Draft Watcher Young Talent Time 2014

[Trav 20]

Anyone got further word on these points?

Ask and ye shall receive:

Petracca’s TAC Cup coach Darren Bewick believes the No.2 pick was the biggest steal, saying “St Kilda would regret not taking him”. With Christian in bed, the who’s who of the draft converged to talk shop deep into the night, but it was the bubbly Petracca family who were at the heart of the action. They belted out a rendition of the Demons’ “It’s a Grand Old Flag” theme song and celebrated mum Elvira’s birthday in style after her youngest son graduated to the AFL. Dad Tony was thrilled at the irony of Christian going from a Saint to a Demon...



Don't be too down mate. I'm sure Paddy will be far better than you're expecting.

The word on Petracca is he's keen to get to Collingwood & was told to pull his head in by Acadamy boss Ablett. Anyone got further word on these points?

I had heard the same but looks like Melbourne didn't flinch. Good on them I reckon.

We picked McCartin for a reason.

No amount of trolling will help erase from memory the following - Travis Johnstone, Colin Sylvia, Cale Morton, Tom Scully, Jack Watts, Bleade, Tapscott, etc.

Or 27 spoons.

As I said, I'm sure McCartin will be better than you expect.

Shit happens.

In the time that I've been alive, I know which club i'd rather have supported.

One if us is trolling here, the other is pointing out that those who support Melbourne shouldn't throw draft shaped stones, or any stones for that matter.

I see that you're referencing my post where I offer my opinion on McCartin, months out from the draft. I'm glad my opinion was completely ignored on McCartin by our recruiting team. What do I know about a bunch of TAC cup kids. Gloating that your team selected the player my team didn't isn't much of a boast.

Finally, stop hijacking Chris' thread.

Gday Chris.
As our resident W.A scout... thoughts on the two lads we got today would be much appropriated .
Both boys seem to be high risk, high reward types.

Chris lives in SA.

Chris lives in SA.

Sorry , my mistake.

 

[nofearbrowny]

Chris what South boys do you think will be drafted out of Caleb daniel , Keegan brooksby, Brett eddy ,tom fields and Adam guiden ?

3 out of 5 ain't bad , and I thought you knew the sanfl guys haha

The fact remains crystal clear that some people continue to perpetuate the old myth that Ross doesn't play the kids, when in fact - it's been debunked over and over again. But then, that's what you'd come to expect from a jaded Saints supporter.

lol the bloke states kids are not getting many games under lyon and without a doubt backs up what he says.
id suggest if you wish to debunk the so called myth you come up with more than just a broad statement.

The irony being - his stats backed up my statement.
