Guys, I keep deleting posts referencing this, but can we move away from suggesting or making juvenile jokes about the bloodlines of players.

This is a public forum and parents of players do read here.

You've reminded me of an old story...

Joel Douglas, the less famous son of Kirk, was performing at the Comedy Store and getting increasingly frustrated by the audience reaction. He started shouting: "You can't do this to me, I'm Kirk Douglas's son!" At which point someone stood up and said: "No! I'm Kirk Douglas's son!." Then someone else stood up, and so on, until the whole audience was standing, shouting "I..am Kirk Douglas son!".

If a bloke keeps Hudson goalless (happened 4 times) he'd be one of his team's best players. There would be no requirement for him to do anything but negate Hudson.
Those days are gone. Now not only are the best defenders negating the forward that are also winning the one on one instead of spoiling. There used to be players who never got a kick and all they did was spoil. Then you have Brian Lake out marking the key forward 1v1 and then getting the ball forward. Then you have freaks like Sicily who can play on a key forward and out make 1v1, leave his man to intercept, run it from defence and kick long laser passes to set up attacks.

Even the Flying Doormat moved from being a pure stopper to a being a more attacking player in the 80s.

I feel like the roos will go for McCabe with one of their first 2 picks.
They need a complete rebuild and McCabe is just about the only key defender in the draft

No chance.

He's not in the top 10 of this draft and you don't use pick 2 and 3 on a list need from an over-reach.

If McCabe was speculated to go around picks 5-8 then MAYBE you could propose this as a possibility. But even then, North aren't selecting him over the guys who will be available. And we wouldn't match at that high of a number.

If they wanted a defender they'd go Curtin, theyre not going to bid on McCabe just to **** with Hawthorn.

Don’t think they will bid on McCabe but wouldn’t surprise me if North bid on Dear, You would have to think that AC would have spent a lot of time with the dear family when he was Hawks Coach maybe even after while Paul was sick supporting the family.
