Luckily he is not a potential #1 pick.
His old man was a good footballer In his own right. I was at the game Paul kicked 6 at Carrara in that record breaking game in 1992.

I cant remember ..why didnt he get to 100? Concussion issues?

TB might be the type that slips into our pick range. If he has the Combine type data we like , it would not surprise if we look at him ..even if he is not technically a FSon.
 
Something is helping good teams stay good and bad teams stay bad despite draft and salary cap.

The thing it gets back to for me is that performance is a function of context/purpose and leadership. You need leaders to prove clear objectives and roles to players and to be able to clearly articulate why that purpose is important. If you're chucking kids into a leadership and structure vacuum, you're gonna have a bad time

Interesting. I suspect performance is relevant to several inputs, and its probably different in different sports. What works in individual sports probably needs adjustment in team sports. Humble talent is probably a good start. Someone that comes in , swinging his sweng because he has been a gun all his life may work or may blow up. It depends on the player. How did Selwood come into the group in 07. Id could only imagine if Rowell was coming into our system how the expectations and pressure would be different, for good or bad. He seems like a ripper but not every talent kid benefits by that expectation. Then again... what is the right way to go for a kid like JUH. It seems he might not like being just one on the list

Injuries I think.
 
We are not tight on picks we have a future 1st and 3 2nds. Look we do need to invest in the draft but ruck is the hardest position to draft and weve failed at it for 10 years and good young rucks carry trade value. Freo will probably want clark and a future 1st (thats if they are even willing to trade darcy at all) and id pay that but i get why some geelong supporters wouldnt.
Good point PO, I admit I wasn't considering our future picks, only this years. It is genuinely difficult decision, a lot may depend upon the availability of merrett, or do the cats make the draft the priority over Darcy.

First line in the recruitment plan. Who wants to come to us. Then who do we want... and then how do we get it done.

First. A big hello to Darcy ..and find out if he wants to move.

If he does then it may or may not get done. It took Ablett 12 months to get back.

but I doubt a trade for Darcy will be purely about picks.
 
Just read that article again. It mentioned knees. I cant remember him strongly. Funny how you can get blanks on some players and other one remembers strongly.

Reading a description by Ed Pascoe from Draftcentral. ..he sounds a promising kid.
Paul could play back and forward and was used at both ends of the ground. He could take a big mark too.

reading this ... the report of the fall of Roman Collingwood empire... the part the I found interesting was.... the players wanting Beams. I wonder if tehy were asked to pay for him with a cut in their contracts..


It sort of reminds us that the cap is just as important as the picks you give up. I only hope we have it all neat and tidy.

Word I've heard is that Selwood wants one more year. I don't think we worry about midfield FA until the end of next year. Get games into Narkle, Holmes, Clark and hopefully Stephens next year.

Probably a smart way to go..when players are not getting games... however we do tend to go early if a player pops and say I want in. If Hopper said..yes.. would we say... no?

If we do the dance ..does JS say enough ..or does he want another year no matter what? If we were more like Haw... we would tell him that we love him but go and play two years at Gold Coast. We cant do that..if he wants to play.. then I cant see us saying no

In the end Ling knew the way to do it.

Yes I understand that but if he gets another season in I don’t think in our time we’ll see a GFC player beat that
I could see Hawk going another 2 or 3.
