well I dont 'like' it at all, but I empathise

On that note it to me is interesting to note that whilst in the past Dland has gone all gooey over the notion of two early picks and which toddlers will be grab ....and then ff to '14 and I for one dont expect to really use either of our two early picks on the draft. I reckon both will go to trades for REAL players who can do something TODAY. We'' probably craftily pick up a later/mid first round selection but it wont be the focus, just something for the bank, as it always should have been . it is a lottery for sure

so....something happened.....damn.....missed it

and yet you did !!! ( naughty corner )

nor would one

Possibly Volvo Compact ???

sveldt might be realtive but svelte , quite specific....THIN !! ( in a graceful elegant manner )

and the nose grows >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not a massive fan of white bread OD...Dont mind a French Loaf though

I might look at Tomatoes with trepidation in future But your menu is too vague. Tinned Tomatoes or fresh , sliced and lightly fried ? Plastic cheese or some real variety ? Kiddie white toast of something more substantial.....well ...what say you ??

61 6 and 1 crapps !!!

he deep fried his though !!!

always valued....

I reckon the idea of a bloke making a number his own is fine.. There are many to select from. Two numbers with much weight attached are 11 and 31 though I woulndt want either if playing...Id take some non descript numeral and say, this is me. ( i know just about all numbers have history ...)

in all seriousness maybe we should put it aside for a decade or so. Let all the dust settle

this thread really takes some strange turns occasionally !!

Captain Spalding !!

coulda been worse...coulda been Capt !!

kinda simple really isnt it

Your post is possibly self contradictory . you say it is, but then it isnt. It either Is or it isnt ..its like a little bit dead or pregnant. even my viewpoint could be argues as having the same flaw and I concede that. What it all goes to I suggest is there is nothing hard and fast about this...its more than entirely subjective withing certain parameters...those being as I suggested prior...there are the A's the Bs and the rest in any draft. No one actually portends it to BE a lottery but to be like a lottery in that there are no absolutes,No guarantees, no sure things. You take your picks , you take your chances What is never really known til afterwards ( ie career played out...or not ) is where on any path these kids are. Are they sparkling early and fading are they decidedly slow developers have they already peaked

NO..I hear what YOU think it is.. But surely closer examination actually suggest there are MORE exception than otherwise, suggesting it is just a lottery . Even a lottery you can predict with some ability numbers that are more likely to turn up but not necessarily the week you think. Beleive what you like C and B ..please dont proffer that as proof however

touche I havent won a million yet so Im not better ( at picking lottery numbers )

all I see is names and numbers... any coherent point has escaped me. I look forward to you making it.

mate..is a bit like the first 5 rows of a grand prix.. there may be a second between 1st and 10th. its not much and it can be invalidated in the first 500m The draft is often mocked as just this side of a lottery for good reason. Roos reckons its worth even less. So much is seemingly placed into this somewhat subjective contrivance and history suggests youd be better off throwing darts at a board. The point is the club picked the wrong kid. It's criteria was obviously flawed. ( but hey nothing new there ) These experts proved again they are very good at getting much wrong but for reasons unknown many then use their subjective ideas as testament to why certain blokes went at this pick or that. There are without doubt kids who are better than others but its more like theres 10 A' a dozen B's and the rest. Lots of journos are getting paid for making shlt up Id suggest

not really.. its often a fine cut through many in the first 10 AFL phantom draft 2012 Toumpas 4 Wines 5 The Footy Almanac 2012 Picks Toumpas 2 Wines 4 The Hun's Landdsberger/Clark phantom draft Toumpas 4 Wines 7 As Did the Aged's Emma Quayle Knightmare had Toumaps 5 Wines 8 Youre splitting hairs Nut in my book if t you really think there was much between many of these kids
