[L_W_P]

Someone on our board said that Harley Balic thinks he will be at St Kilda after tonight...

FWIW

Are Dees fans happy w Oliver at 3?

Not overly, myself. But have all confidence in Taylor's selections.

 

[Prem87]

I reckon have picked up another spud with Pick 3.

Melbourne really know how to waste picks.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Nyuon and okearney surely get rookied

Oliver will be a gun I'm disappointed Essendon missed out on him. Weideman is a far bigger chance of being a bust imo.

Do you come back and read your posts later and think "Yep I'm an idiot"?

EFC might grab Nyuon imo

Do you look at your drafting history over the past 10 years and think "Yep my club is shit"?

Dude just acknowledge the fact you made a stupid post.

Why? It's my opinion that he's not as good as other mids in the pool and shouldn't have been taken so high.

 

[Koren]

Unfortunately Port didn't really want to keep Butcher, Pittard or Oshea though....

Bit harsh on Pittard. Was an All-Australian HBF for the first half of last year.

Oh so you know without the kids even playing games that they are wasted picks? Impressive.

Like Brayshaw and Hogan? Their drafting has improved over the last 2-3 years, give them a break.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Oliver is going to be a gun. Essendon would have grabbed him if the Dees picked Parish.

You want a stupid response to a stupid post: Pick 2 for 2 touches Natanui. Pick 3 for Masten who can't kick. Tony Notte. Scott Selwood, what a mediocre footballer he is. Murray Newman, yikes. How's Brant Colledge going? Thankfully you tanked your way to Gaff, Shuey and Darling because otherwise there's not a lot of national draft success in the Eagles best 22 from recent drafts. Clever pick ups in the rookie draft and trade ins going home to WA have filled over a lot of the gaps.

Or do you want to learn how Melbourne changed recruiters a few years back and have now assembled a much improved record and have spotted talent throughout the draft.

As Molly used to say, do yourself a favour and watch Oliver's highlights video and tell me what you don't like.

A Melbourne supporter giving another club shit for tanking

Disagree, I think they've done quite well in recent years. Their midfield whilst young, appears to have significant depth and talent.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Good on Matty wright for getting another shot through Carlton. Great addition.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Balic's parents offer him $70k to ditch Freo & stay in Melbourne

 

[andana]

Good deal for Balic.
