    ST Kilda deserve all the luck they can get. a lucky bounce 50 years ago won them their first flag. an unlucky bounce a few years ago cruelly denied them their second. this time they strike it lucky. a win for the little guy.

    Meh. I can't stand them.

    I have found posts were posters on here were relieved when Darling wasn't picked, and were pleased with Cook, you want me to drag them out?

    Hindsight is one of the most powerful tools on here

    Uh uh, what has that got to do with my original post? I told you what I though at the time, what do the opinions of others in 2010 have to do with that? If I posted about that draft I guarantee it would say I wanted Lynch or Darling if he wasn't available.

    I also wanted us to draft Toumpas over Wines. No hindsight there either.

    In hindsight was that? Suggest you go back and look at some of the posts that were here, hypocrisy is raising it's head again in some of the posts re Cook

    Hindsight which part? I remember listening to the draft on SEN and I literally felt sick when his name was called out, partly because we missed out on Lynch by 1 pick and wanted Darling when we did. No hindsight there, don't try to tell me what I felt.

    The phantom drafts? no hindsight there, have a look at them, all rated Cook 2nd round or lower. It was a ridiculous pick by Prenderghast.

    Can anyone name one club that said they would have taken Cook in the first round? Most of the creditable draft watchers had him 25+. Terrible pick.

    He was a stab in the dark by a recruiter that didn't know which end of the knife to hold.

    I think there was some talk that North would take him with their first (late teens i think theirs was), but most mock drafts had him 20s-50s. I felt sick when his name was called out by us.

    Tom will be shortly, if he isn't already, a top 5 defender in the competition. We just have to find a way to sign him on a long term deal, minimum four years. If we have to delist Dawes and Lumumba and give Tom their salaries, we should just make it happen.

    Labumhaed got a 4 year deal on big money didn't he? We'd have to pay that ridiculous contract out.

    Referring back to OP - If I'm not wrong, Heaney missed a fair chunk of last year with an injury (sustained in the game against us, IIRC) that pretty much took him out of the rising star calculations.

     Cripps also had a broken leg in his first year IIRC
