strangely Im somewhat more intrigues with these picks than the first two

When he dropped to the ground , trapping ball and allowing his defender to over run him was just football beauty to enjoy

Hardly "anything" Is his own fault he's in the spotlight

Itll be like the morning after the big party come wed. Still the shape and style of the list will be known in the main. Only be the rookies left to sort

Actually Red id be less than impressed with us using 3 or 7 on suss1 or suss2. Pick a tall at 7 if be the ideal but i seriously think theres better value and more assurity of garnering a better long term player than those 2

Ah thats a devilish quandary...lolIts not the occasion though in this instance. The context is Curnow. The concern here is two fold. 1) Is he just your average 18yo male idiot ? 2) Is this the style/type of decision maker you want at your club. The first doesnt affect us in isolation but it is a concern for all. The latter simply goes to results on the field. poor head ...poor play

Somewhat ironic, then again possibly not, given Davey's time with the Tiges

DR J D. I think that last bit is close to the mark. The 'massaging' of the truth. Firstly I must make it clear the AFL tribunal was a joke , a sham, a contrived circus. It was funded by the AFL ...it was loaded with AFL sympathetic adjudicators with an outcome prescribed by the AFL. None of the 3 learned ones did the world any favours there.At that event it would have been the style to indeed present a version of the truth which worked with the desired outcome. No one was going to ask any awkward questions. No one wanted to join dot a with b . It would have run like a daytime soap. Now we have the antithesis in play. The players called before will have needed to wear antisquirm undies as the questioning will have got a lot more pointy. In the first instance the AFL set the agenda and effectively approved the scope and as such the lines of questioning. The AFL designed the relevance to suit.Anyone suggesting otherwise really can't live in this town. CAS has a simple function. To arbiter disputes. It has no favourite. It listens , it asks and it deliberates before making it's judgement and any applicable asides as to penalties. Its free of the constraints of a proprietary tribunal. Players, indeed anyone called before this court, may well find themselves in unfamiliar territory. CAS just wants the facts and as much of them as can be mustered in order to arrive at the truth. That's the goal at CAS...the truth. The goal of the AFL tribunal was a satisfactory outcome. Players will have had to face a much more determined counsel in Young. They had better had worn their brown corduroys. The boys were facing WADA now. They were playing an away game with no home ground advantages.

just curious as to why..or how. Mathieson strikes me as a straight forward in sn under get the ball give it to mate type of playet. Aka in trade as 'first hands'. Other's views are interesting Cheers

Interesting he has both Weed and Curnow further down than most. Oddly it marries with my thinking they go later than many suggest. Will be curious to see how his rankings taĺly with the draft.

Thanks for posting the link PD

yeah i thought so lol

if we take a tall..so be it...but Id be flabbergasted if we forego Parish at 3

Id prefer two mids... Id happily take Parish and Mathieson but if we take a tall developing fwd then I wouldn't be adverse to us drafting Mckay at 7 Hes a bit raw...he young hes very good coming off a late start to footy really. This suggests there's a hell of a lot of growth in his game to come.. He can mark, he can kick, hell that's better than a lot of our previous fwds !! by game 1 2017 I think he'd be a great foil ( if not a target in his own right ) to Hogan. if that's what we're thinking with pick 7/10

yeah but what do you do when brown bags are a thing of the past ?

yyou're right as such. I glossed over the depth of review but no one will be watching them all the time.Theyll really only concern themselves with things at a football level and cursory regard to the personal lives unless something has flagged them to do so. The resources to do otherwise are prohibitive. Sometimes the first you know of deviations such as these are when presented in your face. Parents can live with kids and not know half the things that they're up to. I'd be very impressed if footy clubs knew better.

good handle on things

Courtesy of that luminary . the one the only, lets hear it for....TITUS O"REILLY Easily the worst AFL draft Preview ( reckon hes done ok actually ) Highlights : PICK 4: MELBOURNE — DARCY PARISH (Geelong Falcons) Parish is a midfielder who is known for using the ball well. That’s something new the Demons are really keen to try after a decade of recruiting players who thought ‘accuracy’ was some sort of accounting software. Darcy says he can’t wait to play for Paul Roos for a whole year. PICK 10: MELBOURNE — HARRY McKAY (Gippsland Power) A forward who the Demons need to take some of the workload off Jesse Hogan. Melbourne remind me of a guy who is dating someone they know is out of their league. They’re just doing anything to keep them. You want another key forward? Sure. You don’t want to commit long-term yet? That’s cool I say, even though I cry myself to sleep because you haven’t. Thanks Titus, could live with that

There's the old adage....There's what you say, and there's what you do !!" It's not beyond reason to suppose a lot of club's current info on players is made up of scouts reports, recruiting observations etc There'd be some interviewing etc but In many instances only a cursory delving into the real 'person'. Events like this raise a flag....or should .

easily done....so many "out there "

Better before than after

10 effectively though 10th pick... 7 live

Chinese....get it right

yes its not really a debate is it

Good Doctor I dont think one stays at Her Majesty's if not affected and/or worse for wear ? In good spin practice, even now we are only being told what suits them at this juncture.
