One of his mates a pre-existing BFNAAK?

Would have to be considering a contact of the sanfl media manager knocked on my door draft night looking for a kangas guernsey for a photo shoot!

He averaged 26+ disposals in his first season - 2009, I think.

Talk about jinx the kid and us.

Could just be Jesse Smith as much as a superstar.

Let's see first shall we? I hate these "certainty" type posts for injury and yet proven reasons.

 

[Psicosis]

Cannot wait to watch this guy play mid in the VFL after a big preseason. Absolutely no rush with him.

He appears to have really low body fat and a pretty good rig (which I don’t know why surprised me, maybe I’m just used to Ahern physiques). Few additional kegs of muscle and we have some strong boys running through the middle with Powell, Phillips, LDU & Simpkin.

Was robbed of the Rising Star.

 

[Lit_Dorito]

This guy is a better midfielder than Phillips. Great bargain of the draft but there is some serious go home factor: look at his post draft interview on nmofficial - not as obvious as Bruhn but there. Wer'e looking at draft picks again for this bloke.

Ahhh..........

 

[Lit_Dorito]

Ahhh..........

Time will tell, just my opinion. Worried is all

Seriously, who was the last player we lost to the “go home factor”? Fact is, we retain the players we want and have done so for a very long time.

Yeah this is true.

Josh Gibson.

I know within Melb but I can't think of another who wanted out so much as him.

 

[Firestarter]

Josh Gibson.

He went home... across the state to Hawthorn?

Yes.

 

[Firestarter]

Yes.

Whether it's want to go home or go to another club desperately it's really the same thing.

Let it go or argue, I don't care.

Different times but. Matt Powell ( his old man) played for cows. Like a wise person said earlier, deal with it when and if

Daniel Motlop, Byron Pickett, Scott Welsh.

shouldn't be drafting blokes with cow lineage

 

[Snake_Baker]

It looks like I'll be canning my first alt account for 2021.

He never existed in my mind

Daniel Motlop, Byron Pickett, Scott Welsh.

Yeah was only joking.

Piss off crow fanboi - your the club that loses players.
That’s why your first 4 picks were from SA this year
