A cautionary tale to the “take the best available tall forward” brigadeNumber 2.
There is nothing wrong with the mantra, you just have to judge the talent right.A cautionary tale to the “take the best available tall forward” brigade
2 goals to go along with 18 marks not bad numbers but yes needs to impact the score board more heavilyTwo goals in two games is hardly alright stats for a 21 year old key forward trying to get back onto an AFL list. You’ve got to way above the level to get picked up again surely.
He wasn’t good enough and didn’t work hard enough - I’d rather give someone else a shot.
Also MSD rules mean we can’t pick Dixon up until the National Draft. Any of the other 17 clubs can though - not sure there’s much chance of that happening.
If we were going to give one of our old blokes another shot it’d be Strnadica. We’re 100% a ruckman short on the list.
Patton was number one draft pick in name only. Chad Wingard was the consensus pick but he told everyone he was gonna request a trade to SA if they drafted him. And then they played together at Hawthorn. Funny how that worked out.McCartin has spud written all over him even before head knocks.
Patton could play, would have been pretty good bar injury.
Nah Wingard was always top 5 but not number 1Patton was number one draft pick in name only. Chad Wingard was the consensus pick but he told everyone he was gonna request a trade to SA if they drafted him. And then they played together at Hawthorn. Funny how that worked out.
Mental or physical injuries ruined both. That risk comes with all selections...Boyd, Patton
Even if he smashes it, the situation was bad for him and us. If half the rumours are true about him showing up pissed and late to important meetings/sessions he needed to be gone for the benefit of the club.
The melts on here will be strong if he does this at AFL level.
(Still 100% convinced we were right to get rid of him)
I went to my local here in Sydney a month ago for a coffee, and sitting there downing a large breakfast was Lance Buddy Franklin. I said g'day but nobody else around even seemed to know who Buddy Franklin is - he just goes about his business and gets ignored.It wasn't going to work out here because there was no slipping under the radar.
He was showing good form towards the end of last year, kicked a bag or 2 for us but he was public enemy number 1 here, over in Sydney nobody knows who he is so he can do as he pleases.
Alot of the Hogan bad boy stuff is overhyped as hell but thats what happens when you live in the WA footy fishbowl, in hindsight we don't grab him due to that but everyone can be a hindsight hero.
He will play good footy for GWS, he probably wouldn't have played good footy here with the media pressure.
It is what it is, we cut him loose and moved on and its probably the right decision even if it works out for him over there.
That's because every one from Sydney walks into a cafe and thinks they are the most important person in the room so they'd have no reason to see who else is aroundI went to my local here in Sydney a month ago for a coffee, and sitting there downing a large breakfast was Lance Buddy Franklin.

Yep, perfect environment for himI went to my local here in Sydney a month ago for a coffee, and sitting there downing a large breakfast was Lance Buddy Franklin. I said g'day but nobody else around even seemed to know who Buddy Franklin is - he just goes about his business and gets ignored.

Looks good in this League Ogre , has kicked 8 so far ( playing full forward) , Quarter to go .Must've finally tidied up his disposal.
Worth a 3rd chance ya reckon, Madas?
Coniglio should have been number 1 but GWS took Patton at 1 instead, Wingard wouldve been top 5 (GWS had first 5 picks) had he not pulled that going home crap
If he is having ankle surgery i dont think he will be playing in 2 weeks.we play bris soon hey? hope he gets up for the clash, I want to see him and Serong go head to head
oh damn I didn't realise it was that soon, what a shameIf he is having ankle surgery i dont think he will be playing in 2 weeks.
