

Kennedy was not pick 10.

I did consider that after the post.

Have to be someone who's forgotten about Petracca too...

I'm also in the MCC, but I expect to hear a few renditions of "well done Bater!" and "wow, Blease has bulked up a bit!"

It wasn't mythical; it's simply logical. If GWS were to bid on Viney & we were forced to take him, we wouldn't have had the draft free to on-trade to them later in the pre-arranged deal to get Hogan. Why would they proactively attempt to scupper the trade they wanted?

I'd be inclined to ignore the words and judge him by his actions on the training track. I think this method stands up when you look at the Cook case.

Not sure that would make much of a difference for Hogan, considering the coin he'll be on...

He's past it, and we've already recruited Bugg to fill his role. We'd also then be short a runner, and a development/rehab coach. Do we really need to replace Melksham on the list? Upgrading White or Wagner will do just fine.
