Dead wood? Comparing Thompson, Hay and Rawlings to Koschitzke and Clarke? Agreed. Hawthorn did this to bottom out, They spent the next couple of years at the bottom of the ladder. however it helped them get the likes of Franklin, Lewis etc. With the changes to the priority draft pick rule as well a...

the collingwood rumour is fantastic if true. Yes .......but it probably isn't AND a 3rd rounder would be BETTER THEN WHAT HE HAS GIVEN I said 3rd rounder as a minimum. My point is clubs this year are unwilling to trade draft picks. There have been numerous articles in papers saying how players valu...

ESSPICALLY X when was the last time he has put 10 games in a row? Last year actually.....rounds 12 thru 22 (18 games for the year) I agree with your sentiment but I don't think we will really get that much in return for him. Considering most teams are not trading their early picks I think a 3rd rou...

ROK may be 28 years old (next year) but he is a quality player, and the type of player that we desperately need if we think we are going to have a crack at a premiership in the next 3 years. We have got tall marking forwards in Roo and Kosi, smaller guys like Schnieder and Milne. What we have been m...

No thanks. All we would be getting is another Charlie Gardiner, Good for 1 goal per game. We would be much better off picking up a young forward in the draft.

It is interesting that Brook's name is mentioned - and he was obtained following on the loss of Everitt. He showed good potential whilst being nursed through his first couple of games, rucking with Maguire and getting fuller on-field time by playing some VFL games - where he seriously did a knee ta...

Didak will end up with an Adelaide based club should the right deal be offered, mark my words. The pies are poor traders generally , what do you imagine they would seek from the crows? and on another level, what will they get? lol. Chris Knights is a victorian? handy player, he and a draft pick per...

Steven King's unrewarded work was sublime. I also saw Mini and Clinton Jones keeping on going well after others had packed up and gone home. Spot on! Can't believe there isn't a seperate thread on McQualters Efforts. He's come back from the dead to be integral. Has kicked Baker out of a job almost....

Does anyone remember that shepard he put on Lance Franklin a couple years ago. He absolutely floored Buddy and then leant over him and shared a few choice words before running back into the play.

thanks for the comments. I'll try and make the effort to post more stuff on youtube for future games

Did i mention I'm lazy....

for those who missed it...

I must have been pretty inspired by the big win last night because it has motivated my usually lazy self to muck around on the computer for a few hours and put some highlights of the 2nd half onto youtube. So enjoy..... 2nd half highlights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wyxnVndKpE CJs brilliant tac...

After watching Ben on the footy show last night I am now even more convinced that we shouldnt have him on our list. Upon being asked the question "Why would an AFL club want to draft you?"

His reply- "the real question is why wouldn't they!!!!"

When we drafted him, a big deal was made of his love for carlton. I was very concerned that he may request a trade to Carlton after 2 years. Now i think he is one of the players that is the most passionate for the red white and black....go BJ

Both are at there best in motion...... Good post, I reckon its worth a go!!!! I do recall that Riewoldt was put onto the wing a number of times and fared allright. Also Kosi's run of 4 super games in a row a couple of seasons ago occured when he played more as a floating player rather than a true f...

great topic!!!!
- I'm a huge simpsons fan, and i am Indian

You mentioned father and son picks a number of times.......Therefore it must be Geelong?

Agree 100% - I will be very dissapointed if he gets dropped

Wasn't too bad I thought, Yes he missed every shot at goal, but his contested grabs were very impressive. He reminded me of Brett Voss in the way he held on to some of those marks under alot of pressure from the defender. Definitely deserves another crack next week!!! Incidentally I was at the game ...

Forgot 2006-7-8 Murphy-Gibbs-Kruzer ????? Did you read the first line? I clearly stated that I was comparing the period that YOU mentioned in YOUR original Post. I'm just stating the facts as a comparison. But obviously you've got an agenda to prove :roll: BTW I forgot to include 1997 - Kris Massie

Carltons 1st round picks over that period (98 to 05) weren't too flash: 1998 - Murray Vance 1999 - traded pick (for Justin Murphy) 2000 - Luke Livingston, Trent Sporn 2001 - traded pick (Corey McKernan) 2002 - traded pick (Barnaby French) 2003 - Andrew Walker 2004 - Jordan Russell 2005 - Marc Murphy...

Kerr is definitley half Indian. Theres not many of us indians playing, so we need all all the credit we can get!!!

BTW here is a great wikipedia page that lists players by their ethnicity

Please post a better example. How about just above where RogerFox is quoting MB?? and a large bunch of mercenary rejects from other clubs (count them: Birss, Gardi, M Clarke, Schneider, C Gardiner, Dempster and King Well considering that the basis of of your argument is that other threads are creat...

I dont think anyone is criticising Lyons drafting, just his gameplan. Perhaps you can point out the threads that are doing so? !!! Well one that comes to mind... http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41753&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=trading&start=25 There have b...

Whilst iam am not huge a GT fan due to his recent behaviour in sueing the club, comments regarding harvey etc. However I get the feeling that some people have a genuine agenda against him which is the cause of numerous threads raised about him even a year and a half after he has gone. I dont think a...
