I will never jump off.. that's impossible. I have been there since 1991. I can't see us winning a flag before the 30th anniversary of our last flag but surely the club has to/needs to win one by 2030!things about to turn this time mate. after being ultra competitive for most of the period from 2000 to 2017 (I read somewhere around our GF year that we had the 3-4th highest winning % this century) but clearly without having anything to show for it, this time IT IS different.
We have never gone a full rebuild before so the last few years has been a first for all of us. Only once ever in our history had we missed finals for 3 years (1994-1996) the last 7 years feels like a long long time. But its now allowed a handful of elite or on the way to elite players and a HEAP of very next level down A graders/B+ types (B+ is Soli, Fog etc so pretty decent quality)
And we will be back in the finals for a good 6-8 years (minimum - similar to Lions / GWS recent period) with young list profile.
Please dont jump off now

Hey, it helps us forget about the real issues in life at times which is a good distraction.
I dont think its a good distraction if you really are waking up in a cold sweat !!!!

Sounds like you need to find something to distract from the crows
If it is Draper.... Does he play round 1 in the guts?
If we pick him and then play him at the waste land of development that is half forward I'll be pissed.

Where did Pepsi Nuts play Curtin?
Id be surprised if he played R1 in solely in the midfield.
Doesn't he have some injury or condition we will have to make sure he's over? Back defect.

Interview yesterday he said he was over it
I'm happy for Hamish to default to Cal Twomeys phantom guide for his R1 picks from now on. To be honest, I would he happy for him to go by Nightmare at this point.Now time for a Hamish special
It's already a Nightmare.

A bigger deal out west.
Probably not, seeing we're expecting Rankine and Soligo to get an increase in minutes and Peatling to force his way in. Could start on a wing though.

This poll has given me a list of 14 names I'm happy to play poker against.

Haha, you might want to see how the cards ultimately fall before celebrating! (Even though recent ‘intel” says you are probably right)This poll has given me a list of 14 names I'm happy to play poker against.
it has been done to death but curtin wasnt ready early days, was underdone. the mistake was playing him KPD. he also struggled in the midfield at AFL level (despite strong sanfl form), but looked at home forward.

I hope so. With him, Welsh and the other recruits it will make for a very good off season for a change.

ok final quick analysis before heading out for much of the day:
- the vast majority of all votes since C4 has advised Crows get Draper at 4 have been...Draper at 4. Hopefully C4 hasn't been programmed to be a double agent !
- results currently are around 67% Draper (vast majority at 4) and 20% for Smith (slightly more at 4 but more even split)
- Josh Jenkins #1Fan the only 'other' voter. Interested in thinking here mate or is it just a 'catch all' type vote?
- thanks to all for voting with around 150 votes but incredibly NOT ONE person has predicted FOS at 4 . Many have voted with the exception of a couple of well known draft watchers who haven't put 'kahunas out' for whatever reason.

And seriously someone needs to write Twomey a good hard email to let him know he has STUFFED his Plantom up this year
I can see for the first time him getting it very wrong, starting with pick 2. Am convinced Kangas either take Tauru or more likely do trade with Crows as they do NOT need another mid.
In fairness a very hard year to call for Twomey but get one of the first few wrong and has cascading impact with multiple changes. Interested to see how he goes.

North should take an elite player at pick 2 then trade one of their other mids for a tall later

He seems absolutely certain now of his 1 and 2 predictions.

Twomey, The Age, Herald Sun (VIC) are all running with the same top 12 picks.
Would seem to imply either;
1. Word has firmed up and clubs are seemingly aligned with which players are being picked where.
2. They have NFI and all are just coping Twomey

Probably 1.
