No, you've made the assumption that Doedee is nothing but a "competitive" player. He was the number one intercept player in the SANFL last year, and after a shaky start to his first game, played well against Essendon when most of his teammates were awful, and follows that up against Richmond...

It's amazing that you can extrapolate that from what I said. :drunk:

The only thing that is clear is your ridiculous bias.

If there is one area within the AFC that I have complete faith in, it's Ogilvie and our recruiting department. Galluci isn't who I was expecting going into the draft, but when looking at our current midfield mix and his attributes, it's hard to argue that there was a better suited player...

Money for his opinion.

It may have been his first goal assist in the AFL. Just a pity it wasn't for his own team. :oops:

That lovely hand pass to Taylor Walker running into an open goal during the Showdown hurt quite a bit.

You'd take 2 goals and 17 hitouts a game any day of the week from your 2nd ruck option, which is what he got last season. Still a campaigner though. :D

No s**t, because it's a stupid argument to begin with. Remember it's your argument, not mine. Would Lynch be a better player if he wasn't receiving an offer from another team that was tempting him to leave? There is no talk of us wanting to get rid of Lynch, there is talk of another team wanting...

:rolleyes: If Josh Kennedy were to leave the Swans, it'd be his 3rd club too. Would that make him not in Sydney's top 10, and easily replaceable? What a ridiculous argument. The guy didn't get a decent run at the Saints, due to their personnel and where they were as a club at the time. Since...

In 19 games as half forward link up player, he's averaged 19.2 touches, 7.2 marks, 3.9 I50s, kicked 25 goals (without having a 10 goal game against GWS to pad that number out), and handed off another 26 goals to teammates. I don't think it's publically available, but I'd really like to see his...

Nobody is comparing him to Riewoldt as an overall player. It's the running work that he does that is comparable. Has Ellis-Yolmen ever played as a forward in his life? He's played all of 12 AFL games, and you think we can just plug him in to Lynch's role (which he isn't fit enough for anyway)...

I would think so too. He's finally getting some continuity out of himself and staying injury free, and he's playing some very good football as a result. The only reason I can think of that they'd be offering only two years, is they have high hopes for Mitch McGovern. He certainly has a bit more...

Do you actually watch Lynch? How hard he runs for the entire game? This is why he gets the array of stats that he does, gut running. He's not a supremely talented footballer (he's no hack either), but he runs his opponent into the ground. I think he obviously spent a lot of time watching and...

The forward line point is probably a fair one actually. I've taken a lot more notice of him this year after he won the rising star, as I didn't know a lot about the guy beforehand. Kane Kornes is actually exactly who came to mind when I started watching more of him. Can get lots of the ball, but...

Too early for this. Daniel has a lot of talent and great skills, but he's played all of two games. Taylor can find a lot of the footy, but I think he's overrated at present, as he's not overly damaging with it.

No, they don't.

Sam Day isn't a huge name in the figurative, or literal sense.

It would definitely hurt, but with the colossal * up that was the Tippett situation, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he's not so positive about Adelaides future. Speaking of Roo, who is now on the board at the AFC, he has just got Sloane, Tex and Danger to buy into a pub he owns...

You absolutely should be. He's one of the most marketable players in the league, the type that people will pay to see play, and has future leader written all over him. Melbourne would be crazy to not throw money at him.

It'd certainly be hard turning down an offer like that. I'm sure he'll be getting a few of them too.

I believe premierships was mentioned. That seems to be his ultimate goal. As I said though, he's one of the lucky ones. He can say that knowing full well that any team in the league will find a way to give him $1m a season if he indicates that he'd like to go there. Money is something that he...

Maybe. Dangerfield is one of those lucky players who is going to get paid a bucketload no matter where he plays, and is a monty to go on to have a lucrative media career post football. He has mentioned several times that success is what is most important to him, and for that reason, if he were...

Every club in the league has access to the F/S rule (GWS and GC aside, but they aren't exactly struggling for talent after their start up concessions), and the likelihood of producing a player who even makes the AFL grade, let alone a top end talent every year is pretty damn low. My club hasn't...

I don't understand why the Father/Son rule and player academies are even being talked about in the same breath.

Nah.

:rolleyes:

I was responding to you implying that West Coast would ask for Adelaide's first round pick, and likely get it. I thought that was reasonably clear. It has nothing to do with what West Coast or Adelaide believe Lycett's value is, and everything to do with the likelihood of Adelaide using their...

Mate, you were the one who made an implication, I replied by telling you that it wasn't going to happen, and why. Adding an 18 year old from the draft is of the utmost importance to a side that has just gone through two years of draft sanctions, and considering this years draft class is...

I didn't say it did. You stated West Coast would ask for, and likely get Adelaide's first round pick. They wont. If Adelaide are recruiting him, it will not be as a number one ruckman as long as Jacobs is there, and they will not be using their first decent pick in 3 years on a backup for...
