Immediately after each other. Respect players but everyone else say what you like it seems.
Correct

Someone who is paid and in return is giving “expert analysis” is well open to criticism

An 18 year old kid who hasn’t stepped foot in an AFL environment isn’t unless it is analytical in its delivery

But not surprised in the slightest

Did a bit of digging and youre right the AFL said they rejected Hawthorn's application because we applied in Greeves draft year. Except that there wasn't actually a rule against this at the time - the rule only got changed this year in September to require applications to be made before the draft year. And also ignoring previously that North applied for Sanders in his draft year and had their application accepted. So AFL just making up shit as usual to suit its agenda.
The rules of the time tho NGA was lock out until pick 40 hence they were never able to claim Sanders unless they used there own pick which they didn’t & took McKercher & Dursma

I agree the garbage language isn’t appropriate. I disagree with your assessment that only one can be criticised, but neither shouldn’t be made personal. I think it’s hilarious you think Jonty is paid it would be lucky to be more than pocket money given their subscription base and viewership levels.
 
You should watch his champs games where they reckon he was good and tell me your opinion.
Its funny, I actually think Fred Rodriguez has more upside than Farrow.
Skilful on both sides of the body and already plays midfield. Not sure why he isn't mentioned as a draft prospect.
Maybe highlights are deceiving. Be interested in your thoughts?

I’d think a kid who is widely regarded as the best talent in his state is far from garbage, regardless.
 
Oskar Taylor is an Amon clone.
I'm not averse to it, but I'd be staggered if we took another half back with our first.
Wasn’t sure about that take but I just looked back at his combine results and they are similar. Slightly slower 2.88 vs 2.823 on 20m sprint and 8.18 vs 7.84 on agility. Amon a slightly more penetrating kick. Good shout.
Funny looking back the guy above Amon in the 20m sprint at 2.84…James Sicily!

I've always said Sic is sneaky quick over 10 - 20m.

For me being quick over 20m is just as important than being quick over 100m when playing AFL.
 
There is a really good article on Zero Hanger about Ollie Greeves.Talks about his leadership qualities and his pros/cons.
One thing l took out of watching the championships was his ability to find space which can offset his 'lack of speed'. Something you can't really see in a highlights package.
Often overlooked are the players personalities which Hawthorn value highly, maybe this is why they were into Greeves as well. Anyway it was a good read and thought to point it out.

Essendon and Melbourne will dictate the draft, will they go for a smokey that no expected, will the bid on Dean or will they go the expected route.

For me personally I still dont know who I want with our pick 10, I think this draft isn't as weak as its being said it is. I want greeves, but I hope he slide to our second pick
 
In some ways similar to you calling sharp a plodder ?
Not sure that saying someone looks a plodder(not quick, not dynamic) to me is the same as saying someone is garbage.
