Me. Project forward pocket.

Draft me. Project player though.

Slow burners according to Tef.

Do not want.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Sounds fine and wouldn't be the first time we've drafted your type . Me I'd rather a 150kg Maori with a short fuse.

Where would you play him?

 

[Tas]

Dogs are the best placed Victorian club to hit the draft for their rebuild.

5, 6, 22 is a start.

Unless they recruit KPP it wont matter if they collect a hundred top 10 picks.

 

[Hunters Host #3]

Their spine is definitely a worry.

well on D. Jarman in the 98 GF for example. Wouldn't expect more than 5-10 games out of him during his 10 year career though!



grrr! I dislike when I **** up quotes !

 

[year of the roo]

Why are Port laughing? They're losing quality players left, right and centre.

Picks in the 30s won't make them any better any time soon.

North Melbourne, ever the innovators, have hatched a bold new tactic dubbed the "Bouncer Sub". Essentially the tactic involves activating the sub with a "specialist" player to "nullify" an opposition player who has "gotten of the leash". North's pick 138 in the 2013 draft, Ewan "Tiny" Kippianati, has made the position his own since debtuing in round 5 this year and totally "nullifying" Essendon Skipper and current Brownlow Medalist, Jobe Watson. Ewan, who can't play again until round 8, due to a suspension from the same game, said "I'm jest hippy to pley my rule and thet bro, ay"

Sorry, thought I'd lighten the mood...............k then, back to the analysis, hypothesising, ranting etc.

Where ever he wanted to play.

No please continue, it's much better than the other shit we've been discussing.

How does Tiny go in his second game?

Neither could Chaplin and Pearce.

North Melbourne's innovative new tactic, dubbed the "Bouncer Sub" appears to be unravelling. Ewan "Tiny" Kippianati, around whom the tactic revolves, played his second game today against Collingwood. The problem for North Melbourne and Kippianati was that he was required to substitute for North's speed machine Keiran Harper who copped a corked thigh 10 minutes in to the first quarter. Although Kippianati was able to "nullify" the Magpies's new recruit Quinten Lynch, he soon found the pace of the game hard to adapt his 150 kg frame to. "It was taking him 5 minutes to get to the bench, our rotations were stuffed" a clearly unimpressed North Coach, Brad Scott said after the game. "Tiny is obviously going to have to work on his fitness, his "nullifications" are fantastic, we just need to see more of them". Kippianati will have the next 7 weeks to work on his fitness due to an early gulty plea for an offence 12 minutes into the first quarter, Kippianati had carry over points from an incident earlier this year.

Asked if he thought the so called "Bouncer Sub" tactic was paying dividends, Scott replied "We may have to have another look at it, perhaps it's better to leave this sort of thing for a grand final".

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I'd buy Tiny's guernsey on the Roo Shop online auction.

Clean up enough blokes, could clone the worlds best player.

 

[year of the roo]

Neither could Chaplin and Pearce.

Those guys moving on will hurt them, as hilarious as that might sound.

 

[Daz]

Absolutely it will. They just lost two top 10 players.

 

[muttley45]

but they have retained the ? highly regarded travis boak,why he didnt bail out beats me,

 

[GreatBradScott]

but they have retained the ? highly regarded travis boak,why he didnt bail out beats me,

Offered 1.3 mil over 2 years. I'd stay too.

 

[Bigeasy]

I think it's time Tiny was put in cotton wool until the West Coast game where he should playing a "nullifying" role on Cox.

 

[Zebrah]

What, it might drop them from 5 wins to 3? Chaplin is a solid-ish back and Pearce a flighty outside midfielder but losing these guys will be better long run if they can draft well. They need to re-build around guys like Boak, Hartlett and Trengrove not Chaplin and Pearce.

 

[MaddAdam]

The last good KPP the Dogs recruited was Teddy "Bash The Missus And Root Th bSister" Whitten.

 

[Husk]

Their spine is definitely a worry.

Eh, they haven't had one for nearly 60 years.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I think what the compo picks show is that the AFL is just making shit up on the fly.

Made me larf ya did- nice work, 5 gold stars for you!!

PS- no way Franklin would have kicked 13 goals had 'Tiny' been playing that day in Tassie.

 

[the smith show]

That's the norm for the AFL.

If you lost a player on the 1st day of FA then you get the best compensation than everyone else.

 

[THRILLHO]

Absolutely it will. They just lost two top 10 players.

Plus McCarthy, who I rate as a nice B grade midfield piece with scope for improvement if kicking skills improved.

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

Yeah Tiny's been sent, mid season, to UTAH for some conditioning work. He might get another 1 or 2 games this year, depending on umpires, camera angles, etc. Look out for the "Tiny's back" thread.
