Why'd he go pick 6 then? Clearly he was best in the draft and masterful recruitment by pies.
Before the draft there were already leaks about teams ahead of us who ruled him out, and a big part was his medical condition with a view he'd struggle to gain lean mass and potential side effects (he had seperate medical to alleviate the health side of it).
Also since when do we recruit players for a single season especially their first?
Many on here have stated you don't draft players for what they can do in year 1. Hanging your hat on his 2018 and then claiming him a success for our team of which he is gone from for dicking Beakers cup and on top of that had drastically fell away on field shows limited improvement in most areas and went backwards on the score board.
Then over 6 years remains largely the same player says he is a poor selection at pick 6 for Collingwood fc.
To argue otherwise is taking the piss.
It's Essendon after 2001. BTW their most dominant season in history was 2000...
2001 was the start of the reign of the Lions 4 GFs tripple premiership team.
Essendon then proceeded to try top upand lived mediocre before dropping off a cliff and staying there by and large for 20 years.
what I am trying to "spruik" is the theory that pies can avoid an eventual bottom out after the exodus of 30 plus crew by trading and not bringing in more elite youth to help ND long term.
Seems to be a perception the Geelong way is the right way with ignoring the fact of the stars Geelong traded in. Danger Cameron Touhey et el
Tldr is Both ess and Carlton also didn't think what was coming could happen to them they were so good at contending back then
Yep the exact same ha haAre these the same nimrods who after the St Kilda loss in the last round were all claiming they didn't deserve to make finals as they weren't good enough, then a few hours later after Freos loss were onboard the train again saying they were going to win the whole thing?
All good points. But if you look at the league leaderboard for goal average, you'll see Sam Day at 13, who played 5 games at similar game time to Reef. Day has been delisted despite averaging 2.0 goals per game. I'm just not sure goals per game average is a good metric for players that only play a handful of games in a season
It was surprising that Reef wasn't given more opportunity throughout the year.Just crunched the numbers and it was 1.44 goals in an average of 54.3%tog
Still not ready to get excited over Houston until a deal's done, I don't wanna be left disappointed, so hurry up and have a deal! Lol.
Probably just needs something as simple as consistent minutes in the seniors. Instead of wasting them on the likes of Bytel, Long and Sullivan who all look like they're getting delisted.Not disagreeing with the thrust of your point, just highlighting that it’s not as dire as some project. I like the kid, just can’t work out what he needs to make it at the next level. Gut feel is it’s still a tank and a between the ears issue.
How about this:
Port Give: Houston, and their Future 1st.
Port Get: Pick 13, Richards and Lukosius and Pick 36
Suns Give: Pick 13, Pick 23 and Lukosius
Suns Get: Noble, Pies Future 1st and Port's Future 1st
Pies Give: Noble, Richards, Pick 36 and our Future 1st
Pies Get: Houston and Pick 23
Bont? I doubt he'd ever leave the Doggies.So Perryman and Houston this year, LDU and Bont next year then I think we should bring in a few kids just to keep the AFL happy
Well not with that attitudeBont? I doubt he'd ever leave the Doggies.
He got his little win this morning when he broke the Wright news live on air. I watched the clip of it, he couldn't wipe the grin off his face.Odds on Edmund trying to shut it down first thing tomorrow morning?
“But my Carlton mate said…”
Ahhh yes, the keeping score card; Carlton 1 Collingwood 0 call he made.He got his little win this morning when he broke the Wright news live on air. I watched the clip of it, he couldn't wipe the grin off his face.

**** yeah we did!This season despite tons of injuries to key players we beat Brisbane twice, Carlton twice and had Sydney on toast.
If we can add De Goey, Mihocek, Mitchell, Houston, Perryman, Tomlinson and Hayes to the round 24 team then I am bloody pumped.
It largely depends on what that draft pick in this draft looks like.You have to offset that with what it would cost us
- Promising young small forward in a team that isn’t doing too badly for small forwards (hopefully Elliott stays healthy until Harrison gets back)
- Established player at the fringe of best 23. Noble was playing some decent footy at the end of this year.
- Future first.
- Whatever else we have to give up.
sorry not following the bolded.
Saw your previous post as well.
So what is the Blues deal to land Houston?
So on one hand you’re pointing out the perils of the draft and how even top 10 picks can be duds, yet on the other you want us to focus on the draft instead of trading for proven players…
HH with #9He’d have to convince Harrison to part with it and movie to 29
I assume Houston would take 9
