Everyone in this draft is going to be shit.
Everyone in this draft is going to be great.

Called it.

 

[bennymate]

Like the cut of Thursfield's jib. Elite.

Cleanest kits in the league.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Just confirm

Just confirming it’s you who didn’t rate George Wardlaw yeah?

his hammies you mean?

 

[Horace]

Horace would know Frank Rayner. He was the local barber and he would do haircuts at our school on Thursday morning's. He'd ask how you wanted it cut. We'd always say to leave the sides fairly long and cut the back level with the shirt collar. Well, he'd put the #2 comb on and do a buzz cut. If you were cheeky it would be #1. My brother came home one time with a pretty much just a small patch on top. This was primary school and he was known as Kojak till the day he left school.

I certainly do remember Frank, SoS. Had one or two haircuts from him during my school years. And in fairness to Frank, he was better at cutting my hair than my father was, who chose the cheap option of cutting mine and my brother's hair at home.

You knew you were in strife when Dad finished his work and then stood back and always said "well there's only a week or two's difference between a good haircut and bad one". Joy.

But back to Frank. A very lugubrious character if ever there was one. I don't think he ever smiled in his life.

Bloody good pick from Adelaide.

Bolter my ass

Hope you mean Oscar the grouch!

 

[Passmore]

Oh I'll ask old mate then

I meant which posters to listen to, Old Boy……

 

[Roostorm]

What an exciting haul tonight ….add in our 4 other recruits and it’s certainly looking more sunny ahead….look forward to what we do tomorrow night.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

What's Hardeman like in one on one contests?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Wilson would've been awesome and I suspect that's what we were hoping as we looked a little deflated Saints took him but I'm not sure I'm paying F2 (19-23) to move up one or two spots. I'm sure sliding back to 6 and moving up to get Curtin were discussed but the other teams have to agree to it. Clearly GWS or Cats only wanted to shift one or two spots back and not to pick 15. Doubt we put our F1 on the table, maybe that was all a bit of talk from GWS to extract a bit more from the Crows. Happy with who we picked and the balance. Just key forward (can Goad play that temporarily?) and small pressure forward as our only real needs going forward.

 

[Farthers]

West Coke going into the 2nd round with pick 30, yikes.

One of the better ones in the draft.

Excellent closing speed and leap allows him to punch from behind, but he also has good body positioning when in more of a wrestling match.

 

[Makeshift Park]

(can Goad play that temporarily?)

How fast do you reckon he can put on weight? I'm no expert, but I reckon as a 97kg - 206cm prospect he needs another 5kg to be in contention for selection, and perhaps another 10kg before he's a lock.

 

[buttsauce]

Adelaide will be fuming with us for poaching Goad.

 

[gustaaf]

Very solid night. The first 2 were locks, Goad and Dawson are going to take a while but plenty of potential there. Hardeman could impact early.

If we take a pick tomorrow night, kpf or small forward should be the targets.

Perhaps Shaun Mannagh with what was #57? I doubt he'll still be available then, but if he is then we have our small forward who hits the scoreboard. Also the right age profile to add to our very young list.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Sphynx roos_fanatic08 any chance you could post the combine testing data for our new recruits? They all seem like great athletes, it would be neat to compare how they went.

 

[Sphynx]

Adelaide will be fuming with us for poaching Goad.

I think it was probably plan B.

I think plan A was probably Wilson, Dawson and Edwards, with Adelaide likely taking Goad in between.

We get a ruck we rated higher obviously, but lost out on the runner.

We did well.

Goads 1 shorter than Gawn but can move like a mid and jump. Absolutely enormous ceiling if he moves as well with 20kgs.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Someone please edit the Dumb and Dumber poster with Goad and Goater

 

[Smoocher]

I'm loving the melts on West Coke board.

They have just realised they only had one pick in the top 29 and it's gonna be a long long rebuild.

They are cursing that teams that finished above them have had multiple picks.

The Brayden George trade also ended up being 59 and 31 for 23.

 

[year of the roo]

his hammies you mean?

You're claiming to have intimate knowledge of a complete stranger's soft tissues? Time to take (another) spell.

The doubt over his hammies and how he pinged it multiple times was well documented

And has since pinged it

I wanted the safer bet
