You did see who made that claim?

B4 you say anymore disparaging remarks about me ......i've stated what i've seen he himself said in an interview ......do some research Bicks instead of simply being a blue eyed supporter because he's a Bendigo lad and probably a family friend .....you've hadno objectivity in this draft, every Bendigo lad is a champ

Said he held no grudges because i haven't fallen in love with his Bendigo boy Berry .......took umbrage last year because i said we'd never take Tucker, again his boy ......didn't talk to me then

He was all over William Drew for the Crows at #13 ......what a crock of shit

Simply has no objectivity

Says today that we should take a 196cm ruckman ......cmon, give me a freakin break please

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Not the slightest bit interested .....i'll do same

Will stop this incessant posting of newspaper articles, which is against big footy policy, on every player in the draft

Bicks liked your post .....doesn't realize you were being sarcastic obviously ????

With all the posters I have on ignore it's simply Bicks posting one after another for me.

What have I done wrong

Via Emma Quayle:

30. Cedric Cox
Defender
Height: 181cm
Weight: 79kg

Cox came to North Ballarat via Camperdown via the Halls Creek Hawks. He played some dashing football in the second half of the season, looking good running off the half-back line, staying in the play to get the ball back via handball receive and putting others into good positions off either foot. Recruiters have only a small patch of form to consider but it is a fairly dynamic patch. He will have a lot to take in once he gets to a club given he's so new to it all, but has already shown some resilience in his life.

Would be a big risk - the type of risk you do if you have 2 picks in the first round (like we did last year with Doedee), or if we had picked up Gibbs. But with Pick 13 and then nothing till Pick 43? No thanks

Just one more please sir?

Nah, I was only posting the players that had some discussions here as possibilities for the Crows.

Good analysis of last year's draftees
Here's the ones after our first pick who were likely in the mix to be taken:

Pick 14: Eric Hipwood
Progressed quicker than many thought, and alongside Schache gave Lions supporters hope in a bleak season. Needs to add strength to his lanky frame, but marks the ball strongly overhead and is a thumping kick. Should get more chances next season.

Pick 15: Daniel Rioli
Played 18 games and kicked 13 goals in a debut season that set a strong foundation for his future as a small forward. Will work on increasing fitness base and should attack his second season with confidence.

Pick 16: Harrison Himmelburg (we bid for)
Drafted as a forward, Himmelberg relished a switch into defence in the 2016 pre-season and averaged 21.7 possessions a game in the NEAFL, before earning his senior debut across half-back in round 17 last season. He looked right at home in his four senior games, where he averaged 13.2 disposals a match playing in defence.

Pick 17: Tom Doedee (we picked)
Showed his versatility as a defender in the SANFL being able to play on small and tall forwards. An outstanding competitor and is fearless when the ball is up for grabs. Has drawn comparisons to Crows teammate Kyle Cheney

Pick 18: Jade Gresham
The small forward impressed in his debut year, playing 18 games and showing the skills to eventually move into the midfield. Perhaps his biggest issue will be building his tank, but once he does that, Gresham's skill, toughness and elusiveness will make him a star.

Pick 19: Ryan Burton
Missed most of the year with a leg injury, but made a late comeback, making his AFL debut in round 21. Played four senior games, including the qualifying final loss to Geelong. Was drafted as a forward but looked composed in defence against Pies. Will play regularly in 2017.

Pick 20: Brayden Fiorini
Injury curtailed much of his year, but the midfielder showed in the final round against Port Adelaide exactly what he was capable of with 32 disposals and two goals.

Pick 21: Ben McKay
The strong-marking key forward came on nicely at Werribee, booting 15 goals in 15 games. Has signed until 2019 and should be in the mix for a senior debut next season, especially if he starts finding more of the ball in general play.

Pick 22: Kieran Lovell
Managed two senior games in his first season and didn't look out of place in the midfield. Needs to work on his consistency, and his kicking efficiency requires improvement. Proven ball-winner who will get plenty of opportunity next year.

Pick 23: David Cuningham
Hip issues meant the midfielder had an interrupted year but he played the final three games of the season. Cuningham can win his own ball and his burst from the contest is impressive. If he sharpens up his decision-making, he could push for a regular spot in the senior team next season.

Pick 24: Ben Keays
Managed 16 games and was used primarily as a small forward. Has a good defensive mindset, and as he gets fitter Keays will spend more time in the midfield, although earning a spot there will be tough.

Pick 25: Josh Dunkley
After being overlooked by the Swans as a father-son recruit, the 19-year-old inside midfielder went on to notch 17 games and play in a premiership. Kicking is the only knock on his impressive game at the moment.

Pick 26: Kieran Collins
The hulking key defender spent the majority of 2016 impressing at VFL level, but managed to make his debut in round nine. While the club is happy with his development, he'll need to improve his agility.

Pick 27: Darcy Tucker
Playing 12 games in 2016 was a terrific result for the midfielder, who finished the year with 22 possessions against the Western Bulldogs. Will be a permanent midfield fixture in 2017 as the club promotes youth.
