Hardly groundbreaking, but with Sheezel told at the combine, it’s understood that Wardlaw has been told this week North are taking him.

Can’t go wrong with those two. Good gets by north

I'll never understand why clubs tell players ahead of time. They only get one draft night, let them experience the moment.

Also what happens if we get an offer for 3 or 4 that is too good to refuse? I’m not sure their clubs would be telling players this far out.

I thought Wardlaw has significant problems with injury?

He's the only Finnish member of the Jackson Five.

A couple of hammies. A club will back themselves for this not be to an issue. Pies got Trelour fixed.

They certainly did! They traded him to the bulldogs!

Yep!! Dogs got him all fixed up. Wardlaw is going in the top 5.

I would still argue though that the "can't go wrong with those two" quote isn't a good one though since Wardlaw does carry risk due to his injury history. He isn't a sure thing.

Every player ever drafted can go wrong. But if clubs aren’t worried long term about his hammies he is going early. He has played at a level few at his age has.

True, but you don't want another Moribito on your hands, or a Gumbleton.

From memory neither had injury problems pre-draft. Unlike Judd and Selwood. It's a bit of a crap shoot.

Nobody is a sure thing

 

[bird_man]

I think people are using the "can't go wrong" saying a little to literally.

Obviously no one is a a sure thing, we get it

Max king

He came in with big injury at draft so could've been Gumby like. Probably the only Question mark on him though (at the time)

 

[KinderSmock]

Anyone got anything on Busslinger? Do the Geelong rumours have any truth or is it still vague?

Are the link to Geelong only because he gave one of them a medal on grand final day? He would slot in nicely. Steward is almost 30, so him and sdk could hold down that black line for the next ten years

Morabito was flying till he did his ACL. Not sure anyone could have predicted, nor prevented that. His ongoing issues were a mix of odds, confidence, bad luck and management

The link is meant to be because he's a position of need, given Stewart's age. Him and Selwood have a friendship from when he was younger but it's not because of the Grand Final. He gave a premiership medal to Adam Goodes. Some poster said on here that Busslinger was going to Geelong, regardless of the Clark situation.

Could do the Essendon way Johnson never got back from the ACL and Morgan cooked after his hammie issues

It's always a risk to pick a player post injury
