Geez, talker than you? What is he, 6’6” or something?I wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up playing quite a few seasons, hopefully for us. Had a bit of a chat to him Saturday, came across as a real happy go lucky fella, was very much like an excited new draftee , was surprisingly taller then me too tt
Marlion strikes me as a guy that could play till hes 33 -34 thats another 5 -6 seasons look at Sheds he is at his best.
And then there is Burgoyne who is 37 and Gazza Jnr this year is 36 ?
I am assuming here Bristiger24 .that the bins you are putting out are from your house and not someone else?
Don't compare him to Podsiadly.
He was worse then vickery.
If he didnt get injured in the 2011 GF, collingwood wouldve won.

Pick 16 Sydney: Cody Hirst (Eastern Ranges)

Pick 18 Essendon: Pass
There was 12 picks before us, so i would say 12 team passed on him.
Thought some of Pickett's disposal was pretty ordinary on Sunday, a couple straight o opposition or feet of team mates but overall he's just such a presence. 20 disposals and 8 tackles was a great result. To me he seems like the perfect Graham replacement. Similar type of defensive midfield player but better skilled and finds the ball easier.
I thought he played well for his first real hitout in the midfield against quality oppo. A few errors as he adjusted to the pace but did far more good than bad.
Dimma seemed happy post match.
Dimma seemed happy post match.
Has that gift where he looks like he's gliding across the pitch and spaces magically open up for him. He'll get caught a bit early on but he'll adjust to the space and become that little bit more evasive that will leave the opposition players tackling each other.
