Thoughts on the Essendon Game

[Mismatched]

He has just pinged a goal from 50 to put the lions within 4 points, clinch moment in the game. He is something very special, and will no doubt push Danger for his half a dozen brownlow wins as time goes on.

I tell you what, Watts, Naitanui, Hill, Hartlett, Hurley and Yarran would all want to turn out to be pretty special players, as most look like doing mind you, because otherwise there would be some pretty searching questions made of the recruiting departments for not picking Rich. Having said that I can understand why he fell and that is that he probably doesn't have a lot of improvement left in him, what you see will be pretty much what you get and quite frankly thats pretty good. It'll be interesting to see how he goes in his second year, with a little more attention, especially when the likes of Black and Power have retired, but gee, to be a KPF at Brisbane with Rich delivering the ball...

Don't know where else to put it, but did anyone else see Fletcher's throw on the goal line yesterday? Didn't want to rush it so he throw it around the goal post with one hand and caught it with the other, of course it wasn't paid.

He has issues with goal posts. Has been reported for shaking the goal post. A known post offender.

you say that, but Tippett is almost certainly the best KPP from what was called the best KPP draft ever - what number did he go? a lot lower than no.7

Yarran will be the standout poor pick from the top 10 imo. Not trying to have a crack at the Blues here, but my view on him hasn't changed since first seeing him play in the u18 champs; should've gone in the second round, not in the first half dozen.
