Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
Erggghhh. Your comment is just so ****ing stupid, I cant even handle it.
That "article" is pretty irrelevant now, why do you keep posting it? It reads like a Facebook comment.

It was a silly pick in the context of the draft. Heppell was always the no brain choice, at the members briefing everyone was on him about Luke Parker as our first choice and we know how that worked out. Normally I'd say leave it to the pro's but the punters were spot on, no one had heard of Conca or Batchelor prior to draft night and it turns out for good reason.
Name the sides pushing for a flag these two would get a game for?
All of them, hawthorn, west coast infact west coast wanted him.
Bullshit. Name a mid at either team Conca is better than?
BS jukes how can it be irrelevant when this is Casinos record?
No bullshit, ill have a look when i get home, conca ia a heapa good mid, when he is fit.
Yeah, last years crop looks to be the best we've bought to the club. Most of them have shown good signs, and I hope we get at least 3 good long term players from them.
If you watched Conca play against Hawthorn this year you would see that he was very good. His problem is keeping his body right.
when keyboard savants talk about how they knew player X would be a gun and are far better talent spotters than the professionals. Since rating a recruiter is a numbers game everyone who wants to potshot FJ should acknowledge their own howler. The one where they bagged the Tiges for not going for the obvious talent of Dale Garlett or Butcher etc.
You rate him mediocre I rate him crappy->mediocre. Hardly ringing endorsements. I guess it's just how happy you are with where we are at, there are those of us who are happy with anything that the club does as they believe that makes them a true supporter and there are those who think we are doing some good things and some stuff that needs to get a lot better.Everyone missed Parker - it's why he went pick 40. Sydney thought Jed Lamb was a much better option.
So if the entire industry didn't see the gun in Parker it become's a little
I wonder how Dimma's first draft as head coach affected his philosophy. Tasmanian squibs, Irish imports that didn't last the summer, indigenous boys not cut out for the demands of AFL. He would have reason to prefer the solid citizen.
Every recruiting team has picked a 1st round spud and lucked on a quality rookie. It's a numbers game and FJ is OK, mediocre if you will, a little bit like our team. But he is not crap. That honour belongs to the Shemons and Carltank
I didn't say we should keep him, I said he wasn't crap. He's average, not hopeless.
Because it was written in 2012, with 3 good uncompromised drafts happening since then? Because players develop substantially with 3 preseasons?
Just remember, people are commenting like its just one guy doing all the selections. FJ's ability, especially early on, was affected by lack of funding to his department, especially when it was just him working part time. Recruitment is about a network of scouts covering every game available over 3 years, we're only recently at the point where we can match it with the best teams in the AFL in this area and our recruitment has improved at the same time. Not a coincidence.
You sound like a modern day Nazi trying to rewrite educational text books TO change the history of WWII saying it didn't happen
Apart from Lennon, we really ballsed up 2013... Only 2 years ago
We only really missed Mitch Honeychurch, looks like a shit draft so far.Apart from Lennon, we really ballsed up 2013... Only 2 years ago
