This club is a joke

North will be getting pick 1

Mark Alvey and Mattew Lobbe is scraping the bottom of the barrel for 'mega deals'.

There have been rare cases of poor drafting - Lucas Cook for example

*shudders*

The biggest reach for 'needs' of all time. Thanks Barry P.

T. Greene looking good

Lets be honest, not surprising at all. Only reason why he was captain was the likes of McCartney and Goodwin who elevated him straight away. 

Now that the players have been given the opportunity to vote, this shows who they respect and look to as their leader. 

Never have rated Viney as a leader. I look at Lever, May and Gawn and they stand for everything you need in a leader. Commendable and respected. Viney is not that.

How is May everything you need in a leader? Rocked up to the club in disgraceful shape then went on the [censored] when he was injured. Not to mention he can't get on the park.

..

Sign him up anyway. Its a lot less risk than signing a cooked KK for 3 years on much more coin. He's unbelievably talented. 

Let's hope Hannan can regain fitness. If Pickett gets more than a token game or 2, we're in big trouble. He couldn't impact U18 games, how is he supposed to impact at AFL level in his first year. He will probably struggle in the VFL too.

I've always felt that we may well be giving him his superannuation,  on behalf of Gill and his mates.

One hand, washing 'the others'.

You do this for us, and we will do this in turn.

Waiting to see what we get in return then.

(apart from being robbed of pick 2 last year haha)

No. We mortgaged our future for Lever, May and Pickett, need to be pushing for a flag.

Hmm..let's see, I pick the one whose career wasn't over before he got here.

GC knew KK was finished and didnt offer him a contract, bizzare that we gave him a 3 year contract.

I prefer Hogan over May as Hogan actually provided good service to us and barely missed games (aside from 2014 and the last few weeks of 2018).

Hopefully May has a full season this year.

Definitely prefer what Hogan gave us over May, and at 28yo having never played a full season it's pretty unlikely he will unfortunately.

Can someone please post the 8 reasons, Haven’t got access to the Herald Sun!

Go to that SC facebook page and click the link from there, you'll get the full article. 2 of the reasons are our 18yo draftees and Bennell, so they're reaching for reasons lol.

Surely Pickett won't be in our best 22, he barely impacted games at U18 level, unlikely he will do much at AFL level in his first year you'd think. Let him get up to standard at Casey for a couple of years.

I'd love Jason Taylor to be picking my Tattslotto numbers because he knows who is going where before it is called......

Isn't it their job to know who's interested in which players? Every club knew exactly who we were taking with 3 and 10, and everyone knew about our interest in Rivers.

Speed- Langdon, Pickett, Tomlinson, possibly bennel 

Kicking- a whole team doing pre season helps, may elite, 

Forward- AVB, Tmac, Jackson, Pickett, possibly bennel, and a handful of others who either missed most of the year or didn't have a pre season.

Langdon cancels out frost speedwise, thought tomlinson was more an endurance runner than quick. 

Avb will be huge if he stays fit agreed, but a raw ruck and 67kg guy that barely gets a touch and rarely kicks goals at u18 lvl are unlikely to help our fwd line next year. Bennell will be a bonus if he gets in the park but we cant expect too much from him. 

Heres hoping for no injuries?

Not much if at all. None of speed, kicking skills or a nonexistent forward line have been addressed. Better hope for a blessed run with injury otherwise norf might be getting pick 1?

Massive reach, hed better be bloody good since weve given up a likely top 4 pick for him.

Unless we already realise that Preuss will be nothing more than handy depth.  This bloke has the capacity, with the right development, to be an absolute star.  

Good thing we only gave preuss a 4 year deal then.?

Rowell sounds depressed

So, a tiny small forward, even by small forward standards, who barely gets a touch and doesn't kick many goals? Surely we should just take the best available at 10 then get the best small forward at 28. 

Feels like Lucas Cook all over again. Massive reach. 

"Melbourne is expected to call out West Australian ruckman Luke Jackson’s name with Pick 3"

[censored] hope not.

We have no forward line, doubt this reject will help.
