Oh well the tall one remains

 

[Zach Package]

Based on?

Given the athletic profile it’s basically the same as us picking someone in the top 30 and them retiring after a year because they don’t want it. Which is also not good.

We have lots of tall ones, probably needed the fast one.

BrunoV isn't going to have anyone left at this rate.

Has he ever played a proper competitive game? It's not quite like a top 30 pick.

Fair point, but at least people can't get them confused now

Is it only our Irish recruits that get homesick? If so, why so?

No.

Covid is taking the joy out of being an afl footballer these dudes probably getting in trouble for smashing through 10 chicks every weekend why not go back home

Nah, our SA boys get it as well.

So the thoroughbred left and we kept the teaser pony

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Understandable, would have been a tough year for thses guys in new country. No VFL wouldn’t have helped either. Hopefully he may come back in future

Its more like the sprinter left and the stayer has remained.

This is as disappointing as it is disturbing. We have 0 options for a quick break from half back.

I dont care about the game plan. There will always be a time to run the ball out of defence and there is no substitute for speed when playing on small forwards.

A raw Irishman he may have been but he was much more significant to the list than that.

We're now 12 months away from having this style of player on the list.

Isn't there a mid-season draft? Could we get one then?

Don't know the draft well enough.

I suppose we could use SSP too.

Selection Super Powers?

Welcome to EFC, Jasper Pittard!

Surely Hind is in line to play the run from HB role?

Does it really matter that we're 12 months away from having this style of player? We're not contending next year and maybe it will force us to come up with other ideas for getting the ball out of the defence instead of just pass it to Saad.

I think the idea is not to let it get to defence at all, get it fwd, lock it in.

Yes that would also be nice

Don't you dare.

 

[blitzer]

I wouldn't worry we'll get a top 3 pick next year and then we'll be able to get the best HBF around (to the collective howls of despair of all EFC fans).
