incorrect. Glass house implies that I can't handle criticism but was willing to dish it out. However, I was indeed critical of my own team getting that compensation for Frawley many years ago and that my friend is why you applied the saying incorrectly. Further to that, I hadn't even replied...

yeah and I said we didn't deserve it. nor did I complain. Refrain from using terms like 'glass houses' unless you actually know how to use it in the right context otherwise it just comes across as unintelligent.

well considering pick 8 is drastic overs for losing Battle, it's probably not the best place to complain about who you take with that pick. shouldn't even have that pick.

read the post properly before replying.

That's a bad take considering Petty tore you guys to shreds this year, clunking 4 or 5 contested marks, and getting 3 Brownlow votes. Petty had a poor year forward after a limited pre-season but he's already been an elite player in the past which is why the crows offered him a long contract on...

I thought he was 193cm. and most of his goals are shanking floaters and his kicking technique is deeply flawed. He drops the ball from way too high.

I hope the rumours of Dees wanting Armstrong are untrue. He's not a first round talent. Awkward kick and not skilful enough for an undersized key forward.

I don't want to split the picks. I'd rather stay at 9 ahead of you.

agreed but I think this would be a dumb draft to trade up in. If we trade up, we'd have to trade 5+9 which I can't see happening or moreso it can't be north melbourne because they don't have a good enough 2nd pick to give back to us. And either do Carlton.

I think Melbourne may look to split pick 9 to a team like Richmond who have so many picks but may want to come up the order simply because they can.

I would expect the dees to go for Tauru. Jason Taylor generally likes the tough types and the only time that he's gone for soft ones (aka Jefferson, Weideman) has been because we've been so desperate for forwards so I expect Tauru, then Langford and I'd imagine we'd look at Armstrong at 9 but...

Good post. Yeah, I mean Calsher Dear wasn't an early round selection but he sure made a massive difference to their rapid rise. Same with Connor Macdonald but your'e right they didn't have too many first rounders which is interesting. Their trading has been elite as you point out.

I think Hawks have shown that hitting the draft can put you pretty quickly into premiership contention. But yeah, obviously if you win one, it's worth it.

9 players 32 years and older. They're going to be the next Richmond if they don't win a flag in the next 2 years with the amount that they've given away and the lack of young talent on their list.

salty about what?...have you been living under a rock? This is a day of celebration for me. I wanted no part of Houston. Flagpies? Maybe make the finals first. lol

yeah. except one small thing. Pickett is contracted. Jackson wasn't. You also dived down the ladder and gave us pick 7.

hope you've got 2 first rounders :) you guys were saying he was coming this year. And half your players were frothing over him like Serong on the radio. Cringe stuff.

deluded

yep. avoided the question again. duly noted.

I actually agree with you to a certain degree. If you think that Houston could make the difference between a flag and not winning a flag than thats fine. I don't agree that he makes that difference but if you do then I can understand why you're excited about Houston. You won 2 more games than...

where did I say that? can you show me? Sure, Houston is a good player. Is your comprehension that poor that you can't understand that its unwise for some clubs who are no where near the premiership window to chase a good player? Houston will be very good for 3 years. Meanwhile, you've got an...

yeah, because kissing away precious first rounders for a guy that isn't going to make any difference to winning a flag is a dumb list decision. So I'm super glad we missed out on him. Thanks Trac for being a narcissistic sook! So Houston brings Pies from a bottom 8 team to 7th? cool.

no, you said people that think Port would trade him for anything less than 2 firsts needed a reality check. just keeping you accountable to your own comments when the reality was, he was traded for peanuts.

a players draft position is irrelevant. Paddy Dow isn't even afl standard and he was pick 3. There's countless other examples. Jack Watts, Cale Morton, Jimmy Toumpas, all top 5 picks. They lose value after about 3 seasons of producing nothing. No idea why Port paid that much for Lukosius.

we won't know until 5-8 years time. Those names could all be busts for all we know.

'Houston said on the radio he wasn't going'. Man, the amount of times I heard this from Port fans made me tear my hair out.

haha reality. more like you traded Houston for Joe Richards lol. Lukosius, Atkins are both worthless. And the 2 first rounders cancel each other out so you essentially traded him for peanuts. There's some reality for you. 3 months of Port fans talking him up telling Dees fans he's worth the...

yeah ok

yeah, no. 3 months of Port fans overrating the worth of Houston, only for it to be confirmed today with Port giving him away for cheap.

Well turns out he was worth a future 1 after all
