I think we did well with pick 2

You might want to look up 'culminated' in the dictionary

Oh hang on I thought it was us who couldn't develop players??

Only takes one unusual pick early to throw a grenade in the draft

Gee our fwds have a lot to learn about creating space...

And we 'recruited' him three times....FMD

Not me

Many thanks Bonkers

I'm saying our trade period could have been better had we traded for a bona fide star. We don't know who might have been available because Melbourne is was an undesirable destination. Let me put it another way. Had we been a Geelong or Coll wanting to trade a pick 2 we would have been attractive to a candidate like a Goddard last year. Being Melbourne our options were limited. So we might have been able to do better but realistically we did as well as we could have,

Hardly idiotic. Was well regarded. We/he were unlucky with his body.

We could have got a bona fide star but difficult as an undesired destination... And we need to rebuild faith in our playing group which I think we did by not trading out anyone. The dummies in the media are forgetting Hogan. Quite possibly better than anyone in this draft. If you take the media comment that Tyson would have been 1 or 2 in this draft I reckon we have 2 of the best 3 kids. And still a top 9 pick. Two players averaging over 20 possessions, Vince and Cross - we only had Jones that did that. All of a sudden our midfield can get the pill and the opposition can't. Need our ppl like Strauss, Blease, Tappy to really to a step fwd. McDonald to grow. Howe to become more than a one trick pony. Tyson, Clark and Dawes to get on the park and stay there. I still see rucking as a big issue for us. They must have faith in Jamar but I think he's past it. I'd give us a B+ or A-

Cam anyone tell me if Tyson is ready to do a full pre-season? Sorry but can't be bothered wading through a lot of irrelevant stuff on a wide range of disparate topics in the one thread....

Oh but he's a great leader.....

You're kidding? there is plenty still happening....

Hey I still boo Scott Thompson. Cam me immature but he still gives me the irrits

That is significant I think...

Scully lied to jimmy and to all of us, Simple really. He took the cash - great for him - but treated us like shiite in the process. As well he denigrated our culture with the "un-professional" stuff. he might think that but its poor form to publicly bag us.

Of course I give them some credit and am happy with what we have done.But my post was related to the one that said we have done enough lets not get too greedy, No we haven't done enough,. We can always do more...and should

He'll be a gun one day, Mark my words. Its only been 10 years. Give him time. FMD

Let me spell it out for you. We have a crap midfield. We have replaced Sylvia with Vince effectively. We are getting Cross who is 30 and has been delisted by another crap side We have Tyson who looks great but has never done a pre-season and has played 13 games. We have Michie who has played 1 game And you think we have done enough in this trade period. Lets not push it and get "too greedy" You aren't thinking too clearly are you?

Agreed

Rabbit in the headlights, poor disposal BUT has an engine, has heart, has some talent and COULD be a really good player for us. He's not alone in the rabbit department as the pressure on our backs has been unrelenting. I am really looking fwd to seeing how they go when the ball isn't being kicked in there every 4.87 seconds. Then we can probably assess how good our guys are.

Greedy? WTF?

Round 3?? Round 1 smashings not enough for you? Its usually half time in rd 1 for me.... The kids saying "Dad we still suck can we go home"

You are Jaded (but I agree with you)
