Selling our soul?? How do you work that out. I'm sure you would have like to have had Guerra in your pathetic forward line this year (another reject picked up by Thomas).
Paul Chapman > Brent Guerra
Steve Johnson > Brent Guerra
Gary Ablett Jr, in the time he spends up forward > Brent Guerra

Guerra wouldn't have gotten a game if he was at Geelong.

I would say Geelong sold there soul by offloading loyal players to buy the overrated Ottens.
Loyal players? You mean Brent Moloney, the guy they traded to the team he supported as a child, the guy who's dream they made come true?

Yeah, they really sold their soul there.

However, to be fair, nothing St Kilda did suggested soul selling, however, Black for Fiora and Knobel walking out suggested the souls left without any input from St Kilda whatsoever.

Why would Brisbane pick a rookie with pick 15, pass on picks 31,45 & 56 and then use picks 62,65 & 66? :D
Brisbane can pre-select QLD players with its Rookie selections (similar to father son in the national draft)starting from the last pick and working forward. So 62, 65 and 66 would have all been QLD players. Selection 15 would have been a non-QLD player and they chose not to select any more players with 31, 45 and 56.

"Snickers" what sort of player is Ben Davies, can you tell me about him?
He is a very determined player, runs off the back flank, in the midfield and can push foward. He is a very versatile player, very quick, and i was talking to him a couple of days ago and he is also building up on his frame, whilst keeping his speed up. Quality player, represented Victoria in the Under 16's Carnival, was selected for the Victorian Under 18's, but got injured. He went to Ireland to play International Rules against them....... and was one of the best players over there. Above all of his football abilities, he is a top bloke with a big heart, very down to earth and always has time for his mates. Collingwood wasnt the only club that had spoken to him, there were many others. Trust me...... excellent pick up, and i reinforce again, Congrats Ben you deserve it mate.
