F*** why is so much of the discussion on here about a player we didn’t draft?
Every club has chances to draft these players. Why is our board so fixated on missed chances?
We have drafted very well over the last couple. The youth we have is outstanding when you look at what picks we’ve had available.
Esava, Henry, O’Connor, Narkle and Miers rookie or late picks. And we’ve done well with our early to mid picks as well.
It’d be nice to catch them all but that won’t happen rather than worry about the past let’s look at our future.
Picks from this year to compliment our youth should set us up. They still have quality stars to learn the game from.
 
Thats fair again.. I really like worpel bottom age.. top age he had a more reserved year... but as I said.. if we just looked at it as two rep players on a similar level..one a Geelong kid who capt the falcons ..one a melb metro kid... we built our flag era based around..if the talents were about equitable we go local.. as with Bartel , Ling etc.
You can take from that Wells didn’t think the talents were equal.

Tell me about it. We can’t draft everyone ffs.

Worpel has had opportunities in a shit hawks midfield. Chook is stuck behind some of the best ever.

Because we have footy draft experts and list managing evaluators on here that want everyone to know what they would have done...
All this... In between their last and next shifts at McDonalds. :oops:
lol. Cheers fellas.
Ohh and just give the thumbs down to future Harry Hindsights... treat them like pebbles in ya shoes.
GO CATTERS!!!
 

Any potential Jack Steven move from St Kilda to Geelong is "a long way off", Cats list boss Stephen Wells says.

Four-time Saints club champion Steven and his management have met with Wells but he is contracted for next year.

WHO'S HANGING UP THE BOOTS? Your club's retirements and delistings

The 29-year-old played only seven senior games this past season as he took extended leave to focus on his mental health.

"If it turned out he came to Geelong, we'd be going in eyes wide open and understanding what that would mean to Jack and what we could expect if Jack did come to Geelong," Wells told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.

"But I think that one has now become a long way off.

"St Kilda, where he's contracted, of course, are a good club and if he ends up playing there, I'm sure they'll be doing everything, like we would, to help Jack get back to being the best footballer he can be and happy in his life."

It's good that Well's is realistic and its aware that it may not happen due to the Saints requirements.

The WCE would do well to learn from this. If they can't afford Kelly, then they should just say so, so that he can choose Geelong or Freo. It's a huge time-waste for everyone if they keep kicking tires, but want a discount.

I can't seem to find it now, but didn't their list manager say he was "worth more than a second round pick" thus signifying they'll only accept a first or a combination of second round picks? Obviously not worth it to us so I'm glad we're walking away from the deal.

Lethlean wants a first round pick for Bruce, and mentioned a first round or early second for Steven's. He would probably want a first rounder for the injured-McCartin.

I assume he wants to keep pick 6 and use Geelong and the Bulldogs first round picks to pick up Hill... :drunk:

Yep absolutely dreaming, 3rd rounder of gtfo, there was also a story written last week stating that if they didnt trade him he may very well retire (they refused to trade him last year also) so i hope that happens.

I'm saying with Worpel at least, the kid was awesome for Falcons and Vic Country.
The knockers just plain dumb.
Yet he wasn’t drafted until 45. All clubs obviously had their doubts.
