There'd be a case to suggest that was, arguably - statistically speaking - the worst midfield performance by any team in the modern era, especially the first half. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I don't wish to be howled down, but I am just interested why he went so low in his draft year. Was he a late developer ... more involved w other sports - golf comes to mind, perhaps basketball? He seems to have a lot going for him (save the injury curse); I must say, I've always been a fan. On...

Wasn't he an absolute gun as a junior, then lost his way a little. The kicking we knew about, but some of the other stuff suggests he might be a bit special, as previously thought. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Simple: he's better than Schultz, in myriad ways. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Ramsden has skills & athletic traits you just can't teach. With any luck ... On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Wherever he plays down back, he brings the skillset a smart forward/midfielder possesses; you just don't put him on guys like 'Porkins'.

Is this the time/place? For someone who was ranked so highly in his draft year, were there any indications DGB had 'fitness' issues or 'questionable' athletic traits in his draft profile. I really like the kid & reckon there's a lot to work with, but ... On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Dimma more in the Elliott mould, if considerably tougher; different role/skillset than the 'usual' small forward, perhaps. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah, Papley's decent, but I just hope the Wiz ain't that sort of prick ... I know, I know, small fowards & all. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I suspect 'x factor' isn't, by definition, consistently on display; Rioli brought 'x factor' into the midfield ... 10 touches, a Norm Smith, for ex. Your analysis, J2S, is also closer to the mark - different players came together & brought different attributes, at an elite level, to the cause...

He ain"t called 'the Wizard' for nothing! On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

How does Ratten feature w the IT mob. Is he telling them what the coaches want (w greater clarity/authority) or is he meant to 'decipher' the info' they provide better than the rest? It's, at least, the second time he's mentioned that part of his role; might it mean a greater focus on...

He was seriously tough, but one of many; just the way we played then - fit, strong, relentless, hard - plus a bloody good kick & mark, as required. Mostly, just did his job in defence & across half-back. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Just reading TFFM's comment about training, & reflecting on most all we've read & seen - generational talent, Reid, aside - how could you not pick this guy. Taking everything into consideration, I would have taken him at 2, if we'd had the call. So, with any luck - Let the show begin ...

The Wiz's '34' is clearly because of Ginnivan; as someone else intimated, mayhem is about to be unleashed. On SM-S916B using BigFooty.com mobile app
