Sorry, was there another club in Brisbane that I wasn't aware of, besides the poorly run Crushers who were full of washed up has-beens?


Because?


I'm sure he was a good scout. I'm just saying it isn't all that hard to sign the best talent when you're the only game in town and it's a thousand clicks to get to the next club.

I was talking, as I asked, if there is a person and said, in Rugby League there was one, with the Brisbane Broncos - Cyril O'Connell who died in 2009.

But you just need to shoot people down so off you go again. Every other NRL club has scouts in Brisbane and relationships with feeder clubs. Collingwood doesn't have a second division team in Perth.

Maybe stop playing armchair psychologist and ask your question clearly, then someone might give you the answer you're seeking.

From a player's point of view, if you're 18 and ready to go... why shouldn't you be able to put yourself forward for a job?

I'm actually all for lifting the draft age, but legally, if a player was prevented from putting himself forward, there'd be the obvious restraint of trade provisions open to a player to challenge the validity of such restrictions.

Just putting the word out that Pie 4 Life is doing a live draft countdown and commentary during the draft tonight on YouTube.

Surely anyone would watch the AFL.com coverage over that.

Thank god for Fox.

To put this snowflake into perspective 50 years ago kids his age were being forced to go to war and at best come home a broken shell of a man, at worst have your legs blown off.

Yes because that’s the comparison to be made

And 100 years before that ten year olds worked in coal mines.....

Toughen up princesses.

I'd rather that comparison than anyone defending someone so soft that is clearly going to have a sook if one of those big bad non-Victorian clubs draft him.

Perhaps if it is so hard, he should just sit out of footy for two years and see whether anyone is interested then once he grows a pair.

Start the damn draft already !!!!
Arghhhhh these three are starting to sound annoying now.

David King now defending this kid for being honest about not wanting to move despite it being a national competition.

On occasions I don't mind King, but by god he is such an apologist.

You answered Melbourne were good are recruiting. Clearly you have no idea at all how the sport works. The Rugby League has no draft, players go to a club based on what a club pays them supposedly within the salary cap - and the club you think are good at recruiting Melbourne were simply paying players double.

As a result, NRL Chief Executive David Gallop stripped the Melbourne Storm of their 2007 and 2009 premierships and their 2006, 2007 and 2008 minor premierships, fined them an Australian sporting record $1,689,000

I chocked on my wine laughing wile reading your logic

Well done , Crows. Keep the system honest.

Good on ya Adelaide

 

[dlanod]

Surprised Adelaide bid on the Dogs' guy, given the $$$ bonus it would've given their pick.

 

[jjami15]

Pick 2 cannot take this long!

 

[M Malice]

This coverage will go till midnight at this rate.

Right, we'll just pretend they didn't unearth the talent of Slater, Inglis, Folau, Cronk, Smith, Chambers and Vunivalu then. And that they didn't identify underutilised young talent like Maloney or Papenhuyzen and give them a chance for regular playing time. All just money, even after they started complying with the salary cap, no scouting involved.

Steady on old mate, wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

 

[jjami15]

Logan should’ve been pick 2

 

[jjami15]

AFL have seen this as a TV event. Watch the first 10 picks take 5mins = almost an hour!

 

[lionshine]

Wow North select Will Phillips.

 

[pulpdriver]

Geez, that's a surprise. Would've thought McDonald or Hollands for sure.
