I'm hoping he's assuming that the Lions will qualify for a before round 1 priority pick.

Chris Judd's shoulder's were always strapped. Just saying.

Prendergast told Matt Burgen in his re-cap after the draft that we would've. Instead................we were left with Lucas Cook. I remember waiting the couple of minutes after the top 10 selections were announced, praying that GC wouldn't take Lynch. They did. As a result i was hoping that we'd take Darling. What followed was me cursing at the radio for a good 20 seconds. Lucas Cook!!! FMD, i'd laugh if that decision still didn't hurt. I knew right then that Prenderghast had NFI.

Yep, the gulf between top 10 picks and the end of the 2nd round is not as great this year, compared to other years. Though i don't really rate this year's draft quality as good as other year's either. Next year is supposed (though they say it just about every year) to be a bumper crop.

The incentive is that next year's draft is meant to be of much higher quality than this year's one.

I'd be tempted to swap our 2017 1st rounder with GC/GWS for one of their 2016 first round picks, then couple that up with ANB (if needed) for Hartlett. That way we could bring in both Hibberd and Hartlett, both very good kicks (and tough & physical to boot). It looks like we're backing our current crop of young KPD's in, sign up Hoges and our KPF's are set, get a couple of good kicking smalls (Hartlett & Hibberd), then all we need is to bring in another Ruck/Forward and our list would be just about set to have a tilt in a couple of years.

No idea how Selwood got the captaincy over Danger. Not only is it a fait accompli that he'll win the Brownlow & Cats B&F in a canter, of all players' to lead their teams to wins this year, he's done it the most.

Yep. I love how the Scum are trying to entice O'Meara into the PSD and get him for nothing, yet when the shoe is on the other foot (Hibberd going through Grievance Tribunal), listen to how much they b*itch and moan.

Was very happy for him. Was a great goal!

Care to elaborate...............or is it just your opinion?

Agree he is a huge sook and goes looking for frees wayyyyyyy too much. Need to get that out of his game just as much as fixing his kicking technique.

Well it was certainly a disgraceful way to end the year. Many players' looked like they had already checked out.

Yep FF's predominantly take their marks inside forward 50.

Nope, not even close

he has

Agree Cards, if the Dons are asking for an early 2nd rounder for Hibberd, Dawes is worth at least a mid 1st rounder.

Can't hurt

He can talk the talk, but cannot walk the walk. I'd stay clear. What, too far???

Could he?.......................he could Should he?.....................he shouldn't Will he?..........................he won't

It's his inconsistent set-shot approach that seems to be causing the most trouble for him. I don't care if he adopts a flawed approach at goal, so long as he finds a consistent routine that gets results, more often than not. Josh Kennedy has found a way to make the stutter approach work for him.

The loss we had to have.....................you're kidding me right? With potential finals on the line, and with all the talk coming out of the club (mostly the playing group) about not looking to next week and just focusing on Carlton, i'd have thought that it was the win we needed to have.

Not that it helps, but Jeff White would've done wonders in this team!

You're judging O'Meara on what he was, not what he now is. He's been out of the AFL scene for 2 years now, so no-one knows what he is capable of now.

We took Salem in the draft, pick 9 (Salem) came with Tyson.

2 top 10 picks according to Rocket. Compares him to Treloar in terms of quality and trade value. If fit i'd agree, but O'Meara is not fit, in fact he has not play an AFL game for 2 years now. This significantly diminishes his trade value to either 2 x later first round picks, or 1xtop10 & 1 x 2nd round pick, if GC are lucky. O'Meara is out of contract and if he chooses to leave, GC will need to accept the best offer that is given to them.
