i dont care what anyone says. getting rid of 2.3 mill of our debt is a really good effort.
i say we get upto 2.5mill and then place it all on red on a crown roulette table, then it will double to 5mill and then goodbye to our debt!
Well he is lightning quick for a guy his size so with afl standard delivery he should go okay. Contested marking has almost disappeared out of todays game anyway.
so i was wrong about pickett being the wrong decision?
was i also wrong about trading yze when he had trade value?
or saying that bell was not in our 22
or being the first to suggest that daniher wasn't going to get a new contract?
people can disagree with the other stuff i say. For example, some demonlanders may think Miller will still be an AA CHF etc..but no1 can disagree with you Rhino coz u never say anything. sadly you do not have your own opinion on anything.
just like when melbourne decided to pick up pickett. i said at the time 'whats the point'...if ur not going in with a chance of winning the flag than trading away draft picks for recycled players is idiotic.
At the end of the day Hawkins hasnt been able to crack into the Geelong team..and of course its Geelong but someone like Franklin and even roughead would have made a starting 18 position in their line up. No thanks. I dont think we should take Watts anyway. Naitanui or Rich for more. Watts has no aggression
if a good draft pick was offerred for Brad Green we should take it. Its all about the premiership window..by the time we get into the window Green will be past his best anyway, so Green will offer us next to nothing in terms of winning our next premiership.
Hey guys: Here are some clips on youtube of some players who might be around for our 2nd pick(& priority):
Lewis Johnston -
Steele Sidebottom -
Nick Heyne -
Rhys O'Keeffe -
Nick Suban -
(a left- footed clone of Dane Swan?)
Mitch Robinson -
I think stef martin and adam maric were our only positives. whelan and mcdonald showed why people on here are stupid and that they did in fact deserve another contract.
Bate also showed that he was his fumbly self
Jones tried to do too much like always
Morton kicking into the man on the mark was typical..i could see it coming from a mile away.
and
Dunn gave away pointless and idiotic free kicks
game to forget
when i was watching last night i was thinking I cant wait until petterd comes in. a youngster that actually has some skill. Throw in Mclean and Grimes next year and its a big improvement. But yay, Maric is going to be a player and he has great skills.
Watts has already stated publicly that he doesnt want to leave victoria. Consequently, he will nominate..unless of course melbourne tell him that we don't want him.
scarlett 95kg, harley 95kg, Hunt 100kg, Mackie 84kg, Taylor 91kg. Egan 101kg = Av 94kg
Garland 85kg, Martin 97kg, Warnock 93kg, C Johnson 87kg, Whelan 84kg, Wheately 87kg = Av 88kg
Thats the difference between a top backline and ours. We need to get some serious kilograms on to our backmen. THat is atleast 2 pre-seasons worth.
i think the picks will roughly be these. This is what I want ideally but at the end of the day i'd rather a quality player (any position) over an average player that fills a need. But anyway:
pick 2- watts
pick 18- midfielder (best available)
pick 20- midfielder (best available)
pick 36- key forward
pick 52-key backman
Yeh Dalziell is eligible and I think he will get nominated this week. Morton's disposals were sub-afl standard in the first half...especially the kick from 35m that went out on the full. Other than that, a good game.
