You got me. I'm terrible at reading things that aren't actually in existence. It's my secret shame.

1. You had it as a broken wrist, someone else said he fell through a glass table and severed a tendon, now it's a broken arm in a skating accident. In any case, how is it a red flag? Kids ride skateboards, and occasionally fall off.
2. Hangs out with a colts teammate, before said teammate was in any trouble.
3. One of our more knowledgable draft experts said fitness wasn't perceived to be an issue at the time.
4. We have no way of knowing how they went.
5. Where did you say that?
They were all there except #5. Wrist/Arm/Forearm, you really want to argue about that definition? Now you're just being facetious. Who knows what really happened, there are so many stories anything could have happened. But I stand by my comments, you can attempt to explain it all away as coincidence. Clearly, the club made an error.

What posts? In what thread?

I've never seen Marlon Pickett play. As I understand it he's played about two league games for Souths, during that time I've been in Victoria. Am I supposed to be pro-drafting him or against it?
I think that was my fault Fivey, was trying to get some more info in the WAFL thread about Pickett from the Swans supporters and Masto took exception to it being asked in there.

I'm not explaining it away as coincidence, I'm explaining it away as being almost completely within the realms of your imagination.

I appreciate that you're standing by your comments. I think that's your problem, you insist on standing by your comments even when they've been completely disproven, and even when they contradict your past comments.

Well then, lets have a friendly wager? If Newman is delisted, you stand down from being a moderator. If he is re-signed onto the main list, I will quit bigfooty. Seems fair?

I've said elsewhere that my feeling is he will be delisted and possibly re-rookied.

So you talk a big game but when push comes to shove you walk away. Any 1st round pick that is delisted (even if re-signed to the rookie list) must be considered a bad draft pick surely.
Thought I made my position pretty clear...

So yeah, in hindsight we could probably have picked up a player at 23 who didn't do all that stuff, and who has less than a reasonable possibility of starting the 2014 season behind bars. I don't have a problem admitting that.

What I do have a problem with is your assertion that our recruiters should have somehow seen all of that coming, and picked someone else.

So let me get this straight because I'm really struggling to understand your side of things.

A teenager that has a non footy related injury, has an ok tank that needs working on to get up to AFL standards and hangs out with a footy mate that hasn't been in any trouble raises red flags for you?

What about Luke Mcdonald we can bid for him, is he worth pick 6?
Will be an interesting one, good raps on the kid and it would force North to match the offer and bid their first rounder as well. The danger being if North calls our bluff and doesn't match the bid we end up with McDonald who might ask for a trade to North at a later date anyway.

Ahah, thanks for that. That's solved the mystery.

Turns out all I said was that, in relation to a suggestion by someone that no-one would get drafted without having played a full season of WAFL, that our recruiters have been generally criticised for not rookie-drafting Lewis Jetta in the same circumstances.

I can sleep easy now.

guys im excited about this draft i wanted us to get pick 6 after we couldnt make top 4 which was after round 4 or so, this draft is deep enough for us to hit jackpot, guys i dont think some of us truly understand how important it is to execute this, we cant screw this up. A few good moves there and there bang we're back up there next year if were predicted to win a flag this year what has changed in 6 months time?

I wouldn't know because they got deleted for no reason.

The post where someone asked about Pickett, the post where you said that no-one would be drafted without playing a season of WAFL, and my post about Jetta have not been deleted.

Your temper tantrum at the thread not being moderated in the way you desired, where you posted game stats of random WAFL players to attempt to prove some sort of point, were indeed deleted.

There was no tantrum. Put the posts back so people can see for themselves.
