I seriously can't see why Worpedo wasn't higher rated. He seemed to be able to do it all. I think he was captain at the Falcons, lead like a leader, won contested ball like something out of every St Kilda fans dreams etc. He even had an image that made him hard to miss. I think he must have developed slower than others because he was very good from what I saw.
I asked Knightmare about him and he thought he was just a bit too plain to get excited about, he didn't have many tricks and was just an extractor or words to that effect. He still thought he'd go in the 20s though. He played TAC like he plays AFL.
Okay plugs... I reckon both would get a game in our side at full strength and the point was that they were absolute bargains.

I thought your point to me was 60 extra possessions. Anyway the one thing we do well is the bargains. I’m not sure you can deny that. Our problem is the best draft picks that should hopefully get stars.
At trade/ draft time we should try and get ruckman with a bit of experience {trade} and pick up a project ruck {draft}
It's almost like you're arguing for the sake of it
I wish we could find 2 x A grade midfielders with picks in the 3rd and 4th round... that's all I was saying, strange that you can have an issue with that sentinment given your position on how mids win games of football.

Not sure I’m even slightly arguing for the sake of it. You said hawthorn do well with bargains that would get us 60 extra possessions. I pointed out it wouldn’t and just said we also do well with bargains. You aren’t denying that but fall back to the old chestnut. People are allowed to knock the club but others are allowed to stick up for the club in certain areas. I’ve done both. Our bargains have been good. It’s our good picks that haven’t been so good. I’m happy to find a grade mids in any round. Might be a bit early to suggest Scully is back to a grade or warpol is a grade when both dunstan and Ross get more of the ball than them this year. Maybe we find a bargain ruckman with a rookie pick. What about Steele. He is a mid and didn’t cost much. Membery cost nothing. Roberto’s cost nothing.It's almost like you're arguing for the sake of it

Yeah but unlike say clarko, who takes the onfield performance hit of playing inexperienced raw 'headless chooks', for the sake of longer term development (even when fightingit out for top 4/flags)...
- ross always has and always will pick plodders at their ceiling over less currently capable, but higher development potential kids.

Anyone got the audio or transcript from the Billings interview? Paywall won’t allow me to access the page.
Unless the said first ruckman is happy to sign knowing that he will most likely support a young, up and coming ruckman.
It’s a bizarre theory stating we should recruit an inferior player just because we have someone already playing in that position.

Yep why bother when we can keep Longer.

Don’t think so. It isn’t like a winger or a mid. If you have plugger you don’t get dunstall for back up. If only ff can play like only ruck can dunstall doesn’t want to be in the seconds just as Goldstein doesn’t. It’s crazy when only one can play. And if for some reason we played 2 we would be forced to play Goldstein in the ruck for 80% of the game because he is an ordinary forward. How does that help the development of our 23 year old most promising ruck

Richo said they were scared how good Billings would be in his post match interview. Don’t shot the delivery guy.

He was just praising how good Jack was today & how good he could end up.
“He’s improving all the time we think it’s quite scary where he might end up”
Can he sign on the dotted line already?!

Billings is a crab. We should let him walk to another club if we wants more money. We need draft picks.

That was last week after he got the shits and shitted up the field. You are so last week Birdy. He just made himself look a $900,000 a year player again.

I would love to see him perform against the better clubs. He’ll get paid well either way though.
Yeah that's his next step he needs to take. Although I don't think he's been bad against the better clubs, he had good games against West Coast and Collingwood, it'd be great to see him have a game like that against one of the best teams.
