What concerns me greatly about FOS is the thought that in 4 years time we'll potentially be discussing yet another injury setback and discussing his return from injury the following season with predictions his average possession count will skyrocket from single figures to the mid-teens.
If we...
Stats averages for Smith, Draper and FOS for their 23 and 24 years for comparison (if anyone can tell me what the DC column is for, I'd be most grateful):

If we draft FOS, I'll support him wholeheartedly. I'll still fair dinkum SPEW UP if we do. He's so high risk IMO. Low possession count, injuries, seen him get caught htb a few times trying to do too much.
I'd MUCH rather go with the safer option in Smith (if he's already gone, then...
Smith or Draper. Please. Pretty please.
The more I see and read about Smith, the more I want him. Very different beast to Cripps, but given his role, he could be the ideal replacement in a few years time.
And I just want to put it on record that I can't for the life of me see what the...
Is there any reason why there's no talk or indication of us chasing Tom Barrass? Surely he'd be a much better fit to our needs than Houston, and cost less.
Spent a few hours last night checking out this years top end draft picks. Having done that, I am ALL IN on trading 12 & 14 for three if it means we can secure Draper. He is EXACTLY what we need in the mid.
Cripps - Big bull
Walsh - Balanced endurance beast
Draper - Explosive breakaway speed...
There's a rumour going around that if there are 5 non-Victorian teams in the top 8 at the end of the year, the lowest placed team will be removed from finals and replaced by a Victorian team. From what I've heard this will be Essendon based on the fact that they have the longest streak without...
Every team has a blip on the path to September glory. If it wasn't for the umpires completely swinging the momentum of the game in the third quarter, I suspect we would have seen another comprehensive Essendon victory.
The Gabba is done. Hemmed in on all four sides with very little room to expand. It is though worth a fortune being in the position it is. Surely it ain't rocket surgery to sell it off to offset the cost of a sports precinct at Victoria Park? Build a brand new, state-of-the-art multipurpose...
Carlton's best is the best in the league, but they very, very rarely reach it.
Sydney, Port, Geelong, Melbourne and GWS all tlin the same bracket as the Blies.
Throw a blanket over all of them. Tight race.

Half way through the year I predicted we would only win one more game for the season, against West Coast. I'd given up COMPLETELY on the team and on football.
I've never been so happy to be so wrong.
I've been saying for a while now that we had the team to compete and go the distance. The...
Utter joke that the AFL is wheeling out these geriatrics. 40 years ago they would have gone alright. Why not get an age appropriate band? What would be the average age of the attendees at the GF? 40, give or take? Maybe 35?
How about maybe bringing in some talent that made it big THIS...
