Imagine bumping this to claim prescience on a guy who was showing plenty of positives before suffering a PCL followed by an ACL.
Stay classy.

Forget the spoons,
A) watching the decrepit Geoff Edelsten sitting in the coaches box in a paid seat next to Malthouse as Mick was using the club to get the games coached record while the Pies rightly thumped us
and
B) watching that idiot Shane Rogers read out Blaine freakin Boekhorst's name with a 1st Rd pick
were my lowest points as a Blues supporter
Memories of that post still makes me, and others, laugh.

Lol this thread is a great bump to look back on with the benefit of hindsight.
Some users that didn't want to draft players that become stars and on the other end of the spectrum, blokes wanting their clubs to avoid players at all costs, only for those fears to be realised and then justified

Can’t complain too much at the end result being involved in 2 premiership’s and has had two big finals matches and one not too bad final
Prelim 17 vs giants 14 disposals 4 goals 6
Qf 18 vs hawks 16 disposals 3 goals 3 tackles
Qf 19 lions 7 disposals 2 goals 6 tackles
His issues that had tiger fans wanting other players instead are still there he doesn’t get much ball but dimma loves his defensive side and he definitely gets more chances than others would
Also looking at stats he’s never been the same player since breaking his foot against the crows in the 17 flag.
Before the broken foot multiple goals in 11 out of 43 games highest amount 4 in a prelim
Since the broken foot multiple goals 8 out of a further 47 games

Think Will Phillips is a star. Him and MacDonald I'm confident are the two best players in the pool. Would be 1 and 2 on my board.
We will never see what he is like after a full season. Always injury riddled but kudos for keeping a long term injury prone player on your list.

How many full seasons has Mitch Wallis played in 10 years?
B) watching that idiot Shane Rogers read out Blaine freakin Boekhorst's name with a 1st Rd pick
were my lowest points as a Blues supporter
The thing about Boekhorst @ #19 was that he had more genuine quality traits than plenty that went after him - Goddard, McKenzie, Mckenna, Nielson, Webb...
The worse pick up was DVR @ #28 , who outside of a good left leg had nothing at all going for him.
Upon my viewing of the TAC that year, I would have taken Miller or Maynard at one of those picks and had said as such in '14.....but not Lamb.
None. But he also has talent so that helps.

2019 - makes sense - you weren’t here in 2018 when most on your board wanted him out of the club.
I was here, just didn't make an account. My existence isn't tied to my BigFooty account like some. I also forgot that a small number of people opinions were everyone else's.
I didn't want him gone in 2018, never did. But please keep bringing up irrelevant things.

Rubbish. Hardly anyone on our board wanted Wallis to leave. Most accepted though that he wasn’t likely to crack our midfield and therefore wouldn’t begrudge him if he wanted to take a bette offer and play midfield somewhere else. He was touted by most on our board as showing something forward back then as well.
Relax. He's just a North supporter who is salty that nobody else thinks Vickers-Willis has a career in front of him so he brought Wallis into it.
Just a tad rich from you. I guarantee you that you have never seen Vickers-Willis play a single game. Watch a player during a game before making a judgement. I don't think he will ever be an amazing defender, I think that he will be a serviceable player.
Only concern is the depth and hangtime on his kicks which may be a weakness in the big leagues. Otherwise, he looks like a contested beast who can also play as a solid winger.
Here they come
He's around 180cm I believe. Plently of room for growth.
Huh? You make a statement like that, expect criticism on your uninformed opinions. I don't care if you're trying to troll, you ain't a good one to say the least.

Game of gang up here. I didn’t want us to pick EVW at the time and I’m very comfortable with my judgement from what I’ve seen since when he’s played.
I’m sorry this offends north supporters. I’ll try to censor my opinions if they don’t play to your insecurities in the future.
