No amount of wins is worth 12 months of that Mo.

Fantastic article on Harrington. Gives an excellent rundown on our plan and has left me feeling very confident about our future.

That thread is the most rediculous thing I have ever seen.... Collingwood won't make a Grandfinal in 2014.

What abour Green? Explain yourselves!!

I want to hear from 9 people who left Green out, or the 5 who left Davey out.

But then there are plenty of black pots on here. A ban is not entirely useless, especially with a big fine for breaking it. I wouldn't risk a big fine just to go to the footy, but then I spose I don't go around bashing people for no good reason either. Sentences too light for me.

I think that's the point. I wouldn't have bought them if it was a good design.

I wonder how he might go without McLean there. They were good friends and I always imagined McLean to be a positive influence on him despite his indescretions. He might be better out of Mcleans Shadow, could go either way.

I think if it was the 2008 draft I would do that deal. Naitanui for Vickery & Ziebel. But this draft there seems to be two guns and 70 odd duds. Fine by me.

Tapscott - Chunk Gawn - Sloth

I'm sure my friends won't, they're Essendon and Carlton supporters. May I recommend everyone buy some and send them to your friends/family who don't support the Dees, then get offended when they choose not to put it up with the rest of the cards. 10 for $14.95 and 20 for $14.95 Go on, you know you want to

Indeed

HUN says: is tall, can run And aparently we can add Grimes to our list of rucks as well!! Must have had one hell of a growth spurt.

Tapscott 4:20, can't wait to see him play.

Jordie was great value where we got him. I have kept my eye on him at casey a few times and I was very impressed by his continual growth as a player. Can kick too, i'm not surprised to hear this.

I'm mostly happy with the result, it seems to me that we have stuck to a few tried and tested drafting theories. Outside of the first two picks, which would have been the same from any recruiter. Pick players who can kick, Emma quayle said Tapscott was possibly the best kick in the draft, Gysberts was second in Buckley's kicking drill. A hawks policy from a couple of years back. Leave Ruckmen for late speculative picks. Dean Cox and John Meesen are the poster boys for this theory, for different reasons. Pick players who have a long history of performing, not just 1 good year. See WJ's post. Hard to make a call on character yet, but there is a hint of a no D***head policy when we avoided Taylor/Thorpe. I don't mean to say that Taylor is one, but I think it would be fair to say that he is a bigger risk than most.

Very poorly presented, but overall I appreciate the attempt of trying to make it more of an event, as it deserves to be. Last year we had to crowd around a computer to watch it, only to have it fail on us so it's better than that.

I wonder if he would actually follow through with that if someone picked him up. Astonishingly stupid if he did.

In which case it is possible to tamper with the draft.

Emma Quayle in her best 25 players rated Burgan's phantom draft picks as: Tom Scully 2 Jack Trengove 1 Daniel Talia 13 Max Gawn N/A (but was in Shifter's top 30) Troy Taylor 15 Liam Patrick N/A

These things take time, and why would I when I would just be derided by you for doing so. Wait but I thought you said there is no point looking to the past drafts? Because it's like tattslotto or something, and now you're saying recruitment has got better (sounds like a trend to me) and then you go naming previously drafted players. You've lost the plot!

Based on Hype and media exposure it would appear we would do pretty well out of that result. Not that hype and media exposure is worth anything.

Is Gawn really 208cm?
