What does this even mean? Do you think that money is tied to ladder position? We required money for payouts of staff, the Lions need it because the Broncos own that town and when they are not winning every game, they struggle to make money. Source please. Just source please... Who the heel makes a claim like that off without the article that goes along with it? Don't ever write 'simples' again. Excellent post and people should read it then click the link and go to Page 122 where it will state that all clubs receive between $9-12m from the AFL. AFL House runs the game, the clubs just play it.

15 years? And you can win titles and still be made fun of in gifs apparently... That was my point. You picked the wrong gif.

Well I could say "you know what I meant" or I could come back with a smartarsed "he didn't play under Roos did he?" I will go with the latter.

When another club has Pick 6 and Pick 10 then the owners of Pick 9 will keep their cards close to their chest. With that in mind, do you think Roos and Viney would do such a thing?

I didn't know any genuine questions ended with 'party pooper'... If I was running the recruitment at the Dees Pick 9 would be the best mid we can get from this draft class, Pick 40 would be the last remaining kid that might be there ahead of the best VFL/SANFL/WAFL midfielder that might be there. I see Garlett as a luxury purchase. There would still be strong bodied mids from the state leagues that we would be leaving on the table. I don't know their names because I can't follow it very closely but they would be there. We still need numbers for our midfield for 2014: Jones, Viney, Tyson, Cross, Trengove, Grimes, Michie, McKenzie, Matt Jones, Pick 9, Vince, Toumpas, Hogan, Watts, Evans, Barry, Howe, Jetta, Bail, Nicholson, Blease and Kent our midfield prospects for 2014. They need to be added to/improved upon for Roos' first season. Viney, Tyson, Michie, Toumpas, Pick 9, Hogan, Watts, Evans, Kent, and Howe should be able to contribute in there but Jones, Cross, Vince, Matt Jones, Grimes, and McKenzie make up our experienced midfield bodies and that needs improvement. That is where my head would be as soon as any of the top 25 or 30 kids are off the table for ND 40 and ND57.

Kobe drools on himself and you want me to be inspired by that?

If Paul Roos, Todd Viney, and Jason Taylor think it is best we don't pick a player - I am inclined to trust their judgement.

I think he will be there at 40 and that we will not pick him.

Frawley, McDonald, Jones, and Kent is less than half. Terlich has not played under Roos so I will wait to see how year 2 goes with him. The rest won't hurt.

He is not a Demon yet.DFA starts Nov 1 as all contracts go till Oct 31.

Interesting question. I guess you will be doing a lot of gesticulating...

Ok, you might be wrong and you are wrong. We might still delist at the next lodgement and it's a 'moot' debate we would be having.

With the inability to use PSD2 as it stands now, I believe that the future of Jetta and Nicholson will be tied to how we go with pushing an OOC kid into the PSD or luring any choice DFAs. Again, with all the different ways to get onto an AFL list these days - it is no fun being a fringe player in October...

Poor Nat Stark. They need to scrap that effing Rookie List. My contracts thread has Jetta and Nicho still unsigned. All I can go on are publicly released info and the odd well placed contact - I still have not seen anything about a new contract for either. With Cross to come on we have 3 spots for the draft, we don't have to use all 3 with Clisby upgraded, only 2. I will update the other thread when I can be bothered.

This is when you learn rpfc is patronising. Come on, kid. Don't be so bloody naive.

Oh, do me! Do me!!

That draft is eulogized as a Superdraft because of the first three players selected. We screwed up our pick but I don't see that draft as being better than any other. Ablett was a FS obviously and Swan was pick 55. The pointy end of that draft is remembered differently to the facts. That was my point.

Are you ok? I know it isn't R U OK day but I will make an exception for somebody who seemingly always is either looking for attention or likes to 'light up' this place with some choice trolling.

His lack of physicality as opposed to his physique is more of an impediment to him playing in the midfield. Adam Goodes comes to mind. He is needed in the midfield because we don't have one. All hands on deck in there I reckon.

I think he is referring to his 16 year old self being a small forward and being drafted to the Dees is his dream...

Yes, torpedo makes a great point - you are never too old. Any Canberrans that want to play footy - PM me and I can point you in the right direction.

It was a terrible selection, as I have noted previously when people were actually wondering how we are so bad earlier this year. I simply meant that the draft itself is remembered as a Superdraft and it really wasn't.

To the GWS? Because that is where he was headed.
