Don't forget JB, you also wanted Talia in 2009 with pick 11, instead we drafted Gysberts. You would've been right again.

No idea, but watch the AFL again make it up on the fly.

Probably not, but the difference is that our delistees were of a known quality (not that good), whilst McKenna is still a bit of an unknown (you never know, we may strike gold)

That, and he has really developed his forward craft, that he is now a forward who can go into the ruck, as opposed to the other way around.

so 8 flags coming our way?

Gee i don't know, maybe because that's generally where the best kids are drafted from. But the strengths of these kids are pretty much already known, the recruiter really earns his money deeper in the draft, when they are required to gamble on and back their own judgement (over other recruiters). Case in point, Jayden Hunt.

Pfft, #1 picks basically pick themselves. A recruiter earns his money from the end of round 1, imo.

I know we are not in a position to gloat (given we are just starting to recover from the abomination that was Barry Prendergast), but SOS is really starting to challenge him in terms of recruiting ineptitude.

This Ainsworth bloke puts Boomer's longevity to shame!

Heard any whisperings on Keilty and Smith KC?

Given that most turn out to be busts, i wouldn't bat an eyelid if we picked ruckman with all our ND and RD picks

He can bring his mate Tim Smith with him!

As it stands, with Grimes, Terlich, M. Jones and now Dawes and Newton being cut (including trading out Dunn and bringing in Lewis, Hibberd & McKenna), our primary list of 37 players' meets the requirement prior to drafting the mandatory 3 players to make up the total primary list of 40. We aren't required to make any further delistings from the primary list (but we still might). Out: Dawes, Dunn, Grimes, Jones, Newton, Terlich In: Hibberd, Lewis, McKenna, Pick 47, Pick 69, Pick 84 We've gotten rid of 6 player's no longer in the best 22 for 2 who definitely will be, 1 unknown (delistees were a known quantity, not adding up to much) and 3 speculatives. Overall, we have improved the quality of our list.

Maybe not yet 55, but Geelong need to trade for a first round pick in the 2017 or 2018 draft to meet first round pick requirements over a 4-year period. What happens if (hypothetically) all 17 teams refuse to trade a first round pick to them???

So he was. Must have skimmed over his name when reading our delistees.

Dunn, Grimes, M. Jones, out (officially) with Lewis, Hibberd and McKenna in. With the mandatory 3 selections onto the main list in the draft, we still need to cut 3 player's (minimum). Top of that list would be Dawes, Newton and Terlich.

How massively out of touch have the head honchos at the AFL become? Not only are they rewarding this years wooden spooner's with prime-time viewership (something they have said on multiple occasions needs to be earned through good performances), but they are also glorifying these drug cheats. What a fantastic message these halfwits are sending out to the many young fans who idolise this sport. Gil the Dill, more like Gil the imbecile.

It's a moot point now Angry, as the Eagles no longer have pick 48.

Clark was brought in at the end of 2011, a year before Dawes arrived.

AFL - Absolute Farce League

If we are going to rely on bringing in a back-up ruckman to support Gawn (which now clearly seems like it will be through the draft), then i'd want it to be a mature-age ruckman. Darcy Cameron would be at the top of my list, but doubt he will last until our first pick.

He says the Tiger's list and Hardwick is what convinced him to join the Tiges. FMD . Looks like he hasn't made any in-roads in his decision-making skills then Rev!

As it stands the Cats didn't have a 2015, 2016 and now 2017 first round draft pick. What if all other clubs simply refused to give the Cats another first round pick (no matter how good the offer)next year or in 2018? What would happen then?

Yep, AFL once again making it up on the fly. AFL spells professionalism 'J--O--K--E'
