Big, aggressive tall forward playing for West Coast. Quoted on Foxtel pick 27. Might have been the type of player we need?

Let's have secret talks with him, offer a 3-year $1M front-ended deal and engage in a little draft tampering. Then we can look forward to a flag in 2012.

Those who selected the list we have instead of that team must be sacked immediately. Possibly even deported.kosifantutti23 wrote:I've named a team of players we should have drafted, let me know what you think:

Impossible as many of these players were picked before out first pick then there is Ablett who is a father son.kosifantutti23 wrote:I've named a team of players we should have drafted, let me know what you think:

But have heard stories that would make you glad he's not at our club. The kid is a complete f***wit, but he is damn good at footy. I reckon all clubs judged he didn't have the character to be able to move interstate without doing something stupid.
Watching him play in the 16s it was embarassing for everyone else on the park.

I heard it was attitude related and that he would have gone high if teams hadn't got to know him a little better as a 17 yo.
It is great speculating on players that haven't even made it and bagging our recruiters. This way we don't even need to wait for a coleman medal to say we knew better.
I remember listening to some c**k saying we could have had Jude Bolton over Lenny as he was a premiership player already. You miss out on some get others. It's like getting married and hanging out at night clubs pointing out what you could have had. It will drive you mental.
