It just seems like a long time to be paying Clarry's contract. Are there other agreements in the league that are this long?

Is there anything better than Soundgarden music on a damn good sound system?

Thought Brisbane outfit Ball Park Music did a good job supporting Oasis on tour. Give them a go but just don't blame me when 'Please don't move to Melbourne' gets stuck in your head.

I was likely one of the shouter downers Picket. I thought he was bankable as a dynamic goalkicking mid in under 18s. Still shocked at how it all turned out. I will say though that people are never quicker to defend Watts with the line that he would have thrived had he come to a club that wasn't a basketcase. It's rare to hear people say this about Toumpas and the club was even more of a basketcase when he arrived.

I think 3 or 4 years ago when strong bodied midfielders were the hot ticket you would have banked him to go in the top 30. You don't need all 22 (sorry 23) to be great kicks as long as there's enough to feed it out to!

I am liking this pick more and more as the days go by after seeing and reading about him. The dynamic aspect of his game his so impressive. Speed, endurance, leap, ground ball work it's all there. The low centre of gravity could make him pretty menacing, from the limited footage his defensive tackling pressure is great and makes opponents feel like they're in quicksand. These are the picks JT generally excels in.

Definitely. I think we've all just been really patient and want timelines 😛

Couldn't have put it better myself Jack. I was so happy to see Hassa present Xavier with the guernsey. He kind of gets overlooked sometimes as a 'Mr MFC' but shouldn't. He's as Melbourne as anyone and I'd love to opportunity to meet him myself.

Great pick! Absolutely stoked. Wasn't sure we'd add to the midfield stocks this year but this is a great surprise late in the proceedings. Clean, clean hands. That's the first thing I think of with him. We talk about players not practicing goalkicking enough these days, I'd be surprised if kids practice the in-close fast hands stuff. The stuff where you get your friend to fire it at you from close range every which way, this guy has it. The size is there, man, I'm nearly as rapt about this one as I was with Taylor!

Took a while but he's finally here. Here's hoping he can be even half of what his dad was.

It definitely helps to have a RB in decent form to keep the run defense honest in that setup. Or really any setup that leans on play-action passing.

Yeah why not!

Helps when you buy them with scholarships around year 8-10 😜 Just messing around @Adam The God !

Nothing wrong with keeping in touch with Bails. Not talking just talking.

JT putting in the work early for next year. If it gets us Humphries then it's a home run. Seriously though, happy to add new dimension to the small forward stocks. Faster version of Spargo?

I'm surprised that Hibbins-Hargreaves didn't crack the top 50. Durability and injury is a concern but it didn't seem to phase many teams this year, some taking players in the first round who didn't play much this year. Does the lack of VFL exposure play a part and being tested against the bigger bodies? I'm just trying to figure it out.

Ouch! Chris Cornell tribute act with a bunch of local artists at the Tote on Dec 6 for anyone interested. These guys put on a great show and money raised goes to Beyond Blue 🙂

Unfortunately I don't make the rules Dub!

We're missing the box lid.

Look Darnold had a serviceable game minus the turnovers. You generally want guys like him to succeed in the NFL because they are likeable and it sounded like the team really rallied around him. He just has that habit of slinging when the pressure dials up and making the right decision or throw in that moment is one of the more difficult things as a QB but you'd want him to take that next step and minimise turnovers in that scenario. I'd have given Evans a game ball and I don't usually give them to players who make one good play! Who doesn't love a good coffin corner kick, it is 'football' after all! Your run game seems to be on the improve with Williams showing some burst and around 7 yards a pop.

Blokes who can kick goals and physically compete a bit I'd be happy with.

Think we have more holes to fill than just a key forward spot these days. No longer the missing jigsaw piece that many thought it was.

I was stoked with the Taylor pick and I'm pleased with the calculated risk taken on Pickett. Bold moves build clubs.
