A guy I know's son is a mate of Burtons and he reckons he's never going to be right after that broken leg.
Said he can't run properly still at this point, over a year later.

They'll get Charlie on the cheap when he discovers the Barossa. It will help with his sleep patterns.

The medical wasn't great either. Will be very limited in his first 2 years. Doubtful to play on hard surfaces.

How do you know his medical wasn't great? Because we didn't draft him??
will be in strife if he aggravates further, eg if someone falls across his leg or he hyper-extends it could re flare v easily
it's really cruel so I hope he goes well but not as well as doedee

When talking about who he would take at pick 1 Ogilvie said "if you put the 5 of us in a room and took a poll, you would probably get 3 who say Weitering and 2 who say Schache". So there must be 5 full time.

I reckon they're hoping for Ben hart MK II - great agility, great overhead, one on one beast, 6'2".
My fear is there is only one Ben hart.

A reliable source. Not from SA or the AFC either.
It wasn't career ending but it's going to be a tough road back.

I think most people are putting 2 & 2 together, before the draft, Ogilvie said they got a medical report on Friday that changed the order of their list of preferred players. When I heard it, I thought it meant we had received good report for him and will take him, we didn't so there's a good chance the medical report they got was for Burton and it wasn't favourable.

Medical reports, along with interviews are another thing that phantom draft 'experts' don't have.

I didn't think that he looked too happy at the draft, and that was before it started.
Strangely im starting to expect it from Lever. Kid is a gun.

Yesterday, didn't you say we desperately needed Rendell back?
Did you post this information prior to the draft?
Good work from all of them but what would menzel tell him? You'll love it down there, they are just the best bunch of blokes!

Not crying at all. Just pointing out that you're talking out your arse about a player you've never seen
Could be something simple like "I'm new at the club too, but I'm from Adelaide, so if you're looking for someone to hang with and show you around just let me know."
ha ha ha yeah ok.

Even then, you could sense Menzel's enthusiasm if he's calling/tweeting to both the new draftees. Sounds good to me even if he just got here.
