I still don’t understand why Broomhead was rookied. I can’t see a place for him in our best 22. Would rather use that spot for another kid and see what we can develop.
KM, what is it that you look for when determining an underrated prospect? Is it purely based on how you rate a prospect and compare it with the ‘talk’ among recruiters etc? Or is it based on potential improvement or other factors which may have hindered their last 12 months and so harmed their...
Wouldn’t it be a surprise if Atu got bid on that early? I don’t think he will be drafted by other clubs and maybe more a rookie selection. But what do I know? I really have absolutely no idea on most of these kids.
Yeah I agree. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Jok seemed to be at his best when in the ruck. He is too small to ruck in the seniors and may struggle to fully understand how to play a role in another position.
However, could be exciting to see him in a forward pocket. With his height, agility and...
That’s fair enough, however, when he initially posted it I suggested he should move it to the club forum. His response was that ‘it’s a free world’. The mod deleted my post. Not sure why.
I bet if Collingwood v Essendon on Good Friday, it will draw a much better crowd. The game is one thing, but you also need clubs who understand how to hype it leading to game day.
Incidentally, I believe prior to Anzac Day being resurrected by Sheeds, it had been canned in the mid 80s due to...
St Kilda are that annoying, very ordinary club that seem to get in your way.
If they select Jok, it’s going to be all over for the kid. They won’t know how to develop him at all.
Well it’s fairly obvious with the comments even on here describing gay activities, that the average afl bogan supporter is going to need counselling when his ‘hero’ comes out.
He was a prick of a guy. I can tell you 9 year old kids were invited to a state of origin game and to meet the players in the rooms. One of the young kids walked up to ‘Mr Whitten’ and asked is he could sign his footy for him. Ted’s response? ‘Piss off’
Of course the teams play a role and make it great; particularly in the early days when it was re-launched.
Just look at the Good Friday game. Poor crowd and poor specatacle. If 2 big, rival clubs had played, they would have had at least 50% more at the game. It would have been far better...
Most years the Lions have a good period of performance (small losses etc) and the expectation for the following year has been really positive yet they disappoint.
However, I think they can get to 10 wins this year and possibly battle for a spot in the 8 in 2020.
Hipwood needs to be playing...
Not sure whether it’s worth hyperventilating over.
Journalism is journalism. Promoting is promoting.
It’s all a game and an incident (relevant or not to the fans) is used to spark it up; bring some drama.
So much sensitivity and PC. If you don’t like it, just move on. 99% of 5k-10k who have...
I’m trying to think of players who we know had mental health issues and changed clubs and performed well.
The only one I can think of is that Hawthorn player who went to north (big guy, not Hay)
You would think next year will be another clean out. Some aging players, some like Crocker who probably just can’t get into best 22.
You’d think the additional salary cap space will land something big!
A club doesn’t delist a young KPP too easily; particularly their first pick in a draft after their initial contract.
I suspect the club felt there were more glaring issues that couldn’t be fixed so have moved on. Not even giving him a rookie spot suggests to me that even with time it just won’t...
