Then why bring it up? Who gives a frack what I was saying about the kid? And how am I too* nice? Explain to me what you are talking about, lest I misread another simpleton.

And you are always picking on whatever anyone says about any player/coach/training session - have some more self awareness.

I never had that view of Magner, it was an infinitesimal number of posters. And you have already forwarded such views to players, I do not wish for you to continue picking up such divisive minority views and sharing them with players as if these few posters are a swathe of MFC supporters - they are not.

I am glad you and 'Tom' are so close... As I have said before - I believed a 20 year old simpleton. Get over it.

I know you didn't mention September. We should expect a flag. You are too nice, a soft touch. Expect more.

Jetta and Georgiou have one year to impress enough for a spot on the main list or they should be delisted. Marmes and King should both be guaranteed two years of the RL or what was the point - I hope the club realises that King will require possibly three years on the RL and two years on the main list to get a return, otherwise it is a waste of everyone's time. I can see up to 10 possible deletions again next season.

I know we have picked up Vince, Cross, Michie, Riley, and Tyson but I would have liked to have seen a few RL spots to Banfield/Thomas/OtherBigBodiedPlayerWithAFLExperience... In regard to that we have Vince and Cross and lost Sylvia. I just thought a bit more preotection for the younger talent would have been advisable. Maybe they didn't see anyone of these types in the best 25.

To S-home, one posters view becomes the whole community's, especially when he relays these minority views to players.

I didn't comment on your negative views in that training thread... I think you should stick to worrying about what I said, not any supposed sycophantic motive for what I said.

Well, you're pulling whatever Jolly can bring as a leader/mentor out of your arse so let's call it a draw...

Do 'we'? I rarely judge picks because I do not watch any junior football, I keep my thoughts on recruitment to; those that have played AFL before, and general musings on why a type of player would be selected above another. If you don't think I have made a good point, say so.

To a few on here the proof is the pudding! I would love to eat some pudding from the 2013 trade and draft period in a few years time.

[shrug] We have Jamar.

Most 4th round picks in the Rookie Draft players don't amount to much...

The bigger accomplishment would be to do it in 2015... The Roos signing has got people excited, but March and April may bring us back to earth. If 2014 is as tough as I envision it to be - it would be huge if we got to 40k members in 2015.

Well, now you're just being ironical...

The wall comes after.

If you are looking for depth for 2014 do you pick the undersized 24 year old who has spent a few years at FB in the SANFL and can do a job instantly or do you pick the 20/21 year old who needs work, and a few years, to be considered good 'depth'? If I was to pick 'depth' players, I would choose 23+ year olds and I would use the RD.

You are talking about the 41st to 44th players on the list. They are all so speculative at this stage - you just sound naive when you say we had an awful Rookie Draft. Everyone usually has 'a bad rookie draft' - the exception would be to have a good one...

He has taken the 4th position on the RL. The last player taken by this club. Who do people who hate this selection think is out there at this point? The last few players on your list is the place to punt; we have picked up two raw mids (Hunt and Harms), a beanpole (King), an ungainly medium defender (Georgiou), and a tough, hard if limited midfielder that we know quite well (Jetta). If your argument is that we 'know' he cannot become anything, then you should have that view of any delisted player being picked up by this club. Maybe their is a role that Roos sees him a chance of fulfilling. You can't say that Watts or Trengove will find their way under Roos while dismissing the improvement of players you don't think are any good.

My 'like' button would not have troubled by many of the above... This is where you should take 18 year old ruckmen (if you take them at all) but I hope they realise that this is 2, possibly 3, years on the RL (if it exists for that long) and then 2 years on the Primary List before this selection comes to anything.

It may have cut short that awful training thread if a poster admonishing all the nastiness got enough likes to make people think twice and/or go back and delete...

I don't think he was on Geelong's list - only their VFL team.

Jeez, guys...

Rookies are outside the cap. Coll and Syd will have 39 and 38 players respectively from reports due to that fact. Again, need to get rid of the RL.
