We're stoked!!!! Thanks mate.

In regards to Ginbey, is the hope his playing style is something akin to Dangerfield? ( No pressure on the kid )

Would you say all the players we selected in the main draft are (potentially) very high ceiling types?

Personally I think so. Really surprised Long wasn't gone earlier.

 

[Monocle]

“Back in my day it was acceptable” doesn’t really fly for a lot of things.

Neither does helicopter parenting.
Or borrowing to the max from banks just because the bank will lend you that amount of money.

Just because an idea is new, it doesn't always make it better.

While I get the gist of where you are coming from, what you have said is a broad spectrum comment.

 

[Bacchus]

To be fair Trew showed a bit in his debut game against Richmond.

So is “you should embrace a nickname and work your way through it”. Sometimes that might be true. Sometimes the nickname might just be plain inappropriate.

 

[BOND 007]

It’s pretty much irrelevant now, but were Winder and Trew actually contracted as reported in The West or had they merely been promised contracts?

Answered that above

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Anyway, on footy topics…

The Poo does come across as an absolute little s**t though.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Why are we taking Winder with pick 2?

Because if we don't he'll wind up going to Geelong and coming back for two first rounders and a suite of other picks in two years time.

I don’t like the Pieman nickname. Don’t use it, prefer others didn’t as imo it’s disrespectful regardless of what people may think of his drafting decisions

If it now morphs into a sign of respect like “Crazy Vozzo” did then great but I still have reservations about it

Am I going to lose sleep over it or start handing out red cards? No, people are free to post what they like and we aren’t really about censorship here as much as possible

Just consider that it wasn’t the most polite reference to a long term servant of the club

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Why do they call him the bullet dodger pie man?

Because he dodges bullets Avi eats pies Keys

Or, for example in the context of an online forum, an opportunity to anonymously sling sh*t at someone who is not in a positon to defend themself.

Yes, intent matters. But usually the one making up and applying the nickname is not the best person to decide whether it's mean-spirited, inappropriate or welcome.

But that's the internet for you.

 

[DanWCE]

Let's call him Bandit because he just ROB'd the draft.

Too confusing.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I think ROB and the recruiting team generally know what they’re doing. Better than most. They’ve been hamstrung in selecting mids by our success and trading first rounders for players (or multiple)

 

[twce13]

Anus was by far the worst nickname. Hated it.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

The recruitment team been hamstrung for years due to our success. Poor bastards.

15 years since we had two first rounders. Compare that to the loser clubs.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Given the age of appropriateness, if we call him the Bandit, will we need to add a health warning to all posts?

And who are we implying the smoker is and will they sue for cyber bullying?

 

[ArdentEagle]

Seems a good lad.

Doubt ROB would give a rats about BF nicknames.

But, wow, the Pieman has given WCE the best ingredients for a great side in the future, (so far).
Up to Simmo et al how they bake that pie.

Long live the Pieman, rockin it.

It’s literally just because the only insight we ever get into the WC recruiters are those silly photos of them sitting around a table with catering (typically party pies).

Pieman has IMO ended up just being a catch-all term for the WC recruiters in general, rather than being specific to Rohan O’Brien himself, and not (in my opinion anyway) intended to be derogatory towards him in particular.

Clearly our drafting decisions are not all made by one person, and so Pieman has become a convenient way of personifying the group and those decisions.

Even after Rohan’s resigned I’ll still blame the Pieman whenever we draft a HBF with midfield potential.

 

[eagles rule]

ROB followed Collingwood as a young man and his father gave him the Pieman tag ..

We really could have just invited Trew as a train on player, nobody was gonna poach him for God's sake.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

We really could have just invited Trew as a train on player, nobody was gonna poach him for God's sake.

Would we have to pay him out to delist him first?

Then take the pay out back off him if we decide to keep him after the train on period?
