That's a sick joke.
I feel ill.

 

[Robbo92]

Please tell me that's a joke.

 

[Slattery_20]

Were probably thinking no way he lasted that long. Wernt the Dons keen at 8 or 9 before Heppell was avaliable???

We supposedly didn't speak to Heppell, either.
Everything a club ever puts out, is true....

I'm hoping he's signed for Claremont or some such

Yes you did
Hirdy met him at a caravan park where Heppell and his family were staying about a week before draft day

 

[Slattery_20]

Yep.

It was a while ago, but I think Essendon were expecting Heppell to be picked up by Richmond, and when he slid through - they overlooked Atley.

Brisbane, actually. Assumed Richmond would go for whichever was left of him & Polec.

If I remember correctly the only time we'd spoken to conca before drafting him was at the combine and the night before the draft.

FJ does like to keep others off the scent so maybe he will do somthing similar?

I know the crows only spoke to talia a few days prior to the draft for the first time assuming he wouldn't make it to their pick because of Carlton

It's amazing how clubs can try to guess and plan what other clubs will do.

Particuarly when Talia was our third preference for that selection:

1. Lucas
2. Pittard
3. Talia
4. Jetta

Think it was a couple of days before the draft Emma broke that we were going to take Conca and he had to get flown over as they presented the top 10. So id imagine we would have told him 3-4 days out we will select him if avaliable.

Also just cause we havent spoken to a particular kid dosent mean we havent enquired about him. You can learn a ton from talking to people involved with the player without ever having spoken to the kid.

If this Reimers thing is true I'm sincerely regretting renewing my membership

 

[Slattery_20]

Just because you're saying you haven't interviewed him, at a particular point, in an official capacity.

Doesn't mean you haven't.

As if we didn't speak to Heppell. Maybe we didn't have an official, AFL draft camp (TM) interview... but we'd spoken to him plenty

Ummm...you can't sign delisted free agents now. Lol at Reimers probably his mum runs that twitter.

Thankyou for your clarity in this tough time. I really was starting to feel sick, hehe

 

[Stylo]

Thankyou tigs. Can now clean up the vomit and continue my day.

 

[UpTheGuts]

No need for Lifeline now. Phew!!!!

Urgghhh.

 

[Stylo]

Anyone think Rory Atkins resembles Lids a bit in his playing style? His kicking action is a pretty close replica. Not comparing the two just making an observation.

Definitely want Atkins at 32. Could be anything

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Just re hashing old stories im sure.

[TOOs_Finest]

IIRC North Melbourne hadn't interviewed Shaun Atley when they picked him at #17 in 2010.

Yep, these things tend to work out pretty well.

JON, another one that comes to mind

A yellow card is in order for you for sprouting that rubbish and nearly killing half of the board.

I saw somewhere had a Rory Sloane comparision with him. If thats true then take him at all costs at 32.

At the very least! He should also have to change his avatar to a picture of Reimers.

Pretty sure you can offer a contract though?

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

The club might as well have given up trying to achieve 60,000 members if the Reimers thing was true.
My god i nearly threw up that whole Grill'd burger i just ate.

Shhhhhhh don't kill the moment. This is why I'm glad I don't have a reserved seast next to you.
