Funny how Chris Mayne choked yet again. Great player but that's twice, haha.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Wouldn't say great...

J O'meara would look pretty good in RW&B round 1 2015.

Charlie Dixon is making me eat my words. Kicked 6 today, and has been fantastic this year. Always thought he was a bit of a spud.

StringyDog, will you join me in saying this, or maintain the spudliness call?

Who woulda thunk it

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The Suns do have a few tall spuds but Dixon is definitely not one of them.

I maintain that Plowman is the biggest waste of a top three pick I've seen in a while.

You're just saying that because you don't have a face anymore

Brent Thornton is seriously shit as a key defender, I honestly cant remember games where a key forward hasnt monstered him.

Hahaha, nah, he's just one of those guys that will be a solid player but has no chance of ever becoming anything special imo. Stringer, Menzel, Vlastuin, Macrae, Toumpas, Wines, Mayes and a few others here and there all have higher ceilings. Not to mention their strong need for a developing ruckman with Grundy just begging them to take him at three different picks. They definitely made some odd calls imo.

I know, I agree . I said back at draft time they probably could have got him at 12.

He has actually looked pretty good, not fully convinced especially against the likes of Thornton who even at his best was a horrible one on one defender and Davis who, forget Scully is the current most overpaid player in AFL, but doesn't look like the complete shitkicker I thought.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Holy **** the Suns' song is awful.

Who did everybody tip? I keep doing backflips...I've tipped the Crows at the moment but I legitimately have no idea.

 

[Mutt]

Suns v Giants was like watching an Oven and Murray game. Flamin' hell I hope we are better than those two sides.

....we are aren't we?

I had Adelaide all week until about 2 mins ago. Carlton to win it.

Didn't they also take that Aidan Corr guy who's also a key defender?

Yes. And Jaksch.

It was crap quality, was even harder to watch with Ward and Harbrow both cutting it up

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Plowman won't be a key defender. Will be a rebounder.

But yes - they took Jaksch (key forward/defender), Corr (key defender) and Stewart (key forward who will take 4-5 years before he's even decent).

Blood pressure rising Must not think about previous list management. Waterfalls, serenity now....

You guys might disagree but I tend to think this may be alright. KP players, good ones at least, are a rarity at AFL level, whilst there's always going to be smaller players. They obviously have their premiership winning captain & midfielder in Ward (a slow, single tear runs down my eye) and once they have the KP bigman in place, it is very easy to build a team around them.

Hope for Taylor that that wasn't what it looked like...

 

[BRG93]

My God that looked hideous for Taylor Walker, May have done an ACL

Very pleased with my last minute switch of tips from Crows to Blues (at this stage).
