If they are all about coin either or both will end up at Adelaide, if they end up at Port they are more about club and winning.

Don't we still have a tonne of cap space? Just move it from Merrett to Luko.

That’s why I really don’t want west coast making the finals. Hoping for a freo upset and essendon win today.

I doubt the contracts between Port and Crows would be significantly different. So come to Port for the club, winning and coin.

Yeah. Forget a big offer to billings. Bergman has that role stitched up.

Save the cash and convince luko to come to us in 2022 when he’s ooc.

Yea I'm just going on Adelaide really freeing up the coffers.

Do Melbourne based viewers even give a shit about this nonsense?

Melbourne never left second gear. Crows never really threatened them.

Probably.

Crows do play with energy. Will be interesting to see what Burgo does with them.

So is this Horne kid a lock for pick 1?

Really would prefer he wasn’t at the cows next year and they have some other Vic kid who’ll leave in 4 yrs after being forced to play SANFL for no reason…

 

[finbarr]

Probably.

Yeah, that's my thought too.

Those in Ed’s social circles do.

The vast unwashed masses I’m sure couldn’t give a crap

No Dwayne, that's a big fumble.

I personally think Daicos (Pies) is clear number one, Darcy (WB) number 2 and Horne number 3. But heaps of people rate Horne higher than Darcy

That’s ok because those two are father-son locks so North can’t take either of them. If Horne is a comfortable third he’ll should be the first “live” pick then.

Yeah other than the father son, Horne is clearly the first live pick unless north go crazy

We could make something of Fogarty if he was with us.

 

[philthy05]

Rate Horne the clear best. Daicos is very good. If you’ve watched a bit of taj Schofield daicos just reminds me of a much more prolific Schofield.

Darcy is just the clear standout tall but there’s not much to compare him to in this draft. I wouldn’t want to pay a top 3 pick for him.

From my time living in Melbourne, it is the only thing, apart from lining up for things, that they care about.

 

[finbarr]

The canned crowd roar 5 seconds after the goal is awesome. It's like EA Sports Brian Lara Cricket.

We'd make him a multiple Ken Farmer medallist.

During a brutal study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.

On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes.

But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try - how long do you think they lasted? 15 minutes? 30 minutes?

Nope. 60 hours.

That's what Adelaide's win against Geelong in R1 did for their belief this year. They are still the same rubbish team they were last year, and they are going to get rid of players like Lynch and Talia because they are of the mistaken idea that they are on the up with players like Schoenberg, Hamill, Keyes etc.

But all they are is mice treading water. Going ****ing nowhere. The second worst percentage in the competition, 15th for points for, 15th for points against. They only thing they lead the competition in is rebound 50s. What was the difference between this year and last year? Port didn't smash them off the park in R2, that's what.
