Draft rumours

[HBFlanker]

North Will end up with at least one, maybe two of Cockatoo, Mcdonald and Marchbank if it falls their way

What a Flog Roo’s is for saying that.

TD, I normally like your posts but his one is on the nose. Poor post, are you having a bad day?

 

[Demonheart]

Just as I started to really warm to taking McCartin the Saints step in.

/sigh

The reality is that I'm happy with any two of the top three. Thank you James.

Just getting bit Impatiant waiting for the Draft

This is interesting.

What basis is there for Petracca to hate Buckley?

When, where & why have their footy paths crossed and what could have happened for a 16/17/18 year old boy to foster a hatred for one of the modern game's greats?

I think Buckley ran over his pet dog when Petracca was just five years old.

A hatred he has harboured for over 12 years.

His pet dog being left with only three legs is a constant reminder.

Whoever gets Tom Lamb is in for some interesting times.

Not a very popular boy with his team mates at the Stingrays.

Looks like a figjam

Been told that his team mates took out a bounty to see who could knock him out at training. Might not be true but by all accounts an a hole.

Teenage boy is a bit of a prick: hardly earth-shattering. Usually an AFL environment knocks those guys on the head and they change for the better.

Or they end up like Mitch Thorp

 

[HBFlanker]

any teenager with a bit of swagger about him gets cut down to size immediately at an AFL club.

A famous story is when Brett Kirk made Jesse White cry on a Christmas Harbor cruise about a month after White had been drafted. White was asking all the players to call him "J-Dub" and Kirk didn't want a bar of it.

Yeah I've also heard the Tom Lamb rumours of him being a bit full of himself. Apparently thinks he's already made it and that he deserves to be drafted. A bit like Hourigan a year ago.

And Hourigan didn't even get drafted in the end!

Yeah I happened to meet him whilst picking my brother up from schoolies last year in victor harbour. Most arrogant bloke I've ever met. This was after he had been overlooked in the national draft and was saying how bullshit it was that he hadn't been picked up. When I replied with "maybe it's your attitude" he told me to get ****ed. I'm glad the arrogant prick didn't get picked up.

If I recall correctly, I don't think he had the best skin folds either.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

I believe this indicates some degree of interest for Nakia from the top 10 pick-holders.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Yeah he was basically fat, he was also a 1 dimensional medium sized forward. Need more then kicking and marking at 190 cms.

 

[cammo78]

Just could of said it better. Like he won’t get to Pick 5.

Petrecca might play for Collingwood in the Future. You don’t know with Trade/Free Agency

Jesus. You're a bit of a defensive flog, aren't you?

Geelong to select Cockatoo at 10

No wonder J-Dub's career has gone so well

Interesting one.

A lot of the phantoms have Two Metre Peter going to the Cats - but after they burnt pick 21 on Stanley, I don't see a need for him there...

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Entirely believable and in true Pies fashion he would have backed back over the hapless creature to make certain.

And Mitch Clark.


Loss of Varcoe a factor?

 

[Chaisa]

Cockatoo to Geelong makes a lot of sense, actually. He's like the sort of player that Geelong love.
