Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

[Wosh]

In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

I remember GAJ crying in his last game, is that who you are referring to? Did great

At least he was playing for a flag. Martin’s last is going to be playing for to help his team tank for a draft pick that they will probably stuff up and in keeping with his general attitude of late he won’t give a stuff anyway I’d imagine

Yep like the last top 3 pick Richmond had. D Martin.

Or the one before that. T Cotchin.

GAJ helped get you a shitty pick. That’s all he did.

So cats don’t know how to draft top picks properly?

We last had a top 3 pick in 1990 is my point. I had just started primary school and I'm now a middle aged man.

We've never had a top 3 pick since.

Close game last night, eh?

You better hope you don't get caught up in another Tiger champion avalanche then CTTF. If only we didn't have those top 3 picks, you would have 2 more flags.

You mean Max Holmes. Right.

Hawkins was an expected top 5 pick that you got for pick 40 under the f/s rules.

How would we? We’ve not had any since and it’s the only one we’ve ever had

 

[Cleansweep17]

Pick 2 is looking good. We’ll probably draft yet another player better than GAJ with it. Wouldn’t be too hard.

So? You got Richo under the same rule.

Well it would, considering you’ve not done it once

That's not Geelong's fault though, that's how the rules were back then.

Carlton haven't had a decent father son selection in years, and we will have to pay a hefty price for the Campo twins this year.

That's the way it goes.

Also nor sure if Tom Hawkins was ever projected to go top 5 in his draft year in phantom drafts.

 

[PhatBoy]

Not our fault the Bowden brothers didn’t turn into world beaters

No but you can’t boast about Cats drafting skills when they had the biggest advantage in the history of the game short of using brown paper bags and roids.

Seems this thread has had an almost adrenal injection of life for some reason in the last 14 hours and I’m struggling to think of a reason why that could be

What advantage is that, exactly? Did no other clubs have access to this rule? Did your 800 goal key forward drafted under the same rule magically not get drafted under the same rule

Will need about three G. Ablett Jnrs to dig the Tiggies out of this mess.

Let's just hope it's not another Tambling, Oakley-Nicholls, Fiora, Pettifer, Vickery, Conca type top 10 bust. Not sure the AFL will be as generous with priority picks these days as they were last time to help the Tigers of Old out of their mess.

Ask the AFL, that’s why they changed it.

We made a dynasty. You didn’t, that’s the difference.

 

[STPer18]

You calling a 4-year period a dynasty won't make it true no matter how hard you want it to be so. Regardless, the Tigs managed to turn their AFL-gifted priority picks in Deledio and Rance into one premiership combined, Geelong's mastery of the father/son rule with Hawkins+Selwood landed seven combined premierships. You have to understand how funny these sorts of arguments look from the other side of the fence.
