BAMF

Moved onto import / exports didnt he?

I can't remember Colin ever being played as a key forward. Next year has been Sylvias best year for the past 8 years. Good to see that the tradition continues.

177cm 69kg. Very small

Jesus. That is bad.

I agree that we could have a better year than them. But when we beat them, it will be because our forwards and defence will be much better than theirs. Our midfield will be way off theirs. Gawn to be better than Minson? Please. If Gawn is better than Minson I will agree to buy you a carton of beer. (injuires aside)

I think you need to take the rose coloured glasses off. We are ahead of them with forwards and backs. Our midfield is nowhere near as good as theirs. Griffen is a star. Libba has had an amazing year and if continues on will be a star. Boyd is a solid A grader, Cooney showed this year that he can still turn it on and the injury hasnt slowed him down too much. Add their list of young mids coming through who have already shown a lot more than just promise. Compare it to our list which has Jones B+ (almost A) and then some good young potential. Vince will replace Sylvia's out put and then a little bit more. Cross is a great pick up. Tyson has played 13 games and hasnt had a good run yet. Michie has played 1 AFL game and has had a truckload of injuries. Gawn will have to double his output from last season to be anywhere near Minson. I remeber the game we played against the dogs this year where Gawn was doing a decent job of staying even with Minson. Then in the last quarter it looked like Gawn could have fallen over from exhaustion. Minson powered through, won the rucks with ease competing agaisnt both Fitzy and Gawn single handed, gave their midfield the easiest run I have seen from a ruck. They had a massive comeback and nearly pinched it. This is Minson strength, I have seen him lift multiple times in the last quarter while the other rucks tire.

Oh. Silly me. apologies demonoid and furious d. Had my Freeman blinkers on.

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-04/draft-combine-results Freeman finished top 10 in both 3k and beep test.

Tested in top 10 in 3k time trial. Maybe he drops off after this?

I thought Lennon looked the far better kick. He just had a lot more composure. Freeman semed to rush his kicks and kick to position rather than pick a player out. Totally depends on Lennons ability to learn how to play through the middle. I would be happy with either to be honest. I am basing this on highlights alone. I would love to know what they are both like defensively.

Yep. Just watched both Lennon and Freeman. Lennon would be my pick based on the vision only.

I would like a interstate team at the G. Port would be good. We will get a chance to test our selves against a decent team, and all demons suppoters will show up to see how the dees play. Therefore getting a decent crowd for an interstate team.

We are not in doubt.

Those stats are so close that you cannot use them to compliment your argument.

Speed? Seriously? Pace is ok. Certainly not a weapon.

We will be getting pick 9 back too. The deal is worth discussing. I would be a bit disappointed though.

Bugg is a quality player and we shouldn't be too quick to say no. Its Buntine I'm unsure of. The puntchured lung would explain it. He did play a bit of midfield before drafted

I've got mixed feelings. Bugg was one of the pre-listed players and has played some good football. Buntine was a high draft pick. Pick 5. But hasnt been selected too often. Not sure if he was injured. Both have been playing as defenders. Think Bugg may be able to push into the middle this year. I would be really happy to get pick 9 though. Means we still get a good pick and two players.

Worst case, he is injured all the time. The only thing we are giving up is a spot on our list. Wouldn't be the end of the world. Hope Mitch and Dawes can play this year though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCbuOn47wwo Highlights have been posted before but in this thread. but here they are again! A couple more on youtube if you are keen

Pick 54? Thats 4th round yeah? Nice!

Brisbane are big time losers out of that. They basically upgrade pick 8 to 2 but lose Polec and their early 2nd round pick. They would never consider it. Why wouldnt they just trade polec for a early 2nd round pick? Which is what looks likely if you believe the rumours

Considering we are not leaking info since Jackson came on board. And also considering that Geelong do not discuss trades until they are complete. And then consider that the trade proposed would not happen it 100 years. And finally considering Mr Clarke's previous history. I confirm. Jay Clarke made this up.

Ox was on radio earlier this week. He was confident that we would get him. Im sure its posted early in this thread.

I would be happy trading pick 2 for a player and another 1st round pick. It woulf need to be early enough to pick up freeman.
