I'm sure if you applied the 'schoolyard' test and lined them up against a wall Selwood would be picked before Jones......

Policing this is impossible (unless a dumbass like Finnis goes public with it)

No they won't. The AFL own the 18 clubs.

How is that fair to Cotchin and Mitchell? We need to stop making allowances for cheats.

What is a huge shame is that Mitchell and Cotchin were denied their Brownlow. And the glory and financial rewards that would have come with that.. You simply can't let the cheats prosper.

Just because they are included in the TPP doesnt mean we have to actually pay out the money....

Maybe EFC indemnified us and have to pay his salary for the time off? You don't know what is in their contracts....

The Jack Watts greeting wasn't planned. It just happened that he ran on from the interchange and the ball was headed towards him. Coincidence really. Way too much has been made of this.

Colin Sylvia had OP........... .........for about 10 years................

Lets just hope Mitch Robinson is one of them next season...

Exactly my thoughts. Clearly didn't watch the highlights package. The guy is a beast.

Needs to fix that up big time...

Good pick up...

But we are supposedly looking for competetive players....so maybe he fits the bill.... Personally I am wary about the late bolter at the draft table... 6 months good form to win the Morrish is great but would want to ensure his pedigree from a long way back is good...

Oliver is a real bullock. Love his attack on the footy and the player. Good evasive skills, good amount of time and space. Its an impressive highlights reel. Doesn't seem to have the 'silk' factor which you probably want to see at a pick 3 but it seems you like you would get a bona fide inside mid workhorse in the mould of, say, a Dane Swan or Oliie Wines....

I always have to laugh at this comment. Best available now? or Best player in 2, 3 or 4 years? Every draft in retrospect is vastly different to the actual draft......

If he's like Heppell why would EFC be into him?

Nah they went more than 15m and didn't go backwards

We need competitive footballers with skills - tick We need runners - tick We need to improve on the players we delisted - tick Goodwin has intimate knowledge of this guy's ability. We need to back his assessment.

Its hard enough for clubs to pick talent at 17yo that will become AFL regulars. Its harder by some magnitude to do that at 16yo. Much greater drafting risk IMO

I think you'll find Salem said he wants to try and move into the midfield. A bit different...

You can only offer what you have so if 25 is marginal overs for JM then so be it. Its not like you can pick or choose to offer pick 31 if you don't have it. Sometimes you have to deal with what you have, BTW are we the first club ever to have done a trade deal with Essendon??

You're right about the first bit....

Who doesn't have them? A bit harsh. Your first comment about him being a superb kick of the ball was right.

Yeah, but he might get banned and what do we have to give up for him?
