It'll be interesting to see if we do take the plunge on a key forward (Weideman) after everything Roos has said about drafting them early.

I love his work. Will be fantastic for us if he can keep fit.

A fellow Cubs fan, ripper! I've been thinking about the similarities between the Cubs and Dees lately, because there are plenty. Go Cubs go!

Alternatively, there was another phantom draft done at the time on bigfooty, and they were less than glowing about Toumpas at a time when a lot of "experts" were. You win some and you lose some, but if you're using Knightmare as a draft resource, you're gonna have a bad time.

10/10

You taught at St Pats?

Or when he was drafted by us, he got together every book on the club that he could find and read them all. Your average player doesn't do that.

I get the feeling Geelong are trying to keep their head above water. Proof will be in the pudding, but it could lead to disaster.

Pls.

Seems like he'd be my sort of bloke, Col. Stoked a great clubman will be a one club player.

It's a competition for a reason you [censored], harden the [censored] up.

Oh yeah, been waiting for this one! Love his work.

Our Ben McGlynn?

One of those players you can't dislike, even when he's tearing your side apart. Just sat there in awe when we played Freo this year.

The highlight - his instagram.

How about we don't go anointing future captains. We all know how well that has gone for us in the past.

I'm surprised I haven't read much about this on here. Outstanding, uplifting speech.

I will be genuinely baffled if Hogan doesn't win it. Maybe it's bias, but as Roosy said last night, no one has ever done what he did this year. Couple this with our inside 50 count for the year, and the delivery he was receiving as a whole and I don't really think there's a legitimate argument for Cripps over Hogan. I understand how good Cripps has been this year and I do not deny he'd deserve the award in any other season, but give me a spell, it's Hogan every day of the week.

Everybody loves Harmesy.

Ah, my hometown. Solid country pub.

On a serious note, one of the most pleasing things I've taken out of this year is how tight-knit our young core seems to be. There will be people on here who'd probably know more about it than I would, but by going off Instagram/Twitter the camaraderie, or sense of belonging, seems to be building nicely.

I think at this stage he's probably 4th on that list, pushing third.

Fixed. He needs to cool his jets if he's to fall to us.

This this is the fundamental issue tbh. If we had every one of our best players fit, we'd be competitive with most sides in the comp. But, unfortunately at this stage we have just about zero quality of depth in the list, meaning when someone goes down they're replaced with a Bail, Michie, Newton, Matt Jones etc.

Yeah, he's a big body, but I'm not sure how "raw" he is. From what I've seen, he is an outstanding contested mark and a very good, long kick of the ball. I haven't seen his field kicking too much to be fair, as most of his touches have been close to goal, however I honestly haven't seen him miss a target in open play. His hands at ground level are also outstanding, gets his arms free and is very clean. I don't think the query on him is his fundamental football skill. He is sound in that area. The question that hangs over his head going into the draft is whether or not he will be an accumulator at AFL level, because he hasn't played a heap of midfield over the past year, and I don't think he has the height to be a number 1 key forward in the big time.
