I love it how people reckon they know everything about someone that has never played a game at the top level.

That's true, but, players are usually delisted for a very good reason. We'd probably be able to pick up a tall defender at least as promising in the draft.

Who knows why Geelong got rid of him - I've played with Finno before @ Northern Knights and he is a dead set gun. Easily the best I played with when I was down there and he is only gonna get bigger.

Really is a strange decision by Geelong because he is obviously gonna be a project player - he has to be given time to fill his body out.

-----------

M.Hogg - 2 mts, 31* & DNB. 2/20 & 2/39.
D.Parr - 2 mts, 7 & 7. DNB & DNB.

B grade my arse you'll get dropped soon sunshine.

Regardless pick 28 of the National Draft is not a pick to use on a recycled player. Rookie list or pre-season draft/last round pick of national (depending on what he nominates for) if the club were interested.

That's all very well Hoggy but Knights form means sweet fa when it comes to cutting it with the big boys. Time and time again when playing with/against blokes in the DVFL you think 'this bloke is something special' yet in reality of the players you think this of, only 1 maybe 2 make it to be the best. The players I've really said that about are Chris Stewart, Nick Carnell and Mark McKenzie - Stewart will go this year, Carnell the next and McKenzie has been rookied by Port and Carlton but hasn't really come on.

Basically no matter how highly rated players were in juniors it count for nothing in the big time
