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 -
But was it ? Given the club OUGHT to have done its diligence and would therefor have been in a much more knowledgeable position than many of the so called media experts (of which 90% are dlckheads ). The club should have been aware ( more than it seems ) of Jimmy's hip problems etc. This should have discounted heavily his worth when using such a highly valued pick. Wines didnt present any of this concern. Most pundits had both players at around the same mark and many thought it a monty Wines would go go Melbourne as its( he ) exactly what we needed. Indeed there seems incredulous disbelief amongst some at AAMI park that Jimmy's name was even called out. What it WAS was the decision made, but was it the right one. I'd say no. Bang for buck these two kids are miles apart. The only hope the club really can harbour is that Dimitri becomes at least a decent player > I doubt anyone seriously thinks at the club he'll be the star that many here on the boards think he's destined to be. The club can indeed use ( and needs ) a fair number of good decent mids. lets hope he at least gets to this. The boat has sailed on getting the gun recruit .

There is absolutely no guarantee Jimmy will come good as many suggest. It only really a hope and in some ways a near desperate one for if this doesn't transpire its another wasted pick. I also hope he does as we need good mids. Jimmy might become one, Ollie already is. Just hope Dimitri isnt the new Sylvia of sorts. Ive nothing for against this kid. I only care about the footy and the list wearing red an blue. Currently hes only just an adequate VFL player. He has a lot of ground to cover.....if still on OUR list in a few months time. I trust Roos Taylor and Co. Be interesting to see what THEY do.

which means I'll listen to the OTHER 10% then

Ollie Wines if nothing else is a topical and relevant reminder that we need to get drafting right. We obviously didtn do our dilligence well ( if at all ) Some seem happily dismissive of this. Yep..we cant change that fukk up bit should serve as sobering incentive to get better at it.

No the joy is the blind denial that we can all enjoy until the names are actually called. Even then we can live in "believed" expectations until round 1. All bets are off then. Reality kicks in. Its an Annual event Maple...kick back get a crate of Labatts ( Blue's my fav ) and ride the vibe
