Wouldn't worry too much about his attitude at interviews. When you know your'e going to get drafted for sure, it's pretty easy to interview badly for 15 teams but not the 16th.

The intriguing thing for meis this: can you explain for me how a top 10-rated draftee would be passed on at #6 (Hawks took Thorp194/86); #8 & 10 (Collingwood picked Ben Reid 196/82 and Nathan Brown 194/87); #11 (Bulldogs picked Andrejs Everitt 193/77); #12 (Melbourne took James Frawley 193/81) and #13 (Richmond took Jack Reiwoldt 192/85). Ignore Geelong and St kilda who drafted midfielders at #7 & 9 respectively. That is 6 KPP picked ahead of Sellar. I guess time will tell if you guys have struck gold by drafting a champion forward ala Pavlich or overated ruckman/forward ala Justin Longmuir.

We dont know. We have guesses ranging from ''bad interviews'' to illness at the National Champs to blind luck or even the ''go home '' factor
We hope its the Pavlich model.
The great thing about this is that, although we would still love Pav to come home, we don't need him anymore as hopefully that void has been filled. That said, I'm sure we could use Pav as a tall midfielder.We hope its the Pavlich model.
Chad Gibson anyone?

Troll anyone?
You guys have done well with this one I feel. I was honestly a bit shocked with our first round considering who was on the table, and the fact that you guys managed to get Sellar where you did, is a very pleasing result.
Best of luck to the lad.
Best of luck to the lad.
You can take its as a troll if you like but I didnt mean it like that. Compare the situation, there are striking similarities.
Both ruckmen who were not tall enough, have to play KP. And both have attitude problems. Not big winners on the personality testing apparantly at the DC.
Sellar is obviously along way down the track compared to Gibson. Sellar still a good find at your selection though.
Go ******** yourself.
Right there is good enough reason to ban this fool from our board.
Seriously, that is garbage.
I didnt say it, thats was rumoured and thats what a fellow Adelaide poster said http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6283260&postcount=17
Talk about defensive, worried about it being true?
People please, I am not trolling. I think Sellar is a great pick at 14, you did very well.
All I am saying is that there are similarities. Obviousy just because Gibson was a dud DOES NOT MEAN that Sellar is. I am not implying that.

Klug ok????
you're kidding right? Klug was a fantastic player when fit. fastest hands I've ever seen from a key forward, who was phenomenal below his knees and a very smart decision maker too.
shame about age and injury, quality wasn't an issue.

I don't know, but maybe you can tell me how a rising star winner can go through the whole draft without being selected? especially after his draft camp performance?
or why ruckman - as highly valued as any player type - are just as likely to come from the top 3 picks as they are from the rookie drafts?

certainly a similar age. but surely a 'highly connected' guy like yourself would have more than that to troll with?
wouldn't Ben Reid and his stick thin figure be a better comparison?

congrats AFC on signing me!
Actually you can find it with a very simple search (the 2 words involved are James and Sellar)
Will probably be wanting to take that down though, some funny stuff.
Hmmm... when you go to his "all friends page".... he certainly likes hi sgirls.. that is all I can say.
You mean like Stephen Kernaghan?
A superb example actually!!
He really struggled as a forward, didn't he?
A ruckman in SA and one of Carlton's greatest players ever as a forward.

sorry, I get defensive over 2 players from our beginnings:
David Marshall & Kluggy - both of whom would be absolute superstars if their time was had again.
A superb example actually!!

He's a Bays boy as well!
