That article is certainly good news for the future and the ideas the coach has for the club. Our problem is our draft picks though as with no pick in 20s or 30s we are limiting ourselves to a very raw prospect that as many clubs have found will end in failure. With our picks Id be inclined to take 2...

A mid-term solution is wood or meesen. They have already got 2 years development ahead of any draftee we get this year. They still have a good 10 years ahead of them and didnt get opportunities mostly because of development and players such as charman and hudson. Even if we pick a player this year p...

Considering that Wood was a 1st round draft pick in a stronger draft and has been developed possibly. Meesen went at pick 8 a few years ago and as there is really only 20 top notch players 26 is a pretty good deal. After what we have gone through with ruckmen recently we have undervalued the role of...

I have stated from my first post on this topic that King was a bargain pick up. What seems to be confusing you and others is that there is actually a word called youth in AFL. I know you don't like hearing it as Matthew Clarke reminds you of the latest and greatest player to play for one year. Sure ...

Common sense?? Maybe you need to read into decisions a little harder fonz. For a club to state before trade week had even started that they were not interested in an upcoming prospect but were interested in an ageing player in our situation is absurd. I never said King was a waste of a draft pick, a...

King is certainly a positive recruit for the club. The club recognise a major flaw in the club and are actively pursuing players on the market. As with other people I find it distressing that the club is only looking at mature aged recruits and has blatantly ignored Cameron Wood and John Meesen. As ...

While this years draft has been knocked a fair bit by footy fans, it still has that top bunch of players that are a step ahead of the rest, like any other year. This draft has been scrutinized by many due to depth. In the last few drafts we have been lucky with the amount of depth, however, this yea...

long overdue... It was more a dictatorship than anything. This will go down in the list for mediocre coaches. No ground was made in 5 years and with the list we had a bum on the street would have done better. Constantly making excuses and ruining Riewoldts career. Playing riewoldt in the backline......

Im going to take a punt on The Sween Dog!
He wont play AFL straight away but could get a game midway through season. Wouldnt be suprised if he played some AFL early next year as he has the body.

Out of those players I would say mini and fiora.
Other than them I would say Gram and Leigh Fisher
2006 Wildcard Justin Sween Dog Sweeney!
