Steve Salopek with 4 young lads, it would have been great to see what Sal could have become in our current system. Hopefully his 4 lads can win a Premiership here in the future.

I still can't believe he fell to us

That would be nice, he owes us something for the pick wasted on him

Yes, how dare he have a career wrecked by injury, so selfish of him.

Booo!!! Was one of my favourites Sal. Cruelled by injury.

Was a plodder at best, summed up the 207-2011 period.

There wasn't a worse club you could have been drafted to if you had an injury during that period. Between our sub-standard fitness department and Skype / roped in IT guy assistants, I find it hard to blast any players games across that period. Except in the case of clear shirking contests (Lonie) or not taking responsibility at all (aeroplane boy Chaplin).

I'm sure both Salopek and Butcher would have been solid 200 gamers at any other club they were drafted to. Not stars, but good journeymen. Not the wrecked by injury and coaching they both ended up at.

 

[TeeKray]

You really can't count anything that happened in that '08-'12 period. The club was a semi professional rabble beset by problems and turmoil from top to bottom.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Especially after he forced us to draft him by being available at our pick. Bastard.

Played Rd 1, 2004.

Reckon he could've played in our flag if not for glandular fever from memory.

Could have easily played the Cassisi role.

Watching the U-18, mead and pickett look impressive so far. Anyone had eyes on burgoyne yet?

Done his hammy 3 times this year , won't be drafted

In a weak draft year he may be drafted with our final rookie pick.

Yeah true

Jackson Mead just made the u18 All Australian Team

 

[LFC2010]

Jackson Mead just made the u18 All Australian Team

Just saw that, surely we have to use our 1st rounder on him now and not trade it away for Fantasia.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

reminds me of Roger James does young Mead. Does simple things real well + good on both sides.

REVEALED: The 2019 U18 All Australian team

Yeah no.

All Aus doesn’t mean much. Players get named to all Aus and get drafted late or not at all every year

reminds me of Roger James does young Mead. Does simple things real well + good on both sides.

James is a pretty good comparison, except I don’t see mead as having that strength through the hips and burst that I remember James having.

Is Jackson the better Mead?

 

[afl2004]

Is Jackson the better Mead?

Yep

 

[TheFVK]

Actually it means the opposite, if we think he's going for a first rounder we should trade ours away for a bunch of late or future round picks, as the rankings points for each pick are artificially inflated at the lower end.

Is Jackson the better Mead?

The other mead is playing div 1 amateurs isn’t he?

 

[jac147]

Mitchell Mead is a contracted Port Adelaide player in the sanfl. So I’m confused, are we after both Mead boys or just Jackson? With a healthy Power list I guess Mitchell would be playing in the amateurs and Jackson playing with the eagles.

#18 in the phantom draft on the afl website.

Get a young kid with 8-12 and then get Mead whenever someone bids for him.
