    Ball enters ND, destination: Collingwood

    Ball specifying a 1/2 million 1 year contract should do it. By specifying a 1 year contract he makes it clear that he walks after 1 year if he is unhappy with the club that drafts him. No club will draft him knowing he will walk after 1 year. Once he gets to the club of his choice, the...

    the midfield and our ruck stocks

    I suppose all those suggesting we should have taken a ruck instead of the best available are in full support of the decision to take McKee and pick 7 instead of Pavlich at pick 4. Similarly this crap about not drafting ruckmen. Since 1999 we have drafted Fraser, McKee, Richards, Fanning...

    Who is happy with todays DRAFT results..

    I think that perhaps people are a little too hung up on size with respect to midfield. I think that what is increasingly important is that as many players as possible are able to continuously run and provide support. This capability is increasingly a requirement of all players even kpp's...

    Burgans tips for Pies

    What Burgan's tips suggest is what we all know - that at some stage we will be looking for a kpp and a ruck. He indicates that we are interested in Hampson, but also in Renouf, Tippet and Goldstein. He suggests We are interested in Thorp, Reiwolt, Garland and Dawes. He is probably...

    Mock Draft 2006

    1 carl Gibbs apparently done. 2 ess Hansen. Plenty of Rucks. Need both midfield and kpp but Hansen seems to fit the quality/need balance best. 3. kang Thorp. They were reluctant to play both Rocca and Thomson (2 power forwards) together. While Gumbleton is more mobile than Rocca, he will...

    Best case and worst case scenario for draftees

    Hurn is about Dean Solomon's size and is a good mark and strength. So Best M.Riccuto Worst Dean Solomon with Josh Hunt's kick. Pretty formidable in either case. If I was optimistic and looking at best cases, I would prefer a Riccuto over a Del Santo, Cousins or just about any of the...

    hurns screening

    The difference is actually 0.06 not 0.2 or 0.4. That is 6 one hundredth of a second not 2 or 4 tenths of a second. For a guy not all that fit and with OP that ain't bad at all. On top of it he can kick like a mule, burst through tackles and take a contested mark. Out of interest, does anyone...

    Scarlett for Makepeace? Richards a Blue?!

    Are you David O'Leary or Timothy Leary? (For those of you who are too young, Timothy Leary was the guru of LSD, a hallucigenic drug, in the 60s and 70s)

    Gardiner for Tarrant

    Macca how about N.Brown for Quentin Lynch. It would solve Richmonds forward problems and is a win win for everyone.
