It is extremely strange that when there are to be 4 players picked between our 1st and 2nd pick that we would miss out on 4 players.
Who would have thought?

Surely there’s a couple leaning on a shovel, staring into the hole you’ve dug yourself into?

One thing is clear. We have to get this Lalor into the gym. He's puny. FFS somebody get him a donut.
Real question is whether we will get to 1000 pages by end of the 2nd draft night.
Which one are we getting ? The donut or the celery ? I keep forgetting after the Dimwhits entered the scene.
Saw a Champs game against VIC where he kicked 3 goals and played alot up the ground, all the way to defensive side of wing. His decision-making and disposal was good. 16 disposals & 6 inside 50s. Didn't see him shirk the issue as one or two have been saying. Can't discount his 11 goals in 3 games for middle of the road VFL team Essendon either with no prior experience. How many of our tall forward in VFL kicked bags? Watching what highlights there were of him, I'd say he did look slow in mind to react at times when it hit the ground and probably question marks on his consistency but just don't see the stand out quality of any of the tall forwards in this draft. He also spent some time rucking. So will be interesting to see how far clubs reach for the Armstrong, Shannahan, Faull & Whhitlock's of the draft.
We're taking the puny one. I'm certain. I dunno why the other kid is in the picture. Must be Lalor's friend or something. But meanwhile PRE has to take up a collection to get urgently needed donuts to Scrawny Lalor. His mum must be worried. I know I am.
I didn't think much of his Champs form nor his VFL form, tl. As for shirking I don't care. Meh. He can be sensible if he wants. But you're right - he gets up the park. He works. Good 2km. Can catch it if he gets a look.
There's not doubt he looks useless at times. But eh. He looks smart others and he can't be faking that. He might be alright.
I reckon after pick 6.
Pick 7 to 25 could go in any order.
But the top 5-6 are stand outs.
This draft could be another 2004 draft for us.
Did we have some running joke about players farting in a coach's face? If not we should. I'm proposing that Smith dropped all of his entire 500g guts into Morro's eyes. And that's why Morro potted him. ("Battler who would be suited at Cartlon.") And we've all seen Morro's eyes. Scarred for life.
It's funny because it's true. I'm just hoping for a B grade tall in this draft and I can live with Shanahan and Whitlam Minor. But FFS not at #11.
I only saw highlights of Champs VIC game and that was decent output imo. A couple of excellent inside 50s and a handball goal assist to go with his 3 goals and up and down the ground for 16 disposals & 6 marks. Just one game though. Hard to gauge those with not much footage.
Your his fan, tl. You've done homework. You might be right. The restivus have been ignoring the *smile* out of him.
As for spook, he keeps blaming me but he hates the kid. It's pathological. I just haven't done enough homework.
Shanahan is your man? We might get him.
