Brad Green is a gun and I can't wait to get him back

Bennell and Jetta, yum.

One very good quarter

Green with a broken jaw apparently.... What a win though, great feeling! Some of the worst skills I've ever seen, especially from the Yellow and Black boys. That period in the Second was a disgrace, watching it now. Far out

Dappa, I mentioned it earlier in this thread. NA NA NANA, NANANA NA, HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE

Losing to Richmond put the nail in Daniher's coffin, it's only fair if we can do the same for Terry.

Not much in it for the other teams. All they'd be doing is potentially alienating potential fans - of which they are desperate for. This is why Melbourne Victory want no part of linking with an AFL side, because if you back one team in Melbourne, you alienate 9 others

Jordan McMahon pretty well sums up their drafting/recruiting for me

Calabrese, the fact it's round 4 into his first season and we're STILL talking about him possibly kicking 10 goals clearly underscores that we wasted Pick One, not to mention the fact he's not even captain at the moment, better pull his socks up

3 more...for now

Name an inspiring membership campaign.

Inspiring? Like the membership campaign used by.....errr...ummmm... the Troo buys? Like...

I just want to see us fight it out, every ball every contest. Good old fashion battle of wills

Truthful, crystalball-like foretelling of the future, jest?

Other than that I doubt his confidence is ever down, and that I feel he showed his talent last year, pretty good post Riicky! Though, his "down period" seems to be his career

I went for them pre-alignment thanks to Mum, so I'm sticking with them whilst following the Dees boys

Isn't Viney's Son playing Under 14's, surely he'd be close to the top of the list?

He has been in the country 3 hours?

Yeah, oh look I absolutely understand and I hold high hope for a lot of our younger players (though have concerns over how they'll develop without leadership) but I don't want to simply buy into the "high draft picks will equal success" theory. It's just not true and will lead to heartache. I think we'll win less than 4.5 games this year, but not through "tanking," but simply because we are not good enough. And of course, I'll "hope" that the high drafts picks can become quality players for the club. However, our batch of top draft picks listed in this thread don't inspire pure confidence in me. Yeah, sorry for the confusion HT, I meant whilst I have hope for them, they have not shown that they will be part of a good, Premiership threatening, nucleus which is what was initially claimed.

"Their" HT. Geez, I'd love to have Daniel Cross in the Red and Blue

But "hope" isn't what I'm talking about. The original post pointed to the "fact" we'd have 16 top 20 players on our list and thus a quality nucleus, only a few have actually shown that they could help forge a Premiership tilt. Maric, whilst he has a bright future, hasn't shown this. Grimes, though I believe he will be a quality player, has played one game. Frawley, though I like him, has struggled to even hold his own spot let alone look like being a part of a Premiership core group of players. Top draft picks do not guarantee quality players, though obviously increase the chances of getting one.

Are you saying Frawley and Maric have proven they can be part of a Premiership-winning nucleus? You're joking surely

Quality not quantity however. Bell, PJ, Sylvia, Meesen, Bate, Dunn, Frawley (not to mention Grimes and Maric, though I hold high hopes) have shown little to prove that they are the future "nucleus" of the side, let alone a quality, Premiership winning one.
