Boomer says hi.

And that is what makes it exciting.

If Andrew Brayshaw is taken by an interstate club, I expect them to also take his brother if possible, to lessen the go home factor.

And we own a prime piece of real estate in Bentleigh.

Has someone left a window open, I feel a draft coming?

Only for those who were awake.

I can hear Annie singing now, " the Draft will come out, tomorrow".

How about Ginger Meggs the comic strip character or Ginger the Movie Star, from Gilligan's Island.

Agree. Met him a few times and he was just a fantastic bloke. He gave me a copy of one of his books once and I mentioned another one of them and he took my address and sent me a free copy. Just unbelievable. Very sad loss to his family and friends and all those who met him and at far too young an age. One of natures' true gentlemen and good guys.

I agree and think people can get carried away with the Draft, unrealistically hoping that each draftee will make it when we all know from experience that is not going to happen. Unless you have a very poor list, it is nearly impossible to find more than 2-3 top 22 players each year.

Wouldn't call her "wifey". That is the name of a famous porn star and her site. Will admit though she is a beautiful woman.

Watts on this week?

Just trucking along. Not quick but faster than the ox.

You have obviously decided that Corey won't make it. Some of us disagree. So rather than being optimistic and excited about untried players in the off season, you would rather talk about our past glories I guess.

I find it exciting to see the new kids come into the club and watch their development. With Pat, as you say, we have another player who we have not yet seen and who is like another young draftee. Balic is another in this category and you could also add Joel Smith, Corey Maynard and Dion Johnstone. Exciting times ahead.

I never saw Viv, Ben and Ben do what I have seen Corey do, so he is different. Also my temperature never rose a degree with those blokes. Corey is a bigger unit and he just may raise a few temperatures this year. To dominate a midfield in a VFL final and have Morris hit you three times after you got rid of the ball, basically illegally and with all his power and then to shrug those hits off and continue to dominate is exciting. I think Maynard is capable of becoming a regular senior player, which the other three were not.

And there you have smart future list construction, made possible by a reasonable current list.

I only want to watch the second half.

Fox Footy still hasn't listed the Draft in their program guide, 6 days out. People complain about club websites.

What player going to a new club is not enthusiastic with the new club and coach.

Agree . It is hard not to feel sick when you have the first pick and you choose the only one of the first 4 selections that on results today is deemed not worthy of a top ten pick. But that is a consistent theme of our drafting pre Taylor.

What about with later picks? Do you pass on a player who is better than someone you already have in that position? If yes, would that not make a bit of a mockery of drafting, unless you were so bad in other areas that it was essential that they be fixed first? Are we in that position?

The post I replied to was about players returning home to play at the same club as a sibling, or so I thought. Don't think Pendles or Juddy come into that category.

Yep just like Zak Jones.
