Good god, for a second there, I thought you were going to mention you went over to the freezer section to buy some "DIMMIES"!

I am not a fan of dimmies. Crumpets, yes, dimmies, no.

I spoke to a Bushrangers player who played with the Whitlocks.
His perspective was that both Whitlocks were better than Armstrong.

Horse.

Also made his "debut" for North at 16yo, in the "Battle of Britain".....one hell of a physical game for a 16yo to be playing in!

Swans were too distracted by severe money problems at the time and getting $35k (for Longmire and Carey) was just too tempting to resist.

Bit like this bloke who has no regrets apparently!!!

could have said schallops but our queensland posters would mistake them for potato cakes.,

No confusion if you'd chucked in a couple of dim sims.

For years as a little tacker I would spend my pocket money on Spidey comics, but it has to be said that Alan Moore's and Frank Miller's Batmans beat a heap of the Spidey narrative arcs.

Alan Moore knows the score.

Alan Moore = the Roger

I haven't done a forensic analysis and doubt I will but have a good feeling this bloke has it.

What we paid for him is another story.

 

[speedy]

He could fill out and become a massive unit, or his physique might not even matter in the long run, but I cringe every time I see his narrow shoulders.

 

[DuckYeah]

He looks years away. Future first huh?

Yea, why didn't we get a key forward thats going to kick 80+ in the afl in their first season?

He isn’t “narrow” mate. That video doesn’t really show it but he and his brother are actually quite broad for longer/leaner types. I’d comfortably say he’ll fill out to at least Nick Larkey’s size/shape!

Even from the start of this year the Whitlock boys had put on 3-4kg, so it’s not like he is struggling to put on weight.

If theres a bolter Cadman type next year we may rue that decision

Oh, you're investing in disappointment now to gain the bonus interest later?

Yeh, Its etched in fate. This draft year was a fail of epic proportions.

Also, cadman kicked 6 in his first year. So thats the bar?

If whitlock plays more than 5 games i’ll be surprised.

Cadman kicked 30 in his second year.

woah there, second year? How could anyone wait such a long time for a key forward to develop?
