Yep. Given him 150 games to come good. Hope the doggies keep playing him and he keeps spudding it up.
Not to mention that the Bulldogs are still paying most of Griffen's salary. I'm not sure how long that arrangement will last.
GWS also got three picks inside the top 7 as a result of deals done.
Hogan definitely looks the better prospect at this stage, which is impressive considering his time out last year.
Boyd bailing on GWS after one year shows that he is not the sort of person that you want to build your club around. The Brisbane Lions will probably chase Boyd in the offseason and Boyd will cite the need to get out of the AFL Melbourne bubble and relocate to a warmer climate.

Boyd will come good kid can play
Who do the dogs have to mentor and support him ? No one
Interesting one will be Patton i reckon, can he make it

Patton knees will be very worrying 103kg and already 2 knee recos at 22yrs of age.

Raise the draft age to 20. Kids are getting hammered physically before their bodies are ready.

As the CHF with MCarthy being the third tall
I think Patton will spend most his time being injured. Think he's gonna fizzle. Will probably still spend 10 yrs in the system though
Poor guy. Has all the talent in the world.

Except his body is stuffed
Not something I'm against at all, but the AFLPA and managers would work their arses off to block it.
It'd take a lot of reordering country-wide for where all 18yo's and 19yo's play footy until their eligible. Do they play state footy? Do state footy clubs add colt sides to take on those players?
Not impossible, but it'd take a huge amount of work. I like the idea of raising the draft age though.

He isn't the only one that has done an ACL....how many did Malceski do?

The answer to this (and it might also be the answer to the academies as well) would be to restore the under 19s and make it an under 21s

Won't be the first, if anything it is better to do it at 22

Its his second ACL already with his first season ruined by Patellar Tendinitis. So a knee injury in each of his first 3 years.
So not better at all, he'll be prone to injuries for the rest of his career

Sorry should have been more detailed, I meant in comparison to their views on the MRP after Lewis/Hodge hits.
Calling for 'cheap shots' to be removed from the game etc McVeigh should be an example and get 4 week etc.
I think McVeigh deserves prob 1 week maybe a fine, similar with mitchell.
