Gee bandwagon-jumper much?(It's alright everyone is welcome aboard!)
If you back through the forums I was virtually the first one into Sheppard this time last year too. Even before it emerged the club was taking him I was trying to convince everyone how much more complete he was than Jetta and Lucas.
Hoping for a repeat this year
hellz yer
Ive changed my bandwagon every week without fail. Cant make up my mind in this draft
I went atley to polec to gaff to heppell.

If it was the 11th, it must have been one of the unwritten rules that Patronij broke.
The rule put into words would say: Ye that jump from one bandwagon to another, credibility does not reside with thou. Thy bandwagondry shall be punished with ye burning of thy previous bandwagon, and thou shall be labeled along with such heretics as CelticPride.

Is there anything Shuey can't do?
Well this is funny.
I am guilty then. Initially I thought Heppell in a big way as I saw him as a Goddard type player but then after reading a bit more on BF and through the papers, draft coverage etc I shifted to Gaff.
I think this was based more on our needs and also IMO we draft too many bigger taller mids who are 188 > 190cm and would rather a smaller more agile midfielder at pick 4.
Initially I wanted Heppell also because I could see him making our best 22 early next season as he already is a good size whereas Gaff may get some games next year but will take longer to bulk up. So I was being a tad impatient to see results from this draft ASAP.
Either way I will be very happy.
Gaff for mine.
He wins the BnF playing just 7 games?
Yes please.

Yes please.
How can that happen?
Must be a pretty shite team
Read the Herald Sun article.
The charges are definitely not shite and are predicting their most successful draft year.
Gaff is just that good.
We are in a pretty good position this draft, whoever we pick up Heppel Polec or Gaff im pretty sure most of us will be happy to have that extra gun mid.
It will be like the Judd Ball Hodge thing all great players but one of them might be god mode.

Its very much another Chris Masten vs Cale Morton scenario. While you could have made the argument Morton was a more talented player - Masto had a much more clearly defined role at AFL level (despite Woosh not playing him there). I feel Heppel is going to be another Cale Morton type who although talented will struggle to find a niche at AFL level IMHO.
Yeah, always a bit leery about stuff like that. The year we drafted Shuey there was another bloke from the Chargers who did exactly the same thing. Did not get drafted and not wroth much now, so big pinch of salt on that one.
Regarding the Heppell/Morton comparison, I get the same impression too, though I think Heppell looks like he can stack on the weight a bit better to become a proper HBF/defender. There was always teh theory taht Morton would play all over the ground, but he really doesn't have the athleticism/agility, which is part of the query with Heppell. Does his midfield play translate to AFL, or is it more a juniors thing? He didn't seem to run through lines a lot on the footage from the champs, going more with the long kicks and loose man play off HBF (again, similar to Morton).

Interesting how confidentially they write that. I wouldn't be against Gaff though, especially now that the interchange rules are different and endurance is more valuable. Also, Id be slightly concerned if we took another HBF and tried to turn him into a mid.

I think recruiting based on the new rule would be a mistake - and I don't reckon clubs will do it. The rule will only last a few years i reckon.
On Gaff - god I hope if we do pick him up he ends up being decent - the idea of picking a bloke at 4 with the name Gaff who ends up a dud isn't worth thinking about.
I hope we dont make a "Gaff"

That's the bloke! With a name like that it's a wonder he didn't get picked and head up some poor club's marketing drive!
Gotch X? We do.
