Im just mulling over who the club has drafted in recent years... The type...the character.. Curnow reminds me of...........no one...just saying

what are your leanings ?

why broadcast your intentions needlessly ? Remote ..but impossible ?

I did think both Weed and CC would slide a bit from their lofty elevations...That was before this too. A lot of what will go to selections are how the lads interviewed and such. Be difficult for may scribes if any to be privy to that and at this end of things might just nudge one player forward and others along as it were. We only see from the outside and clubs are deciding with 'inside' knowledge. Whilst I think you do need to bank and build for rainy days Melbourne has no such luxury. If we are to maintain momentum and retain the interest of the list it has to get moving and very quickly. Players who will take that time to develop arent adding to the cake a great deal in the near future. Who ever comes will need to be dead keep on pushing for games next year. That doesnt mean to say they will get them , but they might, nor do we NEED them there , but it helps. Just as Gus said Im here let me at it...and made selecting him irresistible I think Parish could do similar... The effect of more ability in the guts will be a tonic for this team.

really ?? just failed the no DH test id have thought !!

No...nor would i but i might roll out a trojan horse as it were.Pick 3 is hiding in plain sight. Pick 7 ...hmm. I keep thinking about why we played shenanigans for 3. Has to be for someone whod be there at 3 but not 4 . Only one really fits....Parish.

and what chance a player OUTSIDE of that six is taken ?

iys just a question . I wonder though how often you would as compared buy a lemon ?

yes...indeed but where my train of thought goes is as part of any risk minimising youd steer towards factors/elements/ 'knowns" that will hopefully provide a decent footballer. Whre , iimho you DONT go with early picks is to players where things are 'suss" . A classic recent case in point.. dare I say it Toumpas.. He had ability but big clouds re body being A1.. Why go there with early pick....its a crap shoot for sure then. Especially when better credentialed I.e able to walk run chew and kick footies all at same time were available. Here we have 'Weed" he might be a gem... he might be nobbled. Do you really play a trump against a low hand ? ( might need understanding of 500 or whist there lol ) 3 and 7 arent for dallying with

So you agree its nature is speculative.. Id put it that taking two mids wouldnt be. And recruiters are paid to recruit...not gamble

chances are he'll still grown a few more cm's...hes still young

Theres a difference between understanding what a talent existed and what it might be. That's speculation. A problem for talls is often their early dominance in kiddie ball doesnt always continue as the opposition and such are more his size as they progress into adult footy. I have no doubt hes a talent Id be spending #3 on something a little more definite, same really for 7. But thats me. Will be interesting to see how the club uses these early selections. For a change our future doesnt DEPEND on them. It should help of course but no need to pin every hope on these kids. TGFT

Nothing beats a good ol' chin wag emanating from religion to to facilitate the cream rising eh

Fair comment. Makes picking him very early incredibly speculative..

Interesting how highly Weideman is rated ...seems to all be based on past glories. Other players have more relevant runs on the board in recent times which I would have thought carried more weight. I wouldnt put this guy top 10 let alone waste pick 3 on him each to own I suppose

Id still have Parish a tad higher than she has...but it's all rather moot really. Our recruiters will place them as they see warranted.

what am i missing..

There are some Princesses here

Milera ahead of Parish ?The Quayle possibly risks being a goose.

MMeawhile in the world of Football all await the day of Judgement

I have distant memories of talking footy here once. Might grab a Banana smoothie and reminisce.

Strangely Stuie Ill agree with most of this in as much as you cant discuss something you know nothing or little about.Years ago I actually read the Quran. Came away thinking theres a lot of books in the wrong part of the Library !! For the most part it, Quran, is just anothers viewpoint and interpretation of belief and surrendering to a religions directive. There are fanatics from many beliefs. The current lot of Sharia inspired loonies is todays winner of mentally vacant despots. The Spanish inquisition says hi

Stuie... when these extremists start their murderous exploits with 'Allahu akbar " are we supposed to be in any doubt as to which version of religious dogma they're invoking ?My previous point suggested a Jew would not indulge pork nor celebrate Christmas as thats not their belief. To do so would violate their ideals. An Islamic extremist going nuts is not necessarily doing the same . For they believe they are taking the Quran (or passages thereof ( to their inevitable destiny.i.e Not contradicting it...but enacting it. A fundamental difference I would have thought.

and on the seventh day......

Thats like saying Jew bought some Pork to have for Christmas.Neither is plausible as its fundamentally opposite to the core beliefs held. A vegetarian who eats meat is simply enlightened
