2013 Draft Discussion

Where did the Brennan trade get to this draft?

Can't believe how much Bont made me think of Jared, even down to the one-handed ball wave. Thank God they took him and delivered us Aish.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

I think it would help. Just as it might with any other player. But I can't see our midfield affecting him or anything. He is quite a capable player.

Won't get much attention in his first year with Hanley and Rich getting the tags.

Would you not see him playing mainly small forward initially, with Greeny/Zorks getting more time in the middle?

No one can replace the comedic genius that was Jared Brennan.

There are terrible days when I miss the comedic tandem of Merrett/Brennan. Then Rog got better and the Goose got traded. Related?

 

[cotter101]

Especially a skinny whippet such as Aish. Nothing a bit of Thymosin beta-4 protein powder and steak can't fix.

Yep.

Just needs to bulk up a bit. Could see him becoming a Marc Murphy type of player.

That is the idea I mentioned somewhere above. But if he shows enough there is no reason why he couldn't play in the midfield. I'd certainly like to see Green get a shot in the midfield though.

This shit be getting complicated yo. This is only tracking the ins. Obviously there were outs as part of pick upgrades etc along the journey but all these ins are able to be linked to the Des Headland trade in some way.

But yeah, more than one fifth of our current senior list (7 players) is linked to trading Des Headland to Freo.

But thats not quite what they meant when they described Headland as a player you could build a team around.

Apparently Eddie everywhere has been lobbying the AFL this morning, to have the Lions stripped of any more than one second round pick, in future drafts. He said he was happy that the Pies had two first round picks and because of that, there should be no talk of Brisbane dominating and smashing the draft with a multitude of astute second round picks. he continued with the line, that it was not his fault five players wanted to go home and the Lions should have been happy with a minimum of two years from each of these fine young men. he ended by saying that clubs should never have folded and offered more than third round picks and implored the AFL to never to let this happen again.

Seems that one day nearly all of the list will be able to trace their lineage to Des in the same way that I'm distantly related to Robert the Bruce.

Does this make Des Headland our Kevin Bacon?
