It's a trend I've noticed too.
People often dismiss "Bigfooty group think," but there have been plenty times in which the player fans were calling for would have made a great choice.
So seriously...this Doobee fella we blew a pick on..

Just another good falcons boy the feeder club will develop until he's a free agent. Cheers guys.
We can do another TRADE for a "free agent" again in about 8 years. Well played sir

I understand that Adelaide like the kid and he has huge potential but hey, they could have had him way later in the draft.
I mean rather than use the early pick they could have, you know used their last selection in the draft to grab him.........
That's the pick you use for speculative picks.

Hmmm maybe . Maybe not
We didn't have a later pick. I think simon black went in the 30's in his draft, if he had gone at 10 people would have questioned it. If a club sees something in a player then whatever selection they use is correct. Thse people get paid to watch these guys for years so they would know what they are doing.

My point exactly. Adelaide had him pencilled in for their last selection. Exactly where they got him.

When did Dangerfield say that?
This kid wanted a scholarship to play basketball in America, so he probably wouldn't have an issue with moving away from home.
So hands off our Doodle.
But don't worry, I'm sure Wylie Buzza and Matthew Hayball will be fine additions to Geelong's VFL side.

Dangerfield said it was great to get out of Geelong? The team he supported as a kid, where he grew up, where his family lives and ended up being homesick from?

Hes petty media savvy, would have said all kinds of lovely things about Adelaide when they drafted him, it's what players do
He's got a point - Adelaide can get them, they just can't keep them...

I'm just surprised that if they'd made up their mind that's who they wanted that they didn't move down the draft and pick up an extra pick next year. 13 for a mid 20s and an unknown 2nd rounder next year, pick up the guy they want and they're quids in next year.

All I can think of is examples of Bigfooty hype players who turned out to be remarkably bad.

Search the Collingwood board for the thread on pick 5 in the 2005 AFL draft...
Threads like this are just pathetic, IMO.

They technically did. 2 live picks (Milera + this guy) + rookie upgrade.
Christian Howard at the Dogs comes to mind. Was a huge reach (compared to expectations pre-draft anyway) and never amounted to anything. Some are Pendleburys, some are Howards.

Yeah sounds legit...
Medium defender including representing Vic. Country at the U18 Championships in 2015.
Dominant junior forward in 2014 when played forward early in the season and dominant junior defender in 2014 when played back late in the season...
Only converted from basket ball to football in 2013.
So he plays well back and dominates forward and Ogilvie and co expect him to develop into a midfielder....Hmmmmm!
