Reminds me of Jamie Bennell. Maybe that's because they look alike but small, pacey, agile... Bennell was like that as a junior.

Personally quite happy to have Bontempelli taken before our first pick.

Hows that music? Thomas Boyd, the price is right! Come on doooown!

But I thought we made a huge mistake not even rookie listing him last year :rolleyes:

Yes but if you believe Twomey, we'll consider him at 11 if he's there.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the look of Pat Cripps' kicking action? When I first watched his video I thought it would be first thing to come up. Maybe it's not a big deal.

Pretty rough having a go at the recruiters about their drafting before the draft. Also, it seems we've ruled out Garlett.

Yeah dude but there's a simple formula for rating a player. Take his original draft position. Have you heard of him? If yes - minus up to 20 spots. If no - dismiss as crab. Ez.

Probably Josh Hill - he was essentially free.

Old news, was imminent 8 days ago ;)

It didn't work for Gaff, Morton, Hill, Sheppard or Dalziell. :( Anyway, as West Coast are showing interest, what is Bootsma like? I know the basics - tall, flanker, skinny... that's about it. Is he any good? What's his style like?

If we trade pick 31 for Yeo, I want a statue of Vozzo, erected, erected in front of the new stadium. If we trade pick 28 for Yeo, I want Vozzo sacked and charged with treason. Some would say I'm being petty. I would tell those people that we need to sack the coach preemptively.

Really? You're unhappy with this trade period? I hadn't noticed ;)

You're moving the goal posts. Originally you scorned West Coast for "ignoring the gaping hole" in our list. Now that you've been told we aren't ignoring anything, you're criticism is that we aren't doing a good enough job with it. You're either stupid or you're trolling. Either way, GTFO...

We probably believe that he is but have sussed out that we can get him later in the draft. Nothing wrong with our recruiting guys having a different opinion to the others.

So, if we get Sheed with pick 11, we've essentially gained Yeo for a 3 pick downgrade in the 2nd round? Brisbane have made it difficult for us but I could live with that. In fact I would consider it a win. *Assuming we want Sheed with our first pick.

I wonder if Elliot knows his dad cooked methamphetamine to buy that car wash.

Have you seen much of Everitt? I can't say I have but I swear he's just a really tall flanker, as someone already said. Like a poor mans Yeo, an older Bootsma or a thinner Schofeild. With that in mind, those numbers shock me. Maybe Sydney bulked him up well.

I thought Everitt was pretty slight despite being key position height? Don't think picking him up will change our need for Brown.

So, Brisbane wont accept our pick 43 because Fremantle have 37 on the table and we're trying to accommodate the Lions to preserve good will and to get the deal done? How about Brisbane do the right thing by Yeo and send him to the club he nominated rather than fighting over a 6 pick...

The compensation from free agency losses shouldn't be enough to entice clubs to let their veteran players go. Sadly, that seems to have happened with St.Kilda and Dal Santo. In effect, the Saints are gearing up for a few years of tanking, with all the trappings that entails, while the AFL are...

You would have to think a large part of Ellis' worth is acting a player coach and being Simpon's man on the inside. Hopefully he plays some good football for us too but I'm sure Simpon wants someone he can trust near the players.

I'm not sure about Vossy and reading this article on bound for glory doesn't help ease my concerns: http://boundforglorynews.com/stay-or-go-the-dilemma-facing-young-lions/

Good pick up. My finger must has slipped. Don't worry, free keyboards for everybody!

We own that 2005 draft: Picks 3, 4, 7 and 13 have all played for us or been on our list. RIP JON.

If we delist just one more, we'll have to take 58. I don't mind this. If we delist more than one, we're taking 76+.

If we trade 24/40 for Yeo and don't make any other trades, you would think only one more delisting would be on the cards. If we make two, it would mean taking pick 78. Not sure that's worth it.

Ah, I'm sorry but that's not true. They talk about both and they even put up a WAFL highlights clip of ours.

Reading the Carlton board it seems as though they would want McInnes for Bootsma. Personally, I would hold onto the project KPF rather than trade him for the project half back. A couple of people also mentioned that Bootsma also had some discipline problems with regards to his weights and...
