I'm nor a big fan of soup so im good lol.

You eat soup and then get hungry 10 mins later.

 

[Crow till I die]

He could also get that at WWT if he plays League which was on the cards given he played some Reserves this season.

he could - but being with the Crows, it will be a complete season against men

 

[Crow till I die]

Nope, He'll play for SA U18's at the Nationals and for the AFL Academy in their games.

Even better - most of a mens season then against his peers in the best U18 comp in the land

If we pick o'sullivan or leake with our first pick I'm going to become completely disinterested in the afl. I'm not saying they aren't good players but I'm done with this club ignoring the midfield. It's complete *ing trash. When we come up against good sides like gws we get completely *ing obliterated.

and the happy clappers are like.

It's the exact reason mattymac was done with this club. Enough is enough.

Preying we take O’Sullivan and/or Leake if it puts you at rest

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Wow. Didn't see that coming.
Wonder if he wants to get drafted to us or something.

I would imagine, the only way the AFL would tick-off on Welsh playing at the Crows, would be if we have already committed to him under father/son

Otherwise, every AFL Club VFL affiliate would have draftees playing for them as well

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Nope, He'll play for SA U18's at the Nationals and for the AFL Academy in their games.

AND .....if not picked by the Crows, Welsh will play for WWT reserves or U18's

Genuine question, why would the AFL have to sign off on something as banal as a kid having a SANFL contract with a SANFL team.

and you'll continue watching kelly, green, coniglio and calaghan do circle work around us.

Because every other AFL Club will want to do the same .....and that would hurt the NAB U18 comp .....plus potentially give AFL Clubs some character insights into player, impacting the draft

Too complex to summarize in a paragraph

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I believe the BF Phantom Draft has McAuliffe going around pick 50 ......3rd round

Those guys are keen watchers also ....as you are

VFL sides have U18s play with them. I dont see any difference.

From the upcoming Draft ?

And if you had it your way, we may end up watching out starting midfield being comprised of Hately style role players who 'fill a need'

Wilson will be better than hately lol.

Luke McDonald and Jack Viney set that precedent years ago. There is no chance the AFL could refute that without admitting there are a different set of rules for Victorian clubs.

Finally something I agree with you on

 

[Brett Cummings]

So you'd trade 10 and 20 for o'sullivan instead of getting wilson, another player and goad?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

They get permission for that too and it’s only occasional

The main sign off would have been with WWT and the sanfl TBH

 

[grundog49]

So you'd trade 10 and 20 for o'sullivan instead of getting wilson, another player and goad?

The question you are asking based on the picks in my head is:

O'Sullivan and De Mattia
Vs
Wilson, De Mattia and Goad

Given how good O'Sullivan is and the limited tall talent on the list I'd go the first option. De Mattia is no steak knives either. In an ideal world 14 & 20 would be the trade and getting Wilson and O'Sullivan but that's less likely.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Where did Collingwood's ruck finish in their B&F?

Have you seen Collingwoods midfield and their ruck wouldn’t be one of the highest paid players at the club. How many games did their ruck play?

Did you read Big Dubs analysis?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Soup's not a meal

 

[Danger in Texas]

Will Dawson will go a fair bit higher than what draft pundits in the main have him IMO.
More upside than any other KPP in this draft IMO and certainly more than Ollie Murphy.

More than O'Sullivan/Curtin?

 

[BRL121]

Have you got your talons extended?

Best thing about it is him now having full time access to our fitness crew, physios and medicos with his history of back issues.

Agreed, also training with Tex every week will be a huge bonus for his development. Learn from one of the best full forwards in the game right now.
