If the selection were good or not!

Perfect sense to me dc. Agree 100% I don't even try and work it out, just see what we have at the end of the week.

I just lost interest.

Depends totally on how the player turns out. If he turns into another Farmer would that be a waste?

I was wondering that myself dd.

Very thoughtful this morning Wiseblood. Doesnt it just fall into if you don't like a thread or contributor don't read it? I am always amused that people don't like something but cannot leave it alone. oh joys of the human race!

Profiting from addiction D17. If we take away that gambling has been legalised by the government then it is no better than selling ice on the street.

He does not rattle my cage like a lot here. Perhaps it is just us?

Extremely good point.

I can take it or leave DC. Who am I kidding?

If only that were an option RM. I fear like most addiction it is now impossible.

Intriguing. Always amuses me this sort of statement. If you don't like a thread don't go on it! Appears fairly simple solution.

How tall is he?

Why are so sure we will go for Jackson? His draw backs for me are he is from WA so a better than average chance he will want to go home, If he is solely a Ruckman then he will probably take 4-5 years to be ready to Play seniors. I don't value Ruckman all that highly , the vast majority of GF winning teams in the last decade or so have been won by teams with average ruckman. How many times have we seen Gawn get a large number of hit outs to have 50+% of them sharked by the other team. If he is a genuine Ruckman / Forward who can score 20-30 goals PA then that may be a different story but I still don't like drafting Ruckman in the first round they are just not that important

Hope Bartel does not take his place. He gives a new meaning to bland.

Your last para says it all RN. At senior level first you have to able to get the ball. We have recruited a number of very good kicks in the last decade but they have mostly amounted to nil. Because they did not make it at senior level. The trick to recruiting under age players is to be able to judge who will progress at senior level. Recruit is imo a very inexact science.

Probably more effective there.

Too simple jnr.

Agree Pro, there are better fish to fry.

My 2 favourites are still. Don't get where the ball ain't. Stand still son the ball will eventually hit you.

I think your mistake BM is trying to justify your position. You are right just ignore the crits.

I want to hated like Hawthorn over the next decade.

KK was a steak knives deal, long shot who was injury prone. As he cannot stay on the park we will probably never see his real talent. Still injury prone and I doubt will be on the list in 2021. Sad but some people just don't have the bodies to cut it in the game of Aussie rules.

Very important maintaining Sanity Sue. After all it is only a game isn't it?

After 50 years of practise sue you would think they would be experts.
