Absolutely. If it meant a 100% pure, unadulterated Draft, yes. Who the bloody hell have we got from Father Son apart from Jack Viney who is just a good ordinary player. Father Sons have won Geelong numerous Premierships.

I have been incredibly annoyed by the inequitable fixture for years but this anger has been overtaken by the unfair advantages given to certain clubs with these bloody Academies. Another player this year who is tipped to be in the Top few is a GWS Academy player. It is so far from a level playing field that my interest is now almost zero.

How many times will “learnings” get a run?

I don’t enjoy it or dislike it. It means absolutely nothing, it has no importance in the big picture of what is happening with my footy Club.

Mate, there are several Posts slagging off how Tonight’s commentators are waxing lyrical over the Tigers. Just not important.

It’s the same flogs every week that blame umpires & commentators. FCS forget about them and direct all your anger at our Football Dept, Recruiting & List Management. You get the results you deserve!!!!

You need to look closer at the game. Tom MAC was poor. Hore, Frost & Salem were very good.

Greatly undervalued Stretch & Hore and greatly overrated Tom MacDonald.

FCS ignore umpires, ignore commentators. We have so many issues with our list and personnel. Our list is putrid, it is not a list capable of outside run and retaining the ball by foot. Recruiting has been putrid. So many VFL standard players.

Worpel would have been a much better selection than either Spargo or Petty.

I probably shouldn’t reveal that but signs aren’t good for Josh Wagner, Corey Maynard & Billy Stretch.

Guys, I can let you know that Tom Sparrow will debut tomorrow as Jorda Lewis won’t play. Good luck Tom

Josh Kelly will only consider signing a long term deal at one of three Clubs. His management has been told to only engage with GWS, Kangaroos & Carlton. Whilst my info was pre Christmas, it came from another player looked after by his management team and I believe it’s on the money.

He’ll get plenty of chances before they drop him.

Yeah, they’re just the most successful club of the modern era and have won about 10 Flags since us. That said, you are missing the only point which was just what a Smokey this selection was.

Makes me wonder why we re contracted Josh Wagner if we’ve been tracking this guy closely for 3 years. Blind Freddie can see this blokes a better player than Josh Wagner.

True that Clarry was a bolter, however, within 2 weeks of Draft night everyone knew he was first round and improving. Everyone is still trying to find out who James is 24 hours after the Draft. Encouraging thing for me is the bottom age aspect. Let’s hope!

This is an interesting selection. I can tell you that Hawthorn classified him as Not Draft Quality. This is the label they attach to all players they believe are not worthy of Draft consideration. I also looked at a lot of Phantom Drafters and I don’t recall seeing anyone nominate him in a Top 50. Let’s hope Jason Taylor proves them all wrong.

No negotiation in any of those you mentioned. Hibberd & Melksham were so obviously a 2nd round picks at where we were. Never 1st or 3rd rounders. Lewis & Garlett we’re pushed out by their Clubs and nobody else wanted them, once again, no negotiation skill required. Vince, read Hibberd & Melksham. Plenty would argue we paid a little too much for Frost, put it this way, he wasn’t a steal. We are one of those Clubs that seem to be very easy for other Clubs to deal with and for just once I want to do an Essendon type deal where we clearly can say we got Overs.

Please tell me one single trade deal we won at the negotiation stage since we got what appeared to be overs for Darren Jolly. Got done over in both the Tyson & Lever deals so I await evidence of winning negotiations.

Alistair Clarkson obviously agrees with you, or else he’d still be a Hawk. Clarko thought Jordan had 1, possibly 1.5 left in the tank but told him to go and get himself a 3 year contract at a Club that was prepared to bring him in. Next year, unless we have a shocking run of injuries, it probably should be either Jones or Lewis in the 22.

In fairness, I don’t believe any of Frost’s supporters ever said he’d be a “gun”, we just couldn’t understand why so many continually bagged him and stated he wasn’t even AFL standard. Unbelievably early call for someone with so many attributes.

I assume however that you don’t put yourself in that 70% Pro Dee. I know nothing about Facebook surveys but out of interest, were you one of the clueless fools that continuously bagged Frost?

Well Jonathon Brown showed that footage amongst several others on On The Couch as another example of Jesse Hogan being terribly out of position.

The title of this thread is quite possibly the most inaccurate & inappropriate in all my time at Demonland. It has gone on for far too long and is quite frankly demeaning to the Demonland brand. Please close it down.
