As Chris Scott said in his surly way when being questioned by a journo about a future list management decision. "I don't know yet, I'm just one vote."

Marshall is a good player, but he might end up another concussion retirement.

Yep. Nathan Murphy talks about how clubs are now very reluctant to offer players with a history of concussions multi year contracts because of the uncertainty around them.

Didn't fly say something along the lines of you know it's a cracking joke if Chris smiles.

I remember the "Fab 5" being splashed all over the back page of the HS. Deledio (The only hit), Richard Tambling, Danny Meyer, Adam Pattison and Dean Polo. They followed up the following year with Jarrod Oakley-Nicholls and a triumphant Greg Miller claiming that Collingwood had stuffed up the draft by over reaching for Scott Pendlebury

Nearly 20 years later and the story about Miller strutting around telling everyone Hine had ****ed up our draft while he drafted Oakley-Nicholls off the back of some YouTube highlights still makes me grin from ear to ear

Marshall is a good player, but he might end up another concussion retirement.

The news said he is fine, no symptoms and is right to resume pre-season.

I still can't work out why they wanted Ratugolea - he's useless.
Ditto Zerk-Thatcher.

And that’s a lesson

Don’t bring in b grade talent to your list

 

[adammania9]

What about holla for a marshall? At 4 or 5?

Holy moly I forgot about him too, probably because in the back of my mind his future looks grim. Hopefully he gets back out there.

 

[SchuPie]

We for needs at 31 and selected McMahon instead. Neale or Lord would have been a better choice in hindsight

Or both

What if you’re replacing C graders?

I thought air had four letters

 

[Football God]

Me after catching up on the last 6 pages reading that we are potentially interested in Perryman, Peatling and Ollie Lord.

 

[SchuPie]

We've had so many of those.
Scharenberg & Freeman instead of Cripps.
Stevo instead of Naughton.
Georgiades or Sam De Koning if we hadn't traded Beams back in. (Chad Warner went the pick before Rantall in that draft).

Every club has f**kups like that, though.

The mistake in 2013 wasn’t just in selecting Shaz+Freeman (apart from them both being NQR imo) it was that we had set our sights on Bont and didn’t completely follow through
When we knew Dogs would select at 4, we should have been packaging 6+10 + whatever to get Saints pick3

Anyone found that serviced apartment we supposedly booked for Perryman??

6 and 10 for 3 and 18

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Would be a nice piece of irony if we succesfully replace Henry with a forward whose grandfather won a Brownlow at Geelong.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Perryman chose to wear 36 at the Giants as a homage to his childhood hero Swanny. Who he also happened to dress up as at a Giants Mad Monday. Interesting.

And who didn't get homesick moving interstate

 

[No SPIN]

I think we can all agree that our drafting department and talent development department needs a major overhaul.

Only to those without perspective.

Didn't we say the same about Murphy?
