[Ma Xiao Long]

Were there no rucks left?

 

[daird]

as if nobody is gonna take schlong

 

[Ashman OG]

Haha whats with the hate in here?
Its like our recruitment has got it wrong over the last few years or something lol

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Looked like being anything in his first season, seems to have lost favour . Will put immediate pressure on Rioli and George’s spot . Quick and tackles hard

The only player in the AFL that looks as tough as Dusty

 

[Infamy]

Reject Shop Dusty?

So equivalent to Jordan De Goey then?

 

[Bojangles17]

Massive upgrade on George. It sounds like the club know George is a massive liability and have gotten this guy through the door to replace him. Massive fan of this pick. We identified a serious weakness in our side and upgraded it.

Might play this Saturday

WHAT???

Um how's that for a random selection. No one saw it coming. Interesting no one took Freeman or Schlong before us

Matthew Parker? A bit of a surprise. He looked good in some games for St Kilda from what I remember and was surprised when he was moved on by them, but I don’t have the level of confidence as I did when we picked up Pickett.

Having said that, I want to know why we picked him up first before I make a judgement on whether it was a good decision. What role will he play? What attributes did we like about him? Those type of things.

I’d have preferred to pick up a KPD or a ruck but oh well.

After Marcon left Lambo, Butler left George, we finally got another bestie pair in with Marlion and Matty.

Mid season draft pick... nothing to lose and could possibly gain.
No valid reasons to melt, IMO.

 

[tigs2010]

So.....we trade Butler and Higgins to the saints as small forwards because all their small forwards are crap, and them, we draft a small forward that the saints delisted.

Looks quick, and nasty, and enjoys tackling , tick tick tick

Imagine he wins a flag while Higgo stands at Moorabbin rubbing his scone

 

[Ashman OG]

This blokes been killing the WAFL brings a bit of grunt in that forward half thats been lacking this year.

 

[caddyshack]

A clever pick.

Opposition players will be so focused on punching this bloke that Dusty and Jack should get a free run at the ball.

 

[French Tiger]

Wow ! Didn’t mind him when I watched his games a few times ! More of a hybrid type forward from memory which is the type we lack

[G String]

can't believe he is listed at 79 kgs - looks more like a 85-90 type - must be as wiry as hell

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

I cant believe I stayed up past my bedtime for this.
Wow

Reckon Freeman got told to get through the season and clubs re-evaluate in the National.

 

[_RT_]

I won't judge as I honestly no nothing about him.
What are his WAFL stats like this year?

We have had some success picking up players from the WAFL in recent times.
Broad, Baker and Pickett. Anyone else?

No one took them at all

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

My initial feeling

You and me both...

Gets the ball, marks, tackles and hurts you on the scoreboard. Something to work with...
How quick is he? Does he play med forward or small forward?

His game against West Coast is pretty impressive.

 

[fightingfury]

Not sure about this pick but I trust the club. We need a spark in our fwd line and this guy could provide it.

 

[eays]

Can he play mid? We really need a big bodied, mature mid
