A 5th round draft pick for a 206cm ruckman with a few games under his belt..............................As Big Brother's motto was.... "I don't think so..." :D
I know what your thinking..............but MFC are staying put.
If you read on regarding comments posted by sydneyites via the link you posted, they're "NOT HAPPY JAN", about the AFL infiltrating...Can't say they weren't warned by Demetriou.
I would think the priority pick at 18 or 19 or whatever it is might be what Freo might be after. They wouldn't want him to go through to the PSD, they would want something in return.. He's too young for that.
Isn't the PSD predominantly made for "used" players anyway? (Used = having played a number of years, and just about finished with a little left still to offer)
If we beat these teams, we should finish 14th or 15th. Leaving Pick 2 or 3 and the Priority Pick at 18 or 19 respectively depending on if Freo or WCE finish with less than 5 wins. Which they should with their form.
Leave Carroll at Sandy....
Polling on the back 6 for 2009 suggests Carroll should go....with him receiving very little votes. 2 out of 72 i think from Demonland Votes.
After 72 votes have accumulated, 6 players have significantly been voted, those back 6 after 24 hours are: -
BACKS: WHELAN WARNOCK GARLAND
H-BACKS: RIVERS MARTIN C.JOHNSON
With Rivers, Garland and Martin receiving over 60 votes each out of the 72.
I voted 30%. A small chance of making the 8.
And to say that we will struggle even more without experienced players is a cop out.
With the youth that are playing now, it is proof that we are more competitive without the senior players.
Take the blinkers off, because that's not the view I get at my kids school and from my nephew's. They appreciate effort, and they understand that as long as you give your best effort there is always a next week whether you win or lose. Whether you win or lose is irrelevant as long as you try things and have a dip. These are 6-7 year olds. At the local Auskick, kids are encouraged either way. It starts with the parents teachings. Sometimes the kids are swayed by one off visits.
Some of my kids friends believe that the MFC Grand Old Flag song is the best, and their Bulldog and essendon supporters.
And there is interest in the Brownlow Medal and who has won it from kids, regardless of what you think.
One wonders if Lethal is or will receive a kick-back from Foxtel, after saying every player should have Foxtel to familiarise themselves with the game?
Good point Lethal anyway.
