He finished 4th at Hawthorn for disposals, 2nd for meters gained and averaged more contested possessions and tackles than 4 times premiership player Grant Birchall.

Grant Birchall played 5 games in 2017.

Just watched the draft, my biggest winner is the Brayshaw family. Both boys drafted, and both off to WA (despite different clubs), genuinely happy for them.

Can you please continue to do that then?

Anyway good ol North wanted Dusty and Kelly but ended up with Billy.

Hey, you're the one that follows me about whoring for my attention.

Anyway, I will view your no comment to the actual thread related comment as a sign of embarrassment on your behalf.

I reckon Hawthorn have stuffed up here. Hartung would still be in your 2018 best 22.

If North had to choose between Birch and Billy they would take Billy right?

I suppose choosing Jed Anderson over Ryan Burton those crazy North people could do anything. :eek:

What does carlton not having any mids in AA contention have to do with us potentially vastly improving our midfield this draft? How did we lose taking dow who was regarded as a top1 pick by some? What's knocks do you have on Obrien who was rated as the best kick in the draft?

If Cripps plays 22 games in 2018, i reckon he'll be AA. Kennedy and Dow are going to lift a lot of pressure off him, which should help his durability too.
Ed Curnow and Murphy still around too to do some heavy lifting.

these poor kids dont know whats going to hit them

their new facility is amazing but the reality is its in a shithole in the southern suburbs like cockburn. then when they play they have travel even further south to a meth ridden cesspool, with the highest unemployment of any perth suburb, in mandurah

all under a coach who values seasoned players over talent youth

mark my words. like i said with weller on draft night, cerra will leave if he's any good. i think brayshaw will too. the only time victorian freo listed players stay in the last say 5 years is when they arent that much chop, as soon as there's interest they're out

freo would have been better splitting the picks

What like David Mundy you mean. You need to let go dude, Ross left your underachieving dung heap ages ago.

Hartung cost them a nothing pick.
He'll be handy as a developed young player as they rebuild.
They have started a major clean out and don't have much on the list to crow about.
He'll be a foot soldier until a better player comes along (or he figures out how to football)

I'd answer this but you want me to avoid speaking to you.

Move along with your life now knackers.

I agree with everything you just said.

All I was pointing out is the kid is staggeringly scared of any hint of physical contact.

He could be very handy out the back of the press.

It all depends on how we utilise him.

Thanks champ.

Huge thanks for Burton as well. :thumbsu:

Also in the interest of good will and best wishes, we are sorry for Jon Hay.

You have a nice day now young fella.
I like you as you remind me of a certain poster named Meltdown Mario. ;)

4. NORTH MELBOURNE: LUKE DAVIES-UNIACKE, midfielder, Dandenong Stingrays

Forget about Jack Higgins, this is the steal of the draft. Mark my words, Davies-Uniacke is a future All-Australian captain and Brownlow medallist. Not enough hyperbole for you? Try this. I would rather Davies-Uniacke at his age and contract than a Dustin Martin or Josh Kelly clogging up my list for a decade.

Value: A+ Team fit: A

believe me i do

you just dont like hearing the harsh reality. when have i ever been wrong?

i got smashed on here in 2015 by the purple haze by trying to tell their fans their teams performance wasnt as good as they thought it was and there were very serious issues facing that side if they didnt re-adjust then. i was abused. i was even told they were statistically the most dominant side of all time at the same point of the season. turned out i was right. fell off the cliff. didnt even make a grand final.

i got smashed telling people weller never wanted to be at freo and was disappointed with the draft outcome. i know for a fact he was massively homesick before a decent freo contract renewal hit his manager. ended up leaving.

cerra is the same as well, similar to balic. brayshaw less so. brayshaw probably stays but cerra is a massive flight risk.

What a load of crap. Weller loved it in Perth and even built a house here. He was here for 3 seasons and declared himself a one club player. It was his girlfriend who was homesick and not him.

When you get offered $800,000 a year for 5 years to go back to where his girlfriend’s family live and become the new poster boy for the Suns, no wonder Freo got pick 2 plus a homesick Brandon Matera in return for him.

Weren’t you the flog that kept telling this board that he was heading to the Saints to play with his hugely overrated brother?

This is why stats are irrelevant and you know nothing about football. Hartung is a soft outside cat, with disgusting decision making, average skills and is just a dumb footballer. Hell he is an athlete not a footballer. He will be delisted in 2 years. Dud

Burton is a gun. I'd back away from this one.
Hawks nailed that draft. Burton could have gone #1 that year short of an injury that was compared to a car accident

Take note of the neutrals young Snakey boy and quit while you are behind. :)
