To post without quoting, scroll down the page and after the last post your 'avatar' appears on the left. Along side is a white rectangular shaped 'box' with a 'thought bubble' and the words 'Reply to this topic...' Click anywhere in the box and it opens up, then type away!
Thanks for that

Really happy with this pick.
Perfect replacement for Hibbo. Can swing through the midfield as well.
Had an outstanding junior career.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to quote you but I am new to this game and don’t know how to post something without quoting. What I wanted to say was :- judging from the the earlier photo we can only hope his mother could play footy because he is the image of her.

So sick of all you Jackson,s no good and we want young, whinging , probably the same lot who wanted the essendon bloke instead of Oliver, Jackson will be twice as good as young, that is why taylor is picking jackson
A good bold call, we’ll done, I would be very disappointed if we didn’t select him.

Which jury is out on Oliver??? nothing wrong with oliver, just the game plan.
You need to understand how the facts are being bent to suit his theory. If we get a poor outcome from the draft you have no idea, a good one is a fluke.

I don't think we have made it known, but I think GWS are basically saying if it came to it, they would take Jackson over Greene
There is only one situation where we would reveal we would not bid for Greene and that is only to GWS after they agreed to trade a valuable player to us in the future. Getting Greene and whoever they pick at 4 is just too valuable to them to take a risk.

Obviously there’s no guarantees but Kemp has all the tools to become a Bontempelli/Fyfe type of player and the only reason he won’t be a top 5 pick is due to his knee injury. I’ve watched several of the U18 matches in their entirety and I can see the Bont/Fyfe resemblance.
I just feel that if he is there at pick 8, we take the long term view and pick him. Hopefully the club feels the same.
In the highlights does he appear a lot bigger than those around him to you? He does to me, and clubs have been hurt in the past selecting someone who developed physically earlier.

Not drafting Jackson because we have Bradtke is about the equivalent of not drafting Hogan because we had Jack Fitzpatrick. Irrelevant.
Plenty of valid reasons not to draft a ruck with a high pick and that they take time is one of the most valid ones but Jackson is one of the best performed players in this draft crop, he's not in the same postcode as Bradtke who by definition couldn't play footy for years to qualify as Cat B.
As I recall Grundy was drafted about pick 18, why would we draft someone with fewer skills at picks 3 to 9. Get a grip.

Hayden Young should be the major target if we keep pick 3.
Have faith, they have watched all of these players all year, they understand more than we do. Our opinions are overwhelmingly based on a brief exposure to a highlight real.

Fair comment and Mindset may have been the wrong word to be honest, i acknowledge that, its my perception of him that he is not an urgent, ultra competitive type, from the outside looking in, he may do so, but id argue that he is more on the laconic side.
I hope we stick with him for the next 4 weeks though, confidence is always one of the best tonics for form.
He kicked 3 against the dogs, should have kicked 3 against the Eagles and one against StKilda. Averaging over 2 a game in you your first 3 games as a forward at senior level ain’t that shabby. Worth bearing in mind the most “laconic” player I ever saw play was Peter Hudson.

“Could it be a draw Butch” Lost count of the number of times I heard that. He was good but not the best. That accolade rests with one just retired for mine.

Richmond vs Carlton - Game has started so my predictions are irrelevant.
Collingwood vs Geelong - Pies by 27
Adelaide vs Hawthorn - Crows by 20
Western Bulldogs vs Sydney - Swans by 15
Brisbane vs West Coast - Coasters by 24 (But i really want Brissy to win, they should be quite good this year)
St Kilda vs Gold Coast - Saints by 1
GWS vs Essendon - Giants by 36
Fremantle vs North - Norf by 12
As long as we win, the other results won't matter to me one bit tbh. Much as i suspect every other AFL supporter thinks.
Your predictions are irrelevant whether the game has started or not, who cares.

Curnow will be another Jesaulenko in time and Carlton will be more than competitive including finals in 3/4 years.

I don’t think the Victorian Government or the AFL Have any agenda against us. I think perhaps they are both embarrassed by some of the facilities the club that gave birth to this game is consigned to. It is is possible a sight has already been identified that they support but the MFC reject. We are therefore on our own developing this prospect until their financial backing can be tipped in. Just my hunch.
