2016 Draft discussion

[Tassie4ever]

Speaking as a high school teacher, 99 percent of 17 year olds just aren't fully formed mentally yet. Ainsworth will be fine.

What about the teachers?

 

[SizeMatters]

We need to reunite the Schache, Ainsworth and Simpkin show. Amazing chemistry between the three.

What about the teachers?

We're a good bunch at my school. Funnily enough, the only slacker and whiny dead weight in our English staff room is from Tasmania originally.

Gets a round of Subway for everyone on his birthday ya reckon?

 

[Dalions]

Simpkin, Berry and Witherden in the mix with picks 16/21/22.

With Hayward possibly moving up the oder it might help the chances of getting Simpkin, Berry and Witherden.

I teach Maths. Almost have all subjects covered.

 

[Simba Moyo]

May as well start a "Welcome Ben Ainsworth" thread!

Lock him in. Hell, give him #20

It's always to hear that kind of confidence and willingness to come and commit to the Lions. Ainsworth and Schache are going to be a joy to watch over the next decade+

 

[Gadzorks]

Flight risk to Brissie though

I love that statement!

 

[jackess]

I think it will be a let down now if we don't get him.

I also would like SPP with one of our second rounders. There's way too much upside there to let him slip.

That is hilarious. I am a HS Teacher too. Explains why I can post during the day so much

Yeah history/English/geo predominantly.

Part time at the moment due to our young child so just English and a bunch of supers right now. I get three spares on a good day

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Oh boy I'm trying to not get over excited. This sounds too good to be true! We're second from the bottom and somehow have become somewhat of a destination.

It's becoming really really hard to not get carried away thinking about possibilities for season 2017.

Hopefully by saying this so publicly it will stop GWS from picking him anyway.
GWS would know that we want him and now that he has publicly stated he wants to come to Brisbane then that might sway their thinking. Mcgluggage is a good get at 2 anyway if The Bombers take Mcgrath. He has a habit of finding space and kicking goals.
Could actually be a pretty direct swap for Lachie Whitfield if he gets banned.

I got the feeling from what Schwab said on trade radio that 1st selections in the draft had been discussed and basically agreed to when the pick swap was made.

 

[winged1]

So you are all f$%^ing slackers. No wonder you all seem to think you know everything.





*ducks*

Schwab also said we wanted McCluggage

 

[Dalions]

I was thinking that might have been what he meant by saying "dont believe everything you read or hear during trade week.
A subliminal message to Ainsworth maybe?

 

[Back2Back2Back]

I think Schwab was getting jack of journalists spinning crap like it's fact.

 

[chopperduck]

People just read too much into things. We've been very consistent in saying there are 4 or 5 players we like, and we will get 1 of them, which is why we were happy to go from 2 to 3.

Think Ainsworth and Brodie have been our favourite 2 as they best match our needs. GWS wants McGrath, that is no secret. they are also keen on Ainsworth as he fills a need more than McCluggage does. We will take Ainsworth or McClug with our pick 3.

 

[Checkered]

Just going to back to the little discussion I kicked off 3 pages back, that second article has come out where even he has stated that his attitude was off so settle down to the 5 people who didn't like my assessment. The first article didn't portray him in a particularly good light from my reading: negative influence, whacks blokes when he's getting shut out of the game, locks himself in his room for 6 hours being a sook and then being called arrogant. There were a lot of negatives there and not quite as much positives. That second article brought more of the positive and showed that he was learning from it which was good to read.

I like the passion and the aggression and I agree we need it but it needs to be channeled a hell of a lot more effectively. At this stage, we haven't done a great job of turning our young guys in to leaders. It is of course starting to look better but it's still largely unproven that we have the leadership and development around them which could be the difference between a 2016 Mitch Robinson type who uses that aggression in the right way or a 2016 Pearce Hanley type.

What I take from all of this is that Bigfooty is entirely responsible for the declining standards of our secondary schooling.

Or vice versa.
