Listed at 190cm and turns 18 tomorrow. 

I wonder if he’s gone one more growth spurt in him… 4 or 5 more cm would be perfect.

 

Nah, 2cm would be the go

I'm happy with the yelling of IIIIIIIIITTTTTTT'SSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Moves real well, cant wait for the 194cm debate......

Oh, he's 194cm? Will never be a player. No thanks. Admins, please close the thread now.

Great point.

We can all agree on one thing though, it got him a pretty cool house.

I guarantee you that every one who takes the time to listen to an hour and a half Dees podcast will be going to the game.

I guess we could try to persuade them to bring family members along.

I can guarantee to you that that isn't the case.

If I was in Melbourne, you couldn't keep me away. Not being there, however, it is a bit of a strain on the wallet.
I really do appreciate the podcast though, guys, and being able to listen to some articulate insights into the Dees is very much welcome!

Neale is a big chance because no one takes votes away ftom him. 

A big reason behind me putting a sneaky $20 on Touk Miller

Loved Dunny, even amid the novelty free kicks he would give out trying to be the hard man. Always gave his all in a basketcase of a team. Good to see him enjoy the good times with the rest of us.

Isn't it nice to have a call where the commentary team aren't openly barracking against us?

I'm sure this has already been covered in other threads, but how good was that piece of play from May? Works Motlop out of the contest then lays the shepherd for Hunt to bang it long. Glorious stuff.

And then Pickett's spray to Newnes, just great stuff all around.

🤔  Not seeing Essendon on your list. 
 

Also, I wouldn’t be hating on Cripps. It’s not his fault. What’s he supposed to do, argue against himself? Who does that?! 

Agree, WCW. 

While he was the one on the field, his involvement in the circus that followed is literally zero. Hate Carlton, hate the AFL, hate the system that allows this rubbish, but the player who is literally viewed as a commodity by this system.........doesn't sit right with me.

2 factors that play together. Population density and distance. Russia is a huge country but also has a massive population (144 million) versus Australia (25 million) land area is roughly 17m vs 7m square meters. A little under 2 1/2 times the land area and nearly 6 times the population. Also there is virtually no one in the central and east part of the country.

 You can tell from this post how bored I am. This footy season can’t come soon enough. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

I've always felt that he hasn't been at his best due to a lot of injuries.  Being named a leader at such a young age is never a good thing and he continued coming back to early, not at a 100% and it's impacting his game.  We are lucky we didn't "Trengove" him and ruin him.

Agree that his injuries could have been managed a hell of a lot better, but there was really no other option with regards to leadership. He addressed the group after his first game, was always going to be taking some sort of role there.

I think it's to his credit that he's responded so well to the cutting back of his leadership role (and probably speaks volumes to how much better our off-field management is).

I don't have the Air Jurrah shirt, but I do have his signed St Pat's Day jersey, which I don't think he got the chance to wear.

I've got the Air Jurrah shirt I think, left it at my parents' place 5 years ago. I've also got Jack Fitzpatrick's (unworn) Irish themed jersey, which I still wear to games to this day.

If we ran a ladder from the 70's through to now I'm guessing we would be holding the thing up at the bottom.

Fairly sure Fitzroy would be propping us up...

A bid for Mead may knock us back a pick, but yeah we'll wind up around there. Got no currency to trade up either as we used it all up to get pick 8 already. Still plenty of decent prospects available so hoping we land one of Roberston, Bianco, Rivers, Sharp, Taylor, Williams.

Maginness will knock us back as well, so pick #32.

Still praying this is how it went down:

GWS want assurance from us we won't bid on Green before trading for pick 4. We say "ok we won't bid, but you gotta promise not to pick Young or Sydney's preferred player, and Sydney, you gotta promise not to pick Young or bid on Green." A trade of words if you will.

We then go to Freo who want to trade for 8 and say "alright we'll only do the trade if you promise not to pick Young or Carlton's player, and Carlton in return also can't pick Young".

Maybe we got Adelaide involved as well. And BAM Young gets to pick 10.... I can dream.

What, dream we get done for draft tampering?

Before it get's taken as lore, I was being facetious with my comment as every injury we had this year seemed to be 4 to 6 and then they almost never played again. 

Only this year? 

Nick "426" Smith would argue otherwise.

I've read a lot on here over the past few weeks. Looked at various highlights reels. Read various phantom drafts. I've realised I'm clueless.  In Taylor and team I trust. they know all the players like I don't. Going to be a fun draft night. Do they keep picks, do they trade picks, who do they pick. Do they gamble and win on some trades. Do they gamble and lose. We'll know in a week and an hour unless some picks swaps happen before Friday's deadline.

 

Agreed 100%.

I've found in the past, I've always been keen on the flashy mid/fwd player early, (Bontempelli, Stringer, etc.) but my favourite player is the hardworking back pocket/inside mid (Jetta, Viney, Oliver).

In Taylor we trust. That's why he gets paid via those huge novelty checks.

Leaving rookie spots open for Bennell and Brown confirms we''ll be taking a maximum of 3 picks to the draft to make a senior list of 38 players.

Shame we can't package up pick #97 and [insert scapegoat player here] for a 2nd-rounder.
