Drafts Gone By - I was Wrong

[maddog37]

Or maybe there just shit ?

They're

Wouldn't have a clue. Can't say I've ever seen a full game of under 18 TAC/Stat reps. I know there are a few around here who love watching and are knowledgeable in the under 18's but most people just get taken on the hype train. Hopefully those same people aren't punters (I suspect they are )

Ummm we didnt let him go.
He was offered a contract - So to Jones.

Umm was refering to let him go as in the match commity didnt give him the game time last year, that intern made him want to leave

We had an intern picking the team? No wonder there were so many weird selection calls last season

 

[Reptilia]

I was wrong about Lewis Johnston and Darcy Hourigan never got a shot.

Yeah I heard that one as well

Johnno wouldn't even touch a beer when he was a teenager.. I wouldn't be surprised in Johnnos's reaction at all.

Wasn't the draft, but I thought we had coup of the decade landing Justin Sherman. Loved the campaigner in him at Brisbane and thought here we go.....ahhh no

x2.. massive dissapointment

 

[Bazza Bulldog]

4-5 years of Griff + Caleb Marchbank = Boyd ... I hope we're not wrong with this! FWIW I don't think we are.

 

[Some Idiot]

I thought Malcom Lynch would be a gun goalsneak when he kicked 3 against Sydney in a pre-season game as an 18 year old

Initially I was a fan of O'Rourke and was slightly disappointed when we picked up Macrae, but it took about two games to realise we made the right choice.

I thought Macrae would have to play forward for a couple of seasons before slowly transitioning to the middle. I was way off.

I thought Aish was a safer bet than Bonts....

 

[the conch]

He delisted himself, not really the same as us letting him go. He wanted out.

Maybe he felt he wasn't being treated fairly or valued under BM? Not the only one.

 

[Butane]

The story goes he offered Brad Johnson a bag of something on mad Monday and Johnno threw him up against a wall and gave him a massive spray. Was delisted soon enough.

Such a waste of talent

This is a true story.

To be fair, we probably would have taken Peter Wright if we still had pick 6.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

I liked Tuompas

Remembering last year, you weren't the only one

 

[Zephiisdaman]

I was wanting Dayle Garlett, with a low pick. The year he missed getting drafted I wanted to rookie him.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Always been an advocate/fan of kids who have played senior footy prior to the draft, and apart from that I thought I would be excited to see Farren Ray come to the club. Sadly he was a fall guy for a poor season, and he's really only had a solid career rather than being an outright gun. Fortunately I had reservations on Stringer prior to the 2012 Draft eased thanks to a Mark Stevens tweet on the way to the airport (I watched the draft at the Convention Centre that year, I'm watching it again this year having missed last year deciding Cricket was more important) saying he had a taste of senior footy.

He's had a pretty good career, 200 games not to be sneezed at. I think it wasn't a real deep draft that year???

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Not wrong. Both are good. Do you think Wines will be the better player over his career? I'm starting to think it'll be Macrae.

Both will be very good. Win/win I reckon

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Zephi Skinner.
Changed name for him.
Winner

You win.

I remember you and I had a fair barney over him because I thought he was no good from day 1

 

[Hoges64]

I watched Stringers first 6 or 7 games this year and wanted him delisted. Not even good enough for VFL.

Really thought Sherman could push us that little bit further. And McDougall, before him.

 

[dogman]

Thought Tambling would have been ok !

 

[ivan rassmussen]

After his 1933 season, I couldn't wait to see what Alan Rait could do in 34. Sadly after a few games, Tasmania (and the odd ale) proved too much of a lure.

Terry, you've blown your cover here.
