I don't exactly know what you are asking but here goes; 1. He can only go though the ND, then the PSD, then the RD. 2. He cannot pick which draft to go into.

Maybe we would have won 1 game instead of 2 if we didn't go to the NT. Or maybe it's really irrelevant.

I think confidence and resilience has to be rebuilt and I still believe that the majority of our list might be a little punch drunk from the last couple of years. Roos will help and so will a couple of the new boys who haven't dealt with it but I still think we are going to have some bad form and when it will come half the 22 will go to water, simply on muscle memory.

lol Port did what we did. They did heat training in the NT. Heat training and altitude training both have their experts claiming superiority, frankly I think the effects of both are minuscule. Altitude requires 3 months of sustained training at altitude for it to last 6 months. That's from a few boys who work at the AIS at my footy club up here. Collingwoods 3 weeks in Arizona are laughed at by cyclists like Evans who will dedicate months up in the hills to get a small benefit. I think worrying about where we do our pre season camp is a waste of time tbh.

Sounds like a very honest bloke, maybe too honest... But Roos and Viney calling his folks is a nice if hardly a standard touch. I wonder how we would react to that if we knew this and we didn't get him, or if we knew, didn't get him, and it was another coach not named Paul Roos... His description of what Adelaide thought of his future will worry some Dees supporters if they take that at face value; Vince said that Sanderson and co. explained he had zero chance of getting another contract after 2014. They really wanted to get some value for him... Frankly, the whole Sylvia-Vince-ND23 deal was a a good deal for all three clubs. They all got good value for what they lost.

We don't have a second round pick, we have 3rd and 4th round picks - that is what TD is talking about. We also do not have a 5th round pick so if we were to delist another player and pick a replacement it would be with Pick 94 in the ND (this would end up being about the 75th live pick if used). I don't think we will take more than 3 in the ND. Maybe delist one either Nicholson of Jetta to use in the PSD or DFA. Maybe.

Anonymity doesn't make what is written on the internet non-corporeal. It removes all context and sheds credibility but an insult is an insult whether you know that person's name or not. With that said - there are worse opinions then thinking someone is crap or a dud. To those criticising BH for that, there are far more vile and mean spirited things being said on BF, Facebook, and even on here about posters and a few players.

Take the bloke with pick 9 then... If he is the difference between hypothetical flags and all.

For the past few years I have decided to form my 21+1 around the midfield rotations and leave aside the traditional 'lines' as I see them as only relevant in helping people count to 18 on the field... Ruck: Jamar Fwds: Clark, Dawes, and Gawn (2nd ruck). Defs: Frawley, Garland, McDonald, Clisby, Terlich, and Toumpas. Mid Rotation: N Jones, Cross, Vince, Viney, Trengove, Tyson, M Jones, Michie and Grimes (rotate back), and Watts, Howe, and Hogan (rotate fwd). I want to get Watts and Hogan up the ground for different reasons, and I would love to see all of Cross, Vince, Michie, and Tyson fit and firing for this game. All are first choice mids in our midfield (save for Michie who has to prove himself above Evans, Kent et al).

Deliriously...

A 50% improvement on 2013 is 3 wins with a percentage of 75%...

I don't know if that has been tested yet. I don't think it will be allowed.

Facetious about politics, that is tautology.

He knew what you meant - he was just tearing it down.

No, you can take it to the general board.

You mean what the players did to put Shannon in the LG. I think a few on here have a reprehensible attitude to a bloke who simply signed a contract and wanted to be a Dee. At some point, we are going to stop regurgitating all our perceived failures and start moving in a forward direction.

Our current coach picked up a few players from other clubs that were, or set to be, cast aside. We have already resurrected Cross' career, given a three year deal to a 28 year old, and traded for two kids who hadn't seen a lot of footy. I would not be surprised if we continue to look at former players of other AFL clubs over teenagers.

Yeah, let's keep doing things the way we have been doing it while failing. We'd be crazy not to.

It's surprising that no one at the club stopped him from making a fool of himself and the club by going on the radio.

Until others surpass him, he will be in the midfield rotation of the MFC. We put lines through players out of some desire to reject reality - he was our second best midfielder last year. He has all the opportunities in the world to work on his kicking, his decision making, and his ability to spread and find the footy. And if he gets better in those areas then there will be a 'beyond' for him and it might be a while before we 'evolve' past him.

And a whole lot more harder to win...

So Mark Williams will be coaching again? The Saints are poorly run aren't they... November firing of a coach. How often would that have happened?

You are talking about 14% compared to 20% - that is not much success at all... If you had 20 players from each group the difference would be 4 players from the 30-40 group played 100 games and 3 from the 20-30 group played 100 games. The difference there is 'statistical white noise.' Remember that these 5 drafts are for players that are now 24 to 28 - so there may be some movement as players like Watts reach their milestone in the next few years. I chose those years because I didn't want to go too far back as the earlier drafts have lost relevance to today as time passes.

Yeah, too bad the recruiters from all the clubs have already decided and that we are going to take Crouch. lol

We are doing a fine job of it ourselves thankyouverymuch...
