Ablett was good, but his impact was quite average. He was always under huge pressure when he got possession and rarely was able to find open space. His 40 possessions probably over flatter him. He was by far Geelong's best player, but Coll would feel his impact was well contained.

He turned 16 in April this year, so I assume he is in year 10 now, although he could be in the young-for-year category? That would mean 2012 would be his year 12 and F/S draft year to MFC I believe he can nominate next year as a F/S (to avoid special 17yo GWS draft) and then still be drafted in 2012

Bottom four, no question, and, probably for two years You only have to look at history

Settle down folks Collingwood can't win, the colliwobbles will strike again Much much better to have the filth make the grand final and fail again, hopefully by a bad umpiring decision with a Aints goal after the siren, or anything suitably controversial Couldn't possibly hate the Aints more than the Filth

Yes, I believe he has that option i.e. nominate next year as a FS, but get drafted in 2012

don't understand your comment re defence i.e. . . . bluechip. . top 4 . . battlers Did you mean to say they are "blue chip" or "blue collar"? Care to reword?

I agree we have the "makings" of a decent midfield, but the midfield is a current weakness if we are being honest, and there is no guarantee the "makings" will evolve to elite, which is what we need for a flag. Someone like Mundy could be icing on the cake and good insurance And talking of cakes, I want my cake and eat it too re a quality KPF for #12. Problem is we are not likely to get a quality KPF this draft. Best we might get is potential, wheras Mundy is already there. No easy choices here

Why don't you say what you really mean nostradeemus? PML

Hope would be the operative word, the odds aren't that good and rising at #12 25YO gun would be a good deal for #12 draft pick, but the spondulas would be high

COULD . . . . COULD . . . . COULD WON'T . . . .WON'T . . . . WON'T NO . . . . NO . . . . NO

Besides, the cost of 24/7 chaperones/minders would be astronomical

Wasn't me who proposed it I just said I'd take it (bet you would too)

Just so sad ! But, also inspirational ! GO Jimmy, GO Dees

3 out of 4, FANTASTIC - bad luck greeny Only 2 from 6 interstate sides (no SA, no NSW, no QLD) No Bummers - sob,sob Np Roo's Only 2 for Aints - won't be happy

Probably semantics, but I took CS to mean that it will be "based-on" a 60's demon not necessarily identical. What the differences are we will have to wait and see LOL, yes you, sorry, didn't take notice. You said "Anyone have anything else from the 1960's with a demon on it?"

never said we would, he just asked for demon images of the 60's it still gives you an impression of what a demon of that era could look like. someone could take inspiration from aspects of it and do a more modern interptetation? anyway its already been done and this is all just a bit of speculative fluff

LMAO, even got Dunny's tash have a look at Diablo Demons avatar, thats from the 60's (Hun 64 GF poster by WEG)

definitely

I think you'll find that the AFL (unfortunately) mandates white shorts for away teams. Just another overkill I was researching NRL away strips over the weekend via google and found a few things a. They don't insist on so much white on the jumper as the AFL do b. No rule on white away shorts. Most clubs seem to use their predominant home colour (eg storm purple) This makes a HUGE difference to the overall look without detracting on clash issue (IMHO) c. Many NRL fans are upset over clash strips - many forums discussions As a first step, I wonder if the AFL might bend a little over white shorts??? (dreaming??)

NO, not "different colours", just white according to the AFL And, only perceived (not actual in most cases) "clashes" in the eyes of the AFL And, according to some, not the "sole" purpose Again, you oversimplify it E25

I understand they have to nominate the draft year before the draft in that year Not sure exactly by what date though

yeah i know, greatest until the next (soon huh?) I hadn't taken much notice of the demon before as a logo - prob best i've seen its never easy to create a demon thats appealing but not too frightening or sinister

Hey Diablo, just love the demon on your weg inspired avatar Much better than current one

Gotta go for Green Apart from all the obvious reasons, the fact he got the players award on B&F night has got to count very heavy
