I was a little bit emotional reading that.

can u bet on the rising star award, id be putting money on pettle for sure

YOu can.....I believe sportsbet have a book going.

Was Jake King from Richmond drafted last year? If so id say he should be higher on the list then Krakour and Lindsay Thomas. Not so much for potential but King has played good consistent footy since his debut.

He is a she mate

If you weren't id say your avatar would make you seem a little fruity.

But I think perhaps you should watch the replay. Some of Brock's second and third efforts were amazing.

My crystal ball says

54,677

Smash it.

This is the one game a year that a heard of Melbourne barrackers (not supporters) go to.

67,473

Only one of them will take him if they are prepared to bid high enough.

Cotchin is the kid i hope we'll take. Fast, classy and can get the ball himself, he would compliment McLean and Jones very, very well.

Are you involved in recruitment Jarka?

Paul Johnson better get a wriggle on if he's to make it to 200 games. B)

Its a pipe dream, both Nick's are going nowhere.

Gibbs is a dud and will go down as the worst number 1 pick ever

he has shown nothing

You are losing any credibility you may still have.

Petterd will be the steal of the draft

CAC is a genius, he does it every time

petterd, bartram, rivers, DAVEY! All absolute steals

We would be stuffed without CAC, who in my opinion is the most important man at the club

What about Bohdan?

they are ..but ... atleast we arent missing 3-4 other good players at the same time

id like to see davey miller yze and whealan all play this week

Bate played Miller's position very well last week. Perhaps not rushing Miller back in the team is a good idea.

I watched the replay this morning expecting to bag Ward for all his turnovers, however there weren't actually that many. It felt like more while at the game.

Creates great drive and pace out of defence but accountability is the problem.

Undecided whether he's best 22.

You should watch the last quarter again more closely. He did not hit one target by hand or by foot when he had pressure applied to him. He also did not contest with Welsh in a marking contest which resulted in a goal.

Its all great to say he didnt cough up his uncontested possesions but he is absolute liability IMO.

I think Sheahan and Walls played a major part in the win today,which is kinda sad.

They both dominated today. Top of the votes.

I love Phil Read.

What a champ!

You love him as long as he's not wearing red and blue.

there is a website you will be able to download it from as a torrent.

Daniel Bell was not good today

He was phenomenal

I blame Bohdan for that.

vs geelong last year round 21

Godfrey-Was Rarely Seen

So was Scott Thompson noob.

A great first half. He'd be my number one choice for the kick out also.

Just thinking about having Sylvia back in the forward line. He is definately better on a HFF than in the midfield I reckon.

I still think he should be tried as a midfielder and i dont believe he has been given enough opportunities to become one. In saying that his work up forward has been really good in the last month. There's a fair chance a new coach next year would try and mould him into a midfielder that kicks goals, ala Scott Thompson.

Grant Thomas OR Guy McKenna

Interesting to note that Mckenna was rated last when interviewed for the saints gig.

The roos kicking for goal was shocking. They easily should have been 8 goals up at three quarter time. That Leroy Brown will give roos supporters grey hairs.

Seeing David Neitz handball to Ricky who had 2 opponents on him in the forward 50, instead of kicking long to the goal square, was clearly not a natural instinct for him. He was following instructions, and they were some dumb instructions.

You have a good point there. When he saw Neitz dish it off i thought it was extreamly unlike him. Sometimes in life sometimes it may be best to ignore stupid instructions.

IT'S NOT THE COACH! WE HAVE INJURIES! IT'S THE PLAYERS!

fyi, that's sarcasm

I love it when people make a sarcastic statement and then let everyone know they were being sarcastic.
