Thought I'd give my two cents. Best and worst picks of the rounds so far.
ROUND ONE
I was absolutely staggered by the number of midfielders that went early in this draft. Established KPFs and to a lesser extent rucks and KPBs are usually a highly sought after commodity in this game. Ablett...
More teams the better I find with this game.
And yes, we always did the best team for the 2012 season. Always good to look back at how you did, who went way too early on the #1 draft pick, and who picked the Brownlow Medallist with pick 130ish. Hint; me.
You're forgetting we recruited Lynch & Johnston. They will be handy depth at the very least.
Young showed more in 3 years despite long-term injury than Sellar showed in 5. We'd be better off drafting Sam Rowe or Cockshell than keeping Sellar, if you were so worried about depth. And that's...
I think we are debating at cross-purposes here. I'm talking about Davis, and made supplementary comments about how bad a selection Fev would be compared with Davis. The ins and outs of his season don't concern me, as the key indicators are far too worrying to take seriously.
You're taking this way out of context fixating on one word I used to describe Fevola's season.
The point is that Fevola's behaviour this year has not demonstrated that he has overcome his mental demons. There is no question about his ability or whatever. Of course he had a purple patch in the...
From 10 goals to 6 goals to 0 goals in an elimination final is not a step backwards?
EDIT: I think my point is especially strong in the context of a thread of Davis and his supposed finals chokes

He was also suspended in that game.
He kicked 69 for the season. So, started slow, had a purple patch over 7 games and then finished the year with zero goals. Inconsistent.
Yeah, but collision injuries aren't what does it to your body in most cases. Its the hamstrings, groins, calves which make it bloody impossible to run out a game at full pace.
NFL has about 12 minutes of actually game time, of which half the side is off the ground at all times and only have 12 game H&A seasons. So 6 minutes x 12 games equals about 84 minutes of actual game play in a season? That's less than one whole game of AFL, which goes for 22 H&A rounds. AFL has...
I don't have the numbers with me, but one week he went from 10 goals to 0 goals late in the season. That is inconsistent! It tells me that his head still isn't right. Under AFL environment I reckon he would struggle again. There's no doubt about his talent, and it's wasted in the VFL, but he...
I think the club's measured response is just about spot imo. They've clearly considered all the factors on this one.
Fev is absolute poison for a young group. Doesn't even deserve consideration. He's been shockingly inconsistent for Casey this year. Davis got AA. That's one of the worst "big...
Yes, but being raw also means you need to improve a shitload to just catch up. This happened with Armstrong, and only just. Sibsado is nowhere near it at the moment.
Fair enough.
I'm not an advocate for this, nor do I think it is a genuine possibility, I just think the negative reaction was disproportionate to the merit of the idea.
Looks OK in its own right, but when the team wears them onfield they look like 3 different teams, depending on the angle you see them. Some variations of the St Kilda guernsey over the years has had the same problem.
How is picking up Leon any different to picking up Callinan?
Leon is actually an AA player.* $300k is only about $50k more than the average payment for a player, and that includes your first and second year players on a base rate.
Hell, I'd consider it. I think sometimes you can cut too...
I totally agree. New logo is the problem. The head just looks weird. Not even a crow. All the spiky tufts at the back? The turned up bottom beak? Light blue? I know they're the club colours, but it just doesn't work.
I actually like the jumper. White is used in many sports as a neutral/clash...
Love Brodie, one of our most promising players. Personally, I think he is only just behind McKernan and Dangerfield on pure potential, and despite more years to go he has a more rounded game already than both of them.
Crouch on the other hand - sheeeesh. Totally different category.
