Unlkie a few others I hope the Balck Douglas plays this week.

I think he is almost a dead set certainty to play this week as it Meesen.

Lets face it you would have to be a major dud not to be pushing for selection at this stage. We have 12 players on the injury list and those are not 10 bottom list players either.

Excellent report WW. Agree with all of the things that you have said.

WW - Richard Douglas reminds me very much of one Paul Kelly from the Sydney FC when they were th same age - both skinny kids, but bothe laden with talent and courage and leadership abilities.

I said in an earlier post VB could be a future captain of the club. This boy will not be far behind him.

Credit to the boys in the recruiting dept. - they are picking people with real character and ticker.

Unlkie a few others I hope the Balck Douglas plays this week.

Haven't seen Douglas.... but every report pre draft I have seen has without doubt parised this lad in every area.

If the only reason he dropped down the draft order was a perceived inability to put weight on ....then that is to our benefit.

Didn't St Kilda get rid of a young "skinny" Lappin for the very same reason

Footy clubs surprise me sometimes

Pretty harsh on Obst Stiffy considering we are looking for a replacement CHB this week.

logic's not a strong point of yours is it jack?

Have you heard the saying "if your aunty had balls she'd be your uncle" ?

hahaha that aunty sounds dodgy if you ask me.

Hey Guys and Girls,

How do you reckon young Richard Douglas will go this year?

 

[coldfish99]

i reckon hingey should get a haircut like nigel, and bernard vincent should as well because no one would be able to tackle their hair which is becoming a big part of the game these days. girls like wayne weideman and john 'the worst hawthorn player in history' platten had a lot of trouble in their troubled careers because of their over exuberant hairstyles. Q: why did nigel smart, mil hannah and john locke win brownlows? A: because they were bald. i rest my case, coldfish99 signing out.

Very impressed with the lad - excellent poise, balance and evasive skills and good usage of the ball. A thinking footballer.

Only one negative at this stage and that's his weight, although he has put on 5 to 6 kgs and is a burly 72 to 73 kgs.

Personally, I think we have drafted a beauty in this lad, and expect him to play SANFL at A grade level all year, and perhaps threaten for an AFL spot towards the end of the year.

I'm amazed he didn't go earlier than #16 in the draft.
