B-b-but, Fritsch is skinny and selfish! Watts is going to make us look silly.
Its a haircut you can set your watch to.And he has a dumb haircut!
Pick 13 is such a spud pick. Only Patrick Cripps, Tom Lynch, Daniel Talia, Taylor Adams, Shannon Hurn, Brad Ebert, Bob Murphy, Nick Dal Santo, Ash McGrath, Shane Crawford, Brett Stanton and Jack Riewoldt were taken at 13.

I think it's good we're culling a few - we haven't made too many changes in the last couple of years. Guys like Pig & Melk are getting cheaper by the year and will be on heavily incentivised contracts and small bases. Only thing I'm not on board with, in terms of our departures, is the lack of movement on getting Baker the * outta there.
Really interested to see if we look at a 3rd journeyman ruck in case of injury to either Gawn or Grundy, especially if we're chips in on two rucks. Not inconceivable that we would get a DFA or VFL ruck, plus draft a project ruck.
Matthew Bate was also pick 13. So was Seb Tape, Jesse Lonergan, J.Brander and D.Venables. But all in all, it's been a decent enough pick.Pick 13 is such a spud pick.

I agree, we should ignore every other pick we've made inside the 20 in the past ten years and judge our drafting purely on the one abject failure.If we took him at pick 9, imagine our chances at pick 13
Pick 13's have also played more games on average than Picks 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.Matthew Bate was also pick 13. So was Seb Tape, Jesse Lonergan, J.Brander and D.Venables. But all in all, it's been a decent enough pick.

Low teens picks aren't all that different to late top-10 picks at the end of the day.
if we don't bring in an answer to Ben Brown I'll be melting all preseason until that spud is eventually off the list.Veil is firmly stapled on for some posters here.
We actually haven't seen any trades yet, just speculation. Save the melts for when there is something to melt about.
I've got to say I'd be very disappointed if the incomings for our trade period were Grundy and pick 13. Let's call Grundy and Jackson a fair swap in terms of 2023 output, that leaves us just pick 13 (will be 14) to improve the list that we all know has some holes.
Any future picks we end up with I don't give anywhere near as much weight to. The primary purpose of trade period is to improve your hand for next year, and that's generally how the club has played it too, by trading out future picks to strengthen our hand.
I've had confidence all the way through that we've got another move or two up our sleeve, but the trade week media chat is starting to get to me and I'm losing a bit of confidence now.
Thank you, amen.
I have been saying this for weeks, all our closest competitors appear to be improving there list, getting stronger while we sit on our hands and pat ourselves on the back with pick 13.
It’s as bad as Goodwin game day tactics, change nothing and hope it works.
Three state league players. There's Brodie Grundy, a national draft, a delisted free agency period, and a preseason draft to come.We have lost all our tall depth in Weiderman, Brown and Daw and I am not seeing any plan to replace them. Even Tmac is on his last legs

* it, this is what it said:
