Already taken at pick 176 mate

I think it is not plain, manifest, clear, palpable or unmistakable that Scully has decided to leave if he hasnt signed by round one.

You dont need to point out the obvious nutbean.

MFCSS

To the max. Could be one of those rumoured life threatening cases

Any such exchange of picks like that would lead to a rather large investigation into draft tampering I would assume.

Accepting that there is one grain of truth in the "Richmond are a real worry" theory, I have a question - the only guarantee that an out of contract Scully has is that he can go to GWS as they will have first selections. If we cant negotiate then he ( or any player)can nominate for the ND or PSD - GWS first grab at him.

My question is as follows - can GWS draft someone in the ND or PSD and then do a deal with another club and pass the player on ?

Sheedy's comment that he will help other clubs get what they want if it helps their cause - how does that work ?

( for the record - I dont share the concern that Tom will leave - not to say we should not be vigilant, and knowing the FD will leave no stone unturned, history shows that besides the "go home factor" VERY FEW footballers move to another club after two seasons)

Safe bet that the response to your reasonable questions will go as follows...

If I told you the answer to that I would have to shot you. So sorry you will never get the answer from me.

If you want an opinion on everything sorry I'm the wrong poster to read. They are far better qualified than me around here... so if I was you, I would just listen to all those wise posters saying - "she will be right mate, we have no worries, this team or that team are no threat"

the dees play melbourne round 2...who's bruce going to line up on?

Bit early for you disco?

I reckon mine have yours covered.

My forward line would rip your backs to shreds e!

I am sure we all think our team is the best. Its the nature of the beast.

Well done ox_5.

Thankyou thankyou. Happy with that 18. Give them the flag now.

how can i when you repeated it in your reply

anyway i have scottish blood

Wrong quote Daisy. Im with you, cant see why it would need an edit.

S. Thompson...

Solid, but unspectacular. I'm not overly impressed but he seems to get the job done.

Reminds me of Chopper Carrol for some reason.

Yeah, solid is all I need for a back pocket. Can play on talls and smalls. Like you said, gets the job done. And has a bit of [censored] about him, which is always good for a back pocket.

It was him or Firrito...

Cornelius has potential but he's a long way off.

I don't rate him yet.

Clark was close to All-Australian in 2009 (or did he get it? Can't remember).

Nah he didnt get it I dont think. Sandilands of course. Think they only went with the 1 ruckman.

Pick 172 - Scott Thompson (North)

B: J.Gibson (Haw), C.Tarrant (Coll), S.Thompson (Nth)

HB: J.Winderlich (Ess), H.Taylor (Gee), C.Enright (Gee)

C: S.Black (Bris), D.Kerr (WC), D.Pearce (Port)

HF: S.Higgins (WB), N.Riewoldt (Stk), J.Porplyzia (Adel)

F: L.Jurrah (Melb), J.Riewoldt (Rich), L.Jetta (Syd)

R: R.Warnock (Carl), M.Barlow (Freo), M.Rischitelli (GC)

Edit - adding initial and team

Thought you were going to go with Cornelius. Clark isnt bad for this late.

I almost took Fyfe instead of Palmer.

I really like the kid as a medium forward.

He will become a very good player. Smart footballer.

think you might need to edit this.

Why? Besides extreme political correctness of course?

Pick 169 - Lewis Jetta (Sydney)

B: Tarrant, Gibson

HB: Winderlich, Taylor, Enright

C: Rischitelli, Black, Pearce

HF: Higgins, N.Riewoldt, Porplyzia

F: Jurrah, J. Riewoldt, Lewis Jetta

R: Warnock, Barlow, Kerr

The likes of Sylvia and Davey in excellent form will lurk around the 12-15 vote mark IMO, which obviously won't cut the mustard.

Sylvia and Davey both polled 10 votes this year, in a team winning less than half their games. When we start winning and if these guys, Sylvia especially, can stay consistent, they will be pushing the 20 mark. Sylvia especially IMO, as he has the ability to play game breaking games.

This post is why you are struggling with posters 'mis-quoting' you, HO007.

They are all trying to interpret what the hell you are going on about...

It's very difficult to paraphrase crazy.

Ha! That old reply to a very simple question from me. And there still isn't an answer.

I remember scratching my head after reading that, and my response was all I could come up with. And still is.

My bad, copy and pasted from an old list without reading haha

Sure sure! I'll believe you this once! Haha

Pick 157 - Cale Hooker - Essendon

B O'Brien Glass Hooker

HB Grimes Moore Birchall

C Montagna McVeigh Cassisi

HF Harvey Brown Varcoe

F Tippett

R Sandilands Boyd Sewell

When did you pick O'Brien??? Should read Maxwell I think

Aaron Davey isn't hard enough at contests to captain a hard nosed AFL side - which no doubt this team aspires to be.

It will be a mistake if he's made captain.

I agree. He also gets rattled far too easily still by opposition attention.

It is very interesting reading different reports of training and seeing some conflicting observations of how people trained, their effort level, their motivation of other players etc.

ithink Bartel will be the marquee player they have signed , or selwood

Selwood isn't out of contract. I keep hearing Dane Swan from different circles.

Good call.

Seems my timing was good with Cunnington too.

After Hansen he was the only one I wanted.

( I guess I could have squeezed Swallow into my midfield...)

I wouldn't have minded Brady Rawlings but was never interested in the price I would have had to pay to get him. I still havn't got my Roo, but after the first top few they are much of a muchness.

Pick 152 - Daniel Kerr (West Coast)

B: Tarrant, Gibson

HB: Winderlich, Taylor, Enright

C: Rischitelli, Black, Pearce

HF: Higgins, N.Riewoldt, Porplyzia

F: J.Riewoldt, Jurrah

R: Warnock, Barlow, Kerr

Cunnington was one of my to be considered for this pick. Not much left at Eagles, and I dont have much confidence in Daniel to stay injury free. However, full of class and footy smarts are top notch. Need to take a balanced approach through pre-season and look after his body. If we can do that, he will be a valuable contributor.
