EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
No current season stats available
You must be new here - there’s been plenty of so called blunders.Rory Sloane’s retirement reminds of possibly our greatest ever blunder. Think the story goes we’d been into Rory the whole year, told him we were taking him if available and we chose Liam Anthony instead, he went the Crows at the next pick.
No, not new at all SB, been here too bloody long.You must be new here - there’s been plenty of so called blunders.
Stibbard wanted Selwood
Walker taken and the next 8-10 players are above average players
Atley instead of Issac smith who played in our vfl side
Can Trainor play KPF
Yep, don't you just love destiny!Trainor? If that's not a sign I don't know what is. Let's hope he keeps knocking the door down and we take him. Positional need, roos supporter, related to a club legend it's meant to be
Josh smilie without a shadow of doubt, the closest play to dangerfield we are ever going to get. He is vic based, so no go home factor and is not part of the tasmania hype.
Smillie isn't at all Dangerfield. Isn't all that explosive. He is more of a big bodied, strong inside mid in the Tom Green/Patty Cripps mould. Totally different players.
Yes Joel Selwood's knees are bone on bone, no ligament left. He won't last. A ticking time bomb. Just you wait and see.No, not new at all SB, been here too bloody long.
Everyone had Lachie at 3, I think it was pick 3, Selwood had knee issues or something didn’t he?
Walker a *ing disaster stupid pick, complete reach, agree with the following 8-10 players. Wasn’t there chuckles from other clubs when we took him. We should’ve taken Kelly, think Geelong spooked us, or set us up. Amateur hour at our joint.
Sloane has turned out to be the dream shinboner footballer IMO, culture changing of ya footy club.
Selwood no slouch either, of course. The ducking would’ve shitted me, although I loved LT.
If he comes to us, I just hope he's not a big-bodied, strong, inside mid in the Jack Ziebell mould. AKA not a mid.Smillie isn't at all Dangerfield. Isn't all that explosive. He is more of a big bodied, strong inside mid in the Tom Green/Patty Cripps mould. Totally different players.
Morning RF,
Remember I was talking about little Ricky from the Dragons?
Got a run on Sunday and kicked 5
(Albeit against GWS Academy who aren’t very good apparently)
Still though….not a bad effort

Spent all his juniors playing as a key forward. It’s only been the last 8 months that he has played some games as a defender and completely taken his game to another level.
If he comes to us, I just hope he's not a big-bodied, strong, inside mid in the Jack Ziebell mould. AKA not a mid.
Would he have still been drafted if he'd stayed at the same level he was previously at as a key forward?
Unsure, he hasn't had much exposed form as a key forward as Coates League Level. His best forward work was all done at the local leagues where he was probably bullying his direct opponents.
I believe Sandy sent him back because they thought it would be the best place to utilise his foot skills.
Hanson instead of Selwood is easily our biggest drafting mistake, it's right up there with the Tigers taking Tambling instead of Buddy.You must be new here - there’s been plenty of so called blunders.

Hanson instead of Selwood is easily our biggest drafting mistake, it's right up there with the Tigers taking Tambling instead of Buddy.
It's also the answer to anyone who suggests that you should draft for positional needs over best available in the first round.
Fair enough, maybe my memory is letting me down, from what I was told we quite liked Selwood but got spooked by his injuries (I though it was his shoulders not knees?).Lachie wasn't a positional need pick.
Gibbs, Gumbleton and Hansen were absolutely the clear 3 heading into that draft.
There was massive hype around all 3 of them as generational young players, they just happened to be a mid, CHF and CHB, which added to it.
Easy to say in hindsight, but Selwood was never spoken about as a top 3 pick at the time with his knee.
It would have been a ludicrous suggestion, as Hansen was considered one of the best underage key back prospects of the AFL era at that point.

Hello darkness my old friend..You mean to tell me there's a highly touted KPD kid who BFNAAK and hates Essendon, and some people are tossing up whether we should pick him?!
It’s funny cos right now a prime Jack Ziebell in the midfield is kinda what we need.If he comes to us, I just hope he's not a big-bodied, strong, inside mid in the Jack Ziebell mould. AKA not a mid.
Gumbleton vs Hansen was going to become the Carey vs Jakovich of the new era. As you say, Leuenberger was not far from the conversation but we'd already loaded up with Hale and McIntosh so we were not going to pick another ruck.Selwood was never in the discussion.
In fact, the main discussion at the time was very much Gumby vs Hansen vs Leuenberger
With quite a bit of discussion surrounding Hansen vs Leuenberger
I think James Sellar had more discussion than Joel Selwood leading into 2006.
Then there was discussion around Thorp, Jack Riewoldt, Brown twins, Reid, Hampson, Dawes, Garland, Jesse White.
It was a massive year for talls and Hansen and Gumby were considered the rolled gold prospects that performed well above a huge group of great prospects.
