List Mgmt. 2014 Draft

[Taylor]

Hinkley is another AFL footballer I have had the 'pleasure' of meeting in a nightclub.

He is a very confident guy.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

i reckon another 5-7 years before our foundation players' kids come into play ... maybe

Yep. We're not quite Adelaide, but we're close.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Some boys in amongst that lot but other than The Wiz's kid, who'd be about 17 now, not sure any of them would be old enough to be drafted.

Edit: Tonga Bob beat me to it...

You inspired me!!

 

[Kram]

That's a bit harsh. He's probably one of the two most insightful posters when it comes to the draft on the whole forum, let alone the Freo board. We all have players we rate that others don't, most of us go on about stats in the WAFL when talking about performances because very few of us can get down to the games, Chris isn't the only one. Bit harsh in my opinion.

How the heck can you be insightful or rate someone that you haven't even been watching play the bloody game? Sorry he seems like a nice bloke but I can't take anybody seriously opinion wise after that.

Because he would have watched him prior to being drafted.

 

[Chris25]

He lost all credibility for mine when he kept crapping on about Hinkley deserving a call up to Freo and then latter admitted that he was just looking at his stats and hadn't actually seen a single game played for Swans. It was laughable as someone that had the misfortune witnessing him torch the football for the Black Ducks all season.

Fancy finding that post for me? I watch more U18s than seniors, but I saw the odd Swans game. Had to keep an eye on my boy.

Do I have to remind everyone again that Hinkley polled a Brownlow vote? Because I will.

 

[Nickos66]

Tom Swift polled 3, your argument is invalid.

Priddis won a Brownlow - see above.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

jack hannath deserves more games than he got this year ... just saying

Well I never

 

[Silent Alarm]

Hinkley was one of the shittest players I have seen patronised by Fremantle. I try so hard to imagine anything other than him having about four opposition players drilling him into the ground, usually after receiving hands in the middle of the ground, stopping still and twisting his body and neck around to find someone, then getting done. The other memory is him scrapping the ball out of the middle (probably his only positive attribute; he tried hard at ground level and worked his pushed-down-socks off) and running flat out without looking up and then splattering the ball somewhere at total random.

Up there with old Josh Head as one of the players you just swore must've had a romance with Harvey to get a game. Shockers.

 

[Kram]

Because he would have watched him prior to being drafted.

So what it's totally meaningless when he was getting 20+ possessions at Swans and butchering half of them.

Well stick to commenting on what you have bothered to watch rather than the 'odd' game. The bloke was getting a fair bit of the footy but was absolutely doing my head in as a Swans supporter with disposal, only an idiot would have thought he was anywhere near AFL footy at the time.

 

[Chris25]

Maybe you should look at the stats more often, because Hinkley averaged less than 19 touches in his 45 games...

 

[Agenfrida]

mcmanus has 3 sons. one of them should be able to kick better than him.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of those kids ends up being a Freo/AFL player. Watched the "Who do you think you are" episode (before you take the piss, I flew back to WA to visit my dear old mum and it's one of her favorites) with Rove. The McManus' have a good history of footy players and athletes. Certainly a good gene pool for producing a father son selection.

Not on the footy field. Never forget that game against North where he shat himself.

We now have pick 13

The AFL have announced that Melbourne will be awarded band 1 compensation, and have been awarded pick 3 for loss of James Frawley.

[Agenfrida]

It's basically a compo pick.

 

[apuchar]

i hear ya. Heeney, now this. Why would you bother?

 

[Nickos66]

Priority pick by stealth.

 

[Taylor]

Fremantle: Picks 13, 34, 53.... 71, 89 (maybe)

 

[bloke_]

Durdin and Brayshaw must both be very worried

Well they don't really deserve it, but at least the AFL is consistent in terms of awarding the compensation picks.

Yes, even if the system they use is stuffed

 

[clogged]

Why whinge? Melbourne will probably take someone who would have gone pick 80 otherwise.
