Mitch Duncan & rating draft success.

As the immortal Winston "The Wolf" Wolfe once said:

"let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet"

Ahahah great call

 

[Papa Juggs]

Bad luck Richmond didn't get him.

They would be top of the ladder

Good kid made to look better in a great side.

IE Prismall.

Prismall IS good, he was one of your best players for the second half of last year after he returned from his op.

But a knee-jerk reaction to a carlton loss is enough for him to get kicked out.

Well Prismall should learn how to tackle. He is a typical downhill skiier, rubbish when the pressure is on. Was awful against Carlton.

It's not as if Hanneberry or Duncan have to worry about too much.

Bastinac beats Duncan on almost every statistical pointer and plays in a far weaker side. Duncan averages half a mark and a 1%er more a match, that's it.


Rising star awards should be adjusted exponentially for kids in struggling teams.

How can you comare Sydney and Geelong one was 12th and the other was the flag winner? And we don't have a midfield anything like Geelong's either.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Time can tell a different story and players who look good in their first few games can end up being absolute rubbish..

Very good, you're answering your own BS now.

Trengove looks the best to me. Just so classy. Might need to increase his intensity/ run harder and also spend a couple of summers in the gym, but once he does, he just oozes class. Scully also looks like he will develop into an absolute ball magnet, and Martin looks excellent both inside and outside.

No suprise they went 1, 2 and 3.

Had 8 tackles Round 1.

Had zero against Carlton, and was awful as you say. Think may have had more to do with the fact that he wasn't even playing in that game though.

Lucky that Duncan is playing well, because their first pick Menzel looks like an absolute dud, I mean he hasn't even played a game yet.

He's no dud. He was injured and didnt appear in any pre-season. Thats why he hasnt appeared in the seniors. Played last week in the Magoos and was more than handy.

You should do a little research before shooting off.

 

[DBAH0]

Would there be an opposition supporter that would take Duncan over Bastinac on exposed form?

Possibly.

Duncan "could" end up as a Steve Johnson type of HF down the line if everything goes perfectly, while Bastinac could become a very good to elite hard running midfielder if all goes well.

Depends on what you think is more valuable and what your club needs.

[Rack Watts]

He has walked into a side that can carry him, any semi-decent midfielder would do the same. Zaharakis would look like Ablett v2 in that midfield.

Touche!

He probably meant the Freo game, as did I in my original post when i said essendon lost to carlton but it was freo.

But it doesnt change what I meant, Prismall played pretty well against us i thought in round 1 (with 8 tackles as glassjaw mentioned) but got dropped because of the loss to freo.

I didnt see the Freo/Ess game but even if Prisa was absolutely shithouse he didnt deserve to get dropped based on his performances last year and round 1.

I'd be more than happy to take him back!

So Selwood didn't deserve it in '07?
