What frustrates me is the narrative around ‘later picks, being the true measure of recruitment’ Ah nooooooo. Bitter experience tells me that the true measure is what you do with the picks at the top of the draft as they define your success and Taylor has been pure magic. The centre square that drove in our dark fate in the 3rd qtr in the GF, aside from Viney, were top 4 picks; Petracca, Oliver and Jackson. I admire the late picks but I revere the early picks.

I doubt it. If that was the case, another club would have made us pay something for him. He is what the scoreboard says he is. A late selection. Good luck to him.

Roos didn’t rebuild the club around himself because he knew he was there for such a short time. He was like the best consultant you could possibly get. I think Goodwin is going to be remembered as the fulcrum of our renaissance but we don’t need to diminish Roos. Its not zero sum - all can get credit. Jackson, Bartlett, Roos, McCartney, Mahoney, MacPherson, Viney, Taylor, Lamb… a long list of people who did a great job turning this place around.

Fritsch kept us in it early taking every opportunity and they both turned the tide but Petracca won the arm wrestle and then broke the arm.

Yes, I don’t know why the zombie of Brad Scott is doing the announcing of the picks. Halloween is over and once again with Americanisation of our great sport…

Looks like we see more value in keeping a selection for the pre-season than speculating on a kid not seen too much. Sounds pretty smart. Like the look of both picks. Good couple of nights.

Give me some credit, @Demonstone I mentioned the wrong McLaughlin too… Mum says I am funny, it is all of you that are wrong

Ummm, I think you will find Hamish McLaughlin is in charge now… BTW

Yes, but in a mandated vaccinated landscape, the impacts to the body are less severe and the impacts are therefore less and a risk based approach should not see the game impacted.

Won’t be much to livestream aside from the speeches. I suggest they will put together a video of the day. Makes the most sense.

rpfc is coming down to this event! So glad Basil Zemplas is coming over to be MC again!

I think they’d be happier at Saintsational ruining that place. I would welcome Schwab and Neeld back (I would do it today btw) before I would welcome back DrD and the other deadenders. They only come here to get a rise out of posters.

It is amazing the exodus of these people once we got to the mountain top. Pretty much confirming they were trolls.

That was for last season. Don’t think there has been confirmation of 2022.

The worst commentator said that. It's the kind of thing an incredibly dumb bot would come up with.

In a reality with infinite universes… Yeah sure.

Great to see Buckets Holland there.

And @Rhino Richardsgot to see his actual team win one tho lol. I remember that DeezDayz donut, what a little drama king he was. Having said that - where is DrD and Olisik and the other deadenders?

My order of tshirt and beanie haven’t come yet. Others arrived last week

It’s also a collection of individuals. Neeld gets too much ire on here, same with Schwab, and others in the past that did what they felt was best for the club. I do wonder if they found some solace in the premiership, and if they are Demons, we should have the strength and confidence to welcome them back.

Are you … half way through listing their emails? You at least need an @…

He literally cannot attend his essential job - he’s fair game. I’m sorry to hear his mental health is poor but that shouldn’t stop fair reporting of newsworthy events. Such as the fact he’s in the middle of a completing a massive donut.

Who wants to tell him??
