I'm not unhappy with it. Obviously would have loved for Young to get it, but Green's game was deserving enough that I don't mind Young getting pipped here.

There was in instance where he gathered in defensive 50, looked up off one step delivered a 50m bullet on a dime to i think Hughes?

That really caught my attention, you just can't teach that vision and skill.

Breathe in “ Little Grasshopper “, under the radar is what we chant.

Will be the best in his position in the comp, there will be oppo half forwards designated to block his run at the drop before round 10 this season bookmark it. In a game where our midfield was not getting slaughtered at stoppages his performance would have been match winning.

Should have gone pick 2 behind Rowell and would have if recruiters weren't so conservative.

I do remember in the post draft questions with anonymous recruiters one of the recruiters (and it was pretty obviously Carlton) said they'd have had to seriously consider him at 1. No brainer at 3 for them

edit: found the article - good read for those interested and seems unbelievable that he slide to 7 in the end given the number of clubs here saying they would haved taken him at 3. Equally unbelievable Green went to 10

Who would you have taken at pick No.3? We ask the recruiters

AFL.com.au canvassed recruiters and list managers from 12 clubs about who they would have taken if they held the third pick

Just putting it out there that the contested ball he won before getting the one two and delivering the 50m pass Walters was against Rowell......

Young is a prime reason why you don't reach with your first pick in the draft.

Posters were saying we need to get a key forward, back or ruck etc. with our first each year because Pav is getting older, and so is Sandi.

Teams such as Melb picking up Jackson and Adelaide with McAsey. Sure they needed to fill positions long term but to pass on Young who could be the best pick in the draft

It was a very decent draft and way too early to make a call on draft decisions for the top 10, apart from that we did well. If Jackson was available and we took him I would have been OK with it and not seen it as a reach. Most of the 'reach' comments are based on phantom drafts put together by people who are far less informed than club recruiters.

Got a mention on 'On the Couch'

Thanks Gerard Healey for noticing young 'Aaron' Young from Fremantle!

Sheesh! At least he got his surname correct.

Lol nice work Gerald

Pickett looks a pretty good pick at 12 too. He was also considered a reach funny enough. Love his explosiveness. Matera should watch his game at the weekend for a lesson in how to be a threat to opposition defences.

Great explosiveness and endeavour but crikey he made a lot of blues. Just needs to settle in a bit and he’ll be great.

I don’t think anyone is surprised that Green got the RS nod rather than the Young gun but in terms of doing outstanding things on the footy field and impacting the game I think Young is way ahead

Can you imagine how good our backline will look with Hamling/Pearce back and having Ryan/Young rebounding. eggplantemoji.jpeg

We might be able to get Alex Rance this off season too.

Weird dude. Even his Richmond team mates weren't all that sad to see him go. I'd rather pass.

Yep, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to knock on his door.

He's a religious nut job

 

[Monument Hills]

He's a religious nut job

what did he say?

 

[Inveigh Slang]

What did he say?

It not what he says it's what he does.

He split up with his partner and went on a spiritual trip.

He's a devout Jehovah's Witness

Provide me one shred of evidence that God exists and that being a Jehovah's Witnesses is the true path to eternal bliss and I'll renounce my atheism.

It's not up to me to disprove God but for religious people to prove God. Religion is faith, not fact, yet these sheep believe their God to be factual.

I’m really not sure why people rate Ryan so highly. From my watching he bombs it long constantly and isn’t much more effective, if at all, than guys constantly crucified on this board for having poor skills.

How this board sees Hughes as a ball butcherer and Ryan as an elite kick is beyond me... They are both decent but not elite ball users.

Young is clearly a much better kick than both.

Ryan’s gone backwards since he got injured last year. Was on track for AA before injury though, his intercept marking was one of, if not best in comp for a while. Kicking has always been good, not great simply because he doesn’t take risks.

Hughes for me is worse because he is slower at making decisions and often makes the wrong one on top of it. Was very good on the weekend
