Oh come off it! As if YOU know anything more than the rest of us! I think you are completely deluding yourself if you think the club was expecting this to happen, they had no idea I reckon.

oh ffs

he got tackled and bounced straight up to receive a free kick ruined his career apparently

might be the best tackle I've ever seen

oh in that case i take it back magnificent video

You weren't enamored by the way it started? Maverick Weller kicking a goal against us while a creepy fat man is superimposed in the foreground.

except that Hogan ended up being the clear no.1 source of enjoyment/excitement.. so the anticipation wasn't really misplaced

Collingwood's first pick was #32! No chance they were ever getting anywhere near the Weed

are you saying this hasn't been demonstrated by Brayshaw, Salem, Hogan, Viney and Tyson? and to a lesser extent Harmes, Kent, Stretch and ANB?

OK, this is about the 10th time in the last day I have read somebody use the example of Jimmy Toumpas to nullify any point that is being made about young guns and the draft. We all KNOW for a fact that the top 10 of the draft yields the most AFL superstars. It just does. SOME of them are complete duds like Toumpas and Morton etc BUT it is more LIKELY that a top10 pick will end up being good. The existence of Jimmy Toumpas has precisely ZERO to do with Clayton Oliver.

and Jack Trengove re-debuting

They don't know where he's going, and even if they do, they can't impede him enough to stop him doing what he was going to do in the first place. Love it.

one of the things about Jack Viney that had him rated as a top5-10 pick (lucky we get a nice 20 pick discount there) was that bloodlust at the contest. Some worried (and it was fair enough) that this point of difference might not translate into a weapon at AFL level. Lo and behold, it translated like hell and you could generally claim that JV is one of the hardest bodies around the ball already, and it's precisely what makes him such an asset. I expect the same for Oliver.

life ban please

not exactly glowing

good call

hair of the dog that bit us

Seems pretty simple doesn't it? Tall bloke with good hands and a straight set shot. Plonk him inside 50 and you pretty much can't go wrong. That's a sincere comment BTW

would have been gone, dons were taking whoever we didn't take out of Clayton and Parish IMO

please let me fix it for you so his head isn't cropped out

I like to think he is a super-jordie tough

and Jones, Vince and Brayshaw eat it

Yep. Unlike when we got Morton, Watts, Scully and Trengove, our team has plenty of spotlight-grabbers like Hogan, Viney and Brayshaw and these new guys get to just work they way into it like what happens at proper clubs.

Love it. He's just got that maniacal attack on the pill and the man and he's a solid unmovable object. It's looking like when you come against him, Jones, Viney, Petracca, Brayshaw and Vandenberg in the middle.. you are going to feel it, and the phrase 'bruise-free footy' will be just a memory

if it ain't broke
