I reckon the only bloke in Australia that would've picked Paddy at number 1 is Trout & he convinced the club to pick him & overlook the clear best talent in the draft - Pettraca. Not Paddy's fault but Trout is lucky to hold his job.
Certainly doesn't look like an inspired decision

Guys, have a look at the photo of Billings and Dunstan earlier this week at the children's hospital. Even though he's 22 I think, he still looks like a naive schoolboy. We have to hope like hell that he is a late developer, otherwise we will be stuck with a boy that's never going to become 'man enough' to make it at AFL level

McCartin is a midget compared to Patton.


The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

But I need validation from you.... you're simply that important!

Question
You really have strong feelings about an anonymous person, you know nothing about... other than he's disappointed in the current output of a young key forward (and Billings whom you don't mention?)

You need to consider that... me, I don't care what you think, and really what you say
I'll debate it, because it's easy... but it doesn't bother me..

You are irrelevant to me
Mart, Stonecold. Last warning. Any further tit for tat blah blah from either of you towards the other in any thread at all will draw a warning. Under forum rules this is now an ongoing dispute. It's boring as bat s*** and clogging up multiple threads. Every post with tit for tat = 1 warning. 3 warnings = 2 weeks holiday.

The point is JP has done two acls....& has come out the end very well. As a junior & as a player & despite missing two years of footy he is far superior to Paddy.

Emma Quayle sat in on all our draft meetings and wrote this in her book.

I think they overestimated McCartin.

Bloody hell there were plenty of red flags from the get go. Skinfolds, endurance, athletic ability, the diabetes, etc. Trout sold the club a lemon.

Hell yes. Reading that article just makes me groan.

""What have we decided about the diabetes?" asked the coach.

"We've done a lot of work in that regard," said Elshaug. "In some ways it's been a positive for him. It's got him organised, it's helped him form some resilience, it's kept him on his toes and it put up a hurdle that he's been able to overcome."

A positive for him..... really??? Talk about rose coloured glasses.

And we're still talking about him being overweight two and a half years later.

Noticed Robbo's article also went with "coulda had Petracca and Bont....."

St Byron

He keeps asking me questions, I just respond?

Please point out any inappropriate language, abuse, or threats?

Has there been complaints, or is it just boring for you?? Not sure if you can abuse your position and make personal calls like that? BFUSAvp told me mods only act upon reported posts and assess if rules were broken??
Otherwise you could just act on posts you personally don't like
Perhaps delete posts???

Whilst I do agree SC continually baits me, if he questions me, sure I can respond or am allowed to defend my position??

If he fires something at me, like he did in another thread... I will reply.

Early call, but I think Paddy will only get 4 -5 games this year, he will just tread water.
Preseason is where they all seem to set up for the year, and he's showed nothing.

He's actually worse than last year. IMHO

I am on BM's side here.

Stonecold gets excited by attacking certain folks like BM who have different opinions.
And SC behaves like a 12 year-old in his silly excited ramblings.

Students of journalism need to study these stunning insights from Slobbo to learn what's required of an award-winning sports journo:


But he is No.1. And the Saints took him ahead of Petracca.

And the Saints took Jack Billings (No.3) ahead of Marcus Bontempelli (No.4) in the 2013 national draft.

And if we wanted to be blunt, the Saints have McCartin and Billings when they could’ve had Bontempelli and Petracca.

The move from unders to senior football is akin to walking normally through airports and walking on moving walkways at airports.

Back to the draft, and this is not helpful for the Saints or McCartin, but already questions are being asked about McCartin ahead of Petracca.

Anyhow, history tells us gun key forwards are secured with early draft picks and that with Billings taken the year before, it was wise to go with McCartin with pick No.1.

The other argument is the Saints got it wrong.

The pressure grows as does the impatience, and if they continue to grow, so will the argument about McCartin v Petracca.

As always, time will tell who is the winner

Ran Carlton around in the pre season games taking over ten marks so what you you posted is not true.
