These kids just won't do the hard yards.

32 and 24 First lesson HT, before posting, listen to the wind blowing between BBO's legs and when you see the golden rays of the sun, face the direction of the moon and contemplate, why the countdown exists. When you begin to understand, ask the trees for permission to post. You will have that permission, when the branches blow to the East in the breeze. Remember this all of the days of your life.

True, but the kid needs encouragement.

You are learning. Stick with me and I will make a countdown master out of you yet.

Also 1 for the countdown aficionados. 1 day until trade week over.

I am pleased. But that is not a thing to boast about.

34 and 26

Criterion.

35 and 27

36

Read post 17860, no there hasn't.

Have you been skyping me? I am thinking of starting up my own site, red and bluetube.

Just had a milkshake, the first in years. I had the choice of banana but chose espresso, something different. I feel so dirty and ashamed.

Read daisy's post at 5.45 saturday and you will understand. 37.

37 or 16 for Daisy.

Sunday 37

I am off for breakfast with Mrs. Redleg. Nice banana smoothie is already in my thoughts.

So much anger on the Trade Board. Obviously banana deprivation.

Apparently I have an assistant.

BBO, I know why you wanted to come back so desperately, you missed the countdown. 39 just for you.

Since we appear to have wasted another high pick, I don't find that humorous.

I wonder if it is not Parish we are after?

8 days left to Draft.

#4 Melbourne (Compensation Pick) – Jimmy Toumpas (SA – Mid/Def) Height: 183cm, Weight: 77kg, DOB: 02/01/1994 Recruited from: Woodville West Torrens Style: Luke Hodge Player comparison: Range: 2-5 Profile: Really damaging player with some versatility. Can take over and influence games as well as just about anyone in this draft and throughout the u18 champs for bursts really imposed himself on games which was impressive. Skill level excellent by both hand and foot, has that combination of hurt factor with the penetrating kick he has and clean ball use that will make him a big time weapon. Very capable of unloading for long goals. Consistently good decision maker. High level athlete and has that combination of explosive speed and agility that will make him desirable as well as in game work rate. Endurance excellent. Also has shown very early on that he can lift for the big games which is I strongly believe is something that he will take with him to AFL level. Can play as a midfielder, forward or back which is a big advantage but long term will no doubt develop into a midfielder. Has the ability to play both as an inside and outside midfielder. One important note with Toumpas is that throughout the u18 champs he was playing with hip problems so to play through injury and influence games in the way he did was very impressive. This description makes it sound like he either has played injured with us, didn't try or the description is totally wrong. Wish I knew the answer before he is traded.
