Well, Curtin played midfield late in the season and he was pick 8 let alone a pick 4.

This is what you said
They are the midfield group leading us next year.
Pick 4 wont be part of a group leading us. I wish it was so but its not . Stop this fantasy of thinking Nicks prioritises youth

Yes, most of them.
He'd give a lot of attitude to the AO crowd (early days at brisbane)
Hell of a time to break the winning big games at MCG hoodoo.
For everyone saying our start killed us think back to our draw with Brisbane early in the season. We were basically on equal points, and it was seen as ‘an elimination final’. The draw was seen as being bad for both teams and each team’s season effectively over.
We ended up bottom 4 and Brisbane are playing off in the grand final.
Should tell you about the grit of the two different teams.

Amazing stuff. Especially since someone declared after week 1 that Brisbane couldn't make the grand final! Ha ha ha ha.
Gotta feel for GWS. Should have beaten both these teams.

Since I don't look for media bias to provide some false affirmation of my own opinion I'm happy for Hinkley to keep escaping media scrutiny.
Hinkley's Ghetto Father routine might work during the week but it bit him on the arse selecting and then not subbing cooked players like Dixon and Boak.

It is even worse than that - after the draw we were 12th (ended up 15th) and them 13th (they end up 5th and now in a GF).
What do the cheerleaders on here have to say about that?
They probably say see how close we are, we drew to a grand finalist.
Kane Cornes: "Port's issue is their list, not the coaching. You're not going to win a Prelim at the SCG with Ratagoulea, Zerk-Thatcher and Dixon in the side"
You mean, two players they specifically targeted using draft capital, and a bloke who could barely walk?

He's right and he's wrong.
The list is nowhere near what it's made out to be, but yeah Ken wanted them.
The missing pieces.
All they needed was some KPDs.
One was worst on ground
the other was abandoned as a KPD weeks ago because he was even worse.
It's delicious
Same blokes Kane lauded when recruited?
so bris down 44ish in the 3rd quarter in the SF and down 25ish in the 3rd quarter in the PF.

They now have self belief.
I was saying to Geelong supporters at the game at 3/4 time
- 1) Geelong had a soft lead into the game - us, Freo, St Kilda (that should have rung alarm bells), West Coast and Port Adelaide
- 2) Brisbane were match hardened and been there before
- 3) given they only just lost the GF against Collingwood last year they had no qualms about the G. If you can get within a whisker of beating the Pies at the G in a GF, you are bloody good.
I mean, is the coach not responsible for picking the damn team?
They've got no one else to pick apparently.
Last year didn't Ken say something like "you should see the other guys?" re: team selection?
He did.
And looking at the Reserves side, he's right.
They get SPP back next year which will mean they don't have to pick McEntee or Evans, that'll improve them.... but not enough.
Are you sure about that? Fake news
Cornes was equally critical of Zerk-Thatcher, who has requested a trade to Port Adelaide, saying the 25-year-old is a player who "has goals kicked on him for fun".
"All of a sudden, Essendon love him, there's a three-year deal there for him," he said.
"Port Adelaide loves him … He's going to be a good SANFL player if all goes to plan.
"If all goes to plan, he's a good depth player that plays 12 games for Port next year.
"He's not a starter for a top-four team … he has goals kicked on him for fun."
That doesn’t sound very complimentary all.
Actually you couldn’t get much more of a negative angle than “kicked goals on him for fun and good sanfl player”
Not much on Esava, just saying he’s not worth pick 24.
