Curry & Beer

I just keep watching his highlights, looks very ready to line up in round 1 for my money.. very complete and physically mature player.. what were you thinking St.Kilda you muppets

If you don't appreciate mid-90s Kidman I'm afraid you might be a little 'light in the loafers' :D exceptional specimen

Probably because Scully seems like the type of bloke that has no mates

I could see them both getting the microphone right after the siren after being BOG in a win

It's very simple. If it was just a lottery than the right side would be just as good as the left, which it clearly isn't, by a long shot. If the logical part of your brain can't work with that, I have nothing more to say. nutbean I agree with your post completely, it does not actually contradict what I am saying though. Obviously development is a huge part of the equation but clearly the teams of recruiters working year round to result in the picked order has a very tangible impact also.

really? the list on the left carps all over the list on the right. That's because the draft is not a random lottery as you suggest. There are exceptions here and there but the overriding trend is indisputable. Got it now?

I can't abide these 'draft is a lottery' comments. Below is 2008/09/10 drafts, first round on the left, second on the right. As you can see the difference is massive in overall quality and strike rate

are you kidding? we got him about 20 picks after where all the experts said he would go

shocking post, even for you

It's a very easy game for the feeble-minded. Scan a list of any draft, pick any good player in the whole comp that was taken after any Melbourne pick and get cracking on the negativity What they don't seem to realise is that you go to the forum for 17 other clubs and do exactly the same thing

I heartily endorse this thread. Hopefully we can contain all the: to this thread - The Ollie Whinge thread

bout bloody time, they have been going around longer than Michael Tuck

in breaking news Dean Bailey has been sacked!

Jamar was with us for 7 years before becoming an All-Australian, only the last couple of those did he start showing anything at all - I know MJ's a ruckman, but still I don't think the jury should be in on CM yet. On the other hand there's a million McLeans, Millers, Bate and Newtons that got all the years they wanted and never delivered

I believe the expression is 'balls deep' gentlemen

I was going to post practically the exact same thing. I opened the article expecting the usual coach speak we are accustomed to.. when asked about Davey most coaches would say something like 'Aaron's very highly regarded at the club, and we know that he will get back to the performances we know he's capable of' but Neeld just gave the 'if he doesn't perform as expected he won't get a game' love it

THAT'S GOING STRAIGHT TO THE POOL ROOM!
