Opposition midfielders would see him running up to them before the bounce and be like 'oh no, please God, not this little bastard' and don't we love him for it

we beat GWS by 78 in r13, 2012 but if that doesnt count its dockers by 89 points, R13, 2011

you missed one nasher

Well at least Hogan broke this one today

If Jesse plays every game at 2.6 per game he will hit that 50, which would be a magic feat for a first year player in a below average side He'll need us to slaughter a couple of sides so he can get a couple of bags

well no, that's more than 2 years also.. as posted

why did you ignore my additions nobody kicking a bag of 6 for 157 games straight is as big as any of them says everything really

can't remember, I don't think he was all that popular even after this game

got another one for you: last time someone kicked a bag of 5 or more rd 20, 2012 (sam blease, 5 goals vs st kilda at the MCG) 50 game streak edit last time someone kicked a bag of 6 or more rd 22, 2007 (russell robertson, 6 goals vs carlton at the MCG) 157 game streak

making a recruiting decision that favours immediate results before a greater longterm output is as stupid and unrealistic as SWYL's 'best buddies' approach

SWYL's recruiting masterclass - always establish whether prospect has 'mates' at the club - pay close attention to articles talking about where prospect would 'love' to go - enquire to prospect's accomodation - prospect's star sign

It certainly was simple alright

again, that is an absurd thing to take into consideration.. surely that is obvious. Do you happen to remember the 'mates' recruitment of Tapscott and Blease, that really panned out well didn't it?

So you're suggesting that Jack Viney himself weighs in with his opinion on whether we should draft his mate, and THAT is how we should run our recruiting department? Don't leave to the decisions to the qualified professionals, ask the other draftees what they reckon FMD

SO EFFING WHAT do you seriously think that is how we should be recruiting players, based on who they are mates with? FCS that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard

Exactly Trengove is a good example for injury reasons. Cale Morton was highly rated in his first 2 years but never came on. Taking a pretty big risk just assuming a kid is going to be an a-lister his whole career

Yep just like everyone else in the competition, Judd, Franklin, Ablett, Goddard etc.. not taking the money and switching clubs via FA.. what dreamworld do you live in

There are 10 good reasons why anyone who thinks/says 'we should have picked Wines over Toumpas' is just plain wrong and stupid. I've been through it too many times though

She's

My point also. I never mentioned Trengove/Grimes I am talking about just days ago when Roos + Co. opted NOT to put any young guns like Tyson/Viney/MCDonald in the LG For some reason some cant work out it is exactly the same as Port putting Wines in.

Tyson is better than him and Viney nearly as good

That's not quite the difference - we could have done this exact thing recently with Dom Tyson and/or Viney, we didn't, and everyone said it was a good move not to place unnecessary burden on our kids so if you WANT to, you can look at it like Port are making a mistake that we are wise enough to avoid or if you WANT to, you can beat yourself up some more over a stupid Toumpas-based discussion that is just wrong in ten different ways

I thought we were in general agreement that giving leadership positions to kids is a strategy fraught with error, one that we have learned the hard way and have now opted to stay away from

no he wouldn't have and had this happened 11 years ago, posters would have said the exact same things in his defense every high draft pick is a superstar until we find out otherwise

Brayshaw says 'AKKA' not 'ARKER' think he's wrong though
