It's not about whether Swallow was a better player - I would hope a veteran player of 11 years is still better than anyone we've played as sub for a few years and then spent the majority of a year in a freshly blooded side. We're preparing our age profile for a dynasty, and to have kept Swallow...
So who would you be putting ahead of him? Because sure, his ceiling may never be that of an LDU, but we're going to need blokes like Dumont to improve exponentially if we're going to get anywhere with this list (which I think they can). As the discussion in the last few months has been most of...
Gotta disagree on that one Snake.
Trent has 20.6 disposals in 2017 to Luke McDonald's 21. He has 9.1 Contested possessions to Luke's 6.8, 66.9% Disp Efficiency to Luke's 73.7%. They were both taken in the 2013 draft, difference was Luke went at #8 and Froggy went at #30. Both 22 Y.O.
Now I'm in...
I used to call it 'hyper consciousness' before I got diagnosed and did some research. Used to have no idea what was happening to me, and because I've always been the type to keep to myself on these matters I just assumed it happened to everyone.
Meticulous attention to the way I stand and...
Hopefully Hibs and Hartung can participate in some friendly rivalry, ignite a bit of competition between these two and they're only going to get faster
I would say a lot of us are used to feeling shafted in trades and drafts, it's a great feeling now that the sand has fallen through the sifter to reveal all the gems we've collected. Really balanced core of talented youngsters, with massive potential.
Can't help but wonder if their...
I've been reading BF long enough, don't sweat it!
Yeah we're pretty bloody happy, as to be expected with our best pick in 11 years, lots of excited supporters. A lot of us were keen on Dow, understanding he was probably the best in the whole draft for our needs. I expected LDU (second best in...
I don't think North supporters mean what you think they do when we say we 'won' the draft. Our midfield has been exposed for pace in recent years and most posters recognise that - LDU is the explosive pace we've been missing. Think they simply mean that we got one of the best possible outcome...
Think we would have had something like #1 Dow, #2 Luke Davies-Uniacke, #3 Cerra (to fix our midfield immediately with the best available) based off the comment Ziebell made over the phone to him saying they expected him to go earlier - I'm thinking we were anticipating pulling the trigger on...
Looks like our new strategy is too steamroll the opposition? Ziebell, Pruess, Zurhaar, Cunners.. etc. now Kyron?
We're going to have other teams shaking in their boots pre-game, dreading the impending beat down
