The way you phrased it implies that Wells deliberately overlooked Goddard, Lever and Durdin because he knew Cameron Delaney (or someone else) would be available in the rookie draft. I'm pretty confident that's not true.

Hopefully he won't get foot in mouth like the young fellow who just got drafted by the Blues

Agreed- it's very unlike the Cats and probably more unlikely when you consider our relationship with the Roos.
Smacks of people jumping at shadows.

Very happy, was contracted and North would have re-rookied him with their last pick so happy to get in first.
Is another injury prone tall for us but prior to recent injuries was very promising at VFL level and on ability I rate him better than his brother who has had a great year at St Kilda.
We definitely needed a KPD so it's a very good get that might pay off, for little cost.

No, that's the way you read it. I never said they deliberately overlooked other KPD's just to get this one.

What is it with picking injured players ? Really isn't there enough injured players at this club over the last few years

I'm going to assume no gentleman's agreement was broken and we decided to let him him go after picking two key defenders in the Draft. But I'm not sure I agree with that decision if that's the case. I think Cam Delaney had more potential of the two Delaneys (and just ask a Saints fan how happy they are with their Delaney). I think you've pulled off a great pick here if he gets his injury situation back under control.

Sorry this is a business, not a centre link queue.
If you required him that badly you'd have kept him on the list and not taken the risk of losing him.

I love the choice... We love an injury prone player. Can see the potential there though. Hopefully he can get fit and be good come 2016 or 2018-2019 I assume he will get the josh cowan rehab program.

I hope we did, Im sick of being the nice guy team. Its about time we stuck it up someone, and made the rest of the clubs realise we won't be just a walkover. Im sorry it happened to North but I'm glad the club has some arrogance.

Makes a nice change from being bent over every trade period with getting poor picks

When you put years of development in and senior spots are limited, you rookie them and hope they can leave the injuries behind. Every club does it and other clubs steer clear. Unwritten law.
Fair enough if North told him he was no longer required (something I'd highly doubt considering our list manager said on Friday we would be rookie listing him)

We didn't get bent over in this trade period. Next year you'll change your tune.

Buddy for pick 21 which we used on Stanley saids otherwise.

Then you don't delist him if he's a required player...simple and too bad. That's the risk you took.

That's your prerogative if you don't rate Stanley and think it was a bad deal. I'm saying you'll be eating your words. Bundy needed to go anyway.

I agree that Bundy needed to leave, however I don't see the potential in Stanley he had one good game in his career so far.
Nowhere near worth pick 21

I'm sure you'd be having the same view if the roles were reversed.
Anyway as you were.
Well it sounds like you guys have been greedy and karma has finally bit you back after you guys stole Thompson from us all those years ago.
we've kept injury prone players including Menzel, Cowan and Vardy on our list to avoid other clubs pinching them. You should of done the same if you believe he is worth it.

I would say he's had a few "good" games but that game you speak of was Outstanding!
Just a little too inconsistent. Hopefully he can turn that around and have many more like that wonderful display against Freo. He's still young, so there is nothing to suggest he can't
Fingers crossed

If we had delisted Menzel with the view of picking him in the rookie draft with our last selection I think other clubs would have jumped in ahead of us.
If you want a gentleman's game, play golf.
