I wonder what excuses the pies will come up with for drafting a pair of duds in Thomas and pendlebury. Once again they had early draft picks and they blew it

Why do you think that these players are duds ? Now I am not a Magpies supporter but I seem to remember that most of the "mock drafts" had Pendlebury at least going fairly high in the first round picks.celtic_pride said:I wonder what excuses the pies will come up with for drafting a pair of duds in Thomas and pendlebury.

Bit harsh. I think Thomas will turn out to be a good player. A Cole/Shaw type. Surprised he went top-8, let alone #2. Not sure about Pendlebury- probably would have made 8th to 16th. Perhaps the Pies hierarchy know something about these 2 footballers that the rest of the football world doesn’t.

Mate, wait and see. Thomas > Murphy easily. Murphy only went one because of the attention on him after his decision not to go to brisbane. He is not that good and certainly not worthy of a number 1 pick.celtic_pride said:I wonder what excuses the pies will come up with for drafting a pair of duds in Thomas and pendlebury.

And your pick 4, Kennedy, hahahahahahahhahahaahha. You have wasted a good pick on a merely average player. Kennedy is a younger version of Nick Holland, who certainly doesn't merit pick 4.
I would rather Pendlebury than Kennedy, and that is in all honest.
Your drafting was far worse than ours last year.

No mate. I'd have almost taken Brisbane's first pick at 1, Thomas 2, Murphy 3, Ellis 4 and Pendlebury could have gone anywhere from 5-19. Kennedy also should have been 10-20 bracket, certainly not 4.Funkalicous said:So how did you rate the draft then?

Interesting, because we now know that both the Blues and Hawks had no intention of using either of their first 2 picks on Thomas. Most pencilled him in to go between 8th and 15th
The general consensus
1. Murphy
2. Ellis
3. Kennedy
4. Dowler
5. Ryder
After the top 5 it was a little less clear
The Blues and Hawks still can’t believe the Pies took Thomas at #2 – it effectively meant the Blues picks 1 & 4 became 1 &3, while the Hawks 3 &5 picks, became 2 & 4. Thank you Collingwood. Looks like the Pies used their 2 top-5 picks on Shaw/Cole types. Old habits I guess.

Actually Parrot, Carlton rated them as:
1. Murphy
2. Kennedy
3. Hurn
4. Ellis/Ryder

I know but I was referring to the General consensus in the non-Collingwood football world. BTW I’m wrapped we’ve got Murphy and Kennedy – easily the best midfielder and KP forward in the draft by a huge margin.
I love this thread...it's like watching Aussie Joe Bugner going toe to toe with George Foreman...they use to be good but now they just look like fat old men...

The "general concensus of the non-Collingwood football world" was that it was an even draft.parrot said:I know but I was referring to the General consensus in the non-Collingwood football world.

That the general concensus of BigFooty-ites was that Ellis and Murphy were sure things to go 1 & 2. What the collective BigFooty says is about as worthy as what Mike Sheehan says!
FWIW, the only Collingwood opinion which matters is Derek Hine's which was:
1. Murphy
2. Thomas
3. Pendlebury
4. Ryder
5. Kennedy
6. Ellis
You may get a chance to see young Thomas play this weekend. I did last weekend and I can tell you that he's a gem!
Are you definite that this was Hine's exact ratings , I've read differently.FIGJAM said:

Dermot "Hood" Brereton said Hawthorn we're planning on taking Thomas at 3, yet you are saying that they didn't rate him that highly.
Interesting that Parrot knows more about Hawthorn than a guy involved with the club and its draft making decisions.
Micky Malthouse's list so far this year:
1. Matches @ night
2. Shot Clocks
3. Bibs
4. Chris Connelly's under pressure!
5. Last years injuries = a slow start this year
Greatest post ever Parrott, year long entertainment as Micky changes the subject from the Pies onfiled performance.

Parrot and fellow lemmings getting in before the Carlton history is r*ped by the Southport Sharks/Blues. Hands up who voted for the AFL plant that is Ian Collins? Nice bit of deflection Parrot
