Re: darling a huge mistake
Pavlich did the same in his draft interviews back in the day .. He basically told the recruiters if he was taken by anyone but the Crows he would leave once his first contract was up .. Freo called his bluff and picked him anyway then went all out to keep him happy over the journey to want to stay ... Honestly though not a hard sell to convince a bloke that living in freo near the beach is better the living in the city of churches ..St Ick wrote:First I heard of that, very interesting. I thought Essendon were the only ones who did that! So pick him up and cop a Gunston/Caddy situation. No thanksst_Trav_ofWA wrote:Let's be honest had we drafted him he would be wanting to head home about now ... Reason why he was overlooked by everyone but west coast was due to the way he interviewed at the draft camp .. Rumour is WCE spoke to him about how to act to build on the "troubled player" line ... All he ever wanted was to be an eagle so he "tanked" all the interviews .. And let's be honest given the scandal of Lovett we were not going to take any risks at all

Re: darling a huge mistake
For anyone who hasn't read it, Emma Quayle from before his draft:
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/j ... 17vwe.html
To summarise, Darling didn't have a particularly good championships, he didn't have ideal KPF size and he had quite an ordinary season off the field. James Sellar would have been in people's minds. John Butcher's first season at Port wasn't very good either. Those were the two famous sliders in the years preceeding Darling.
Everyone bar Collingwood passed on him at least once. Gold Coast passed on him eight times. They had plenty of people who knew him well. West Coast took him with their second pick with a bonus pick. If he blew up, they had another selection three picks later. Our second pick wasn't until 43 and we'd blown our first pick the year before on Lovett. Nobody was talking about us needing a tall forward anyway with Roo, Kosi, Stanley, Tom Lynch and Tommy Walsh at the club either.
With two years of hindsight, yeah - mistake. I don't have a problem with the club passing on a player for character issues though. There's always other good kids out there. Cripps looks like a keeper.

Lance or James??

I aint a snob but I dont bang cleaners wives. They usually stink because of their husband. In this case the lady had no hope.

Re: darling a huge mistake
I remember draft day I was hoping and praying he would fall to our pick and when he did I couldn't believe my luck. Unfortunately we didn't pick him, but hopefully Cripps can blossom into a great player.
But, I'm not sure why people keep harping on about it. It's over, we didn't pick him, move on.
I think it's a little different to those as Darling was rated extremely highly and could have potentially been taken with the top 10, but slipped.doggerel wrote:Sam Fisher at 50 something in the draft. Siposs at 70 odd. You win some, you lose some.

Re: darling a huge mistake
Who gives a Shyte?
We have Pelchen now. It's his second crack at trading/drafting. Last year we all agree we did much better.
Watters came on board at the time of the draft last year and had no prep time. This time he has had a year.
Get excited about our best prep and staff for trading and drafting probably ever you silly old goat!

Grown men. Awesome.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Mitch Grigg was considered top 5 last year but had attitude problems, didnt go til 40s or 50s. Is yet to play a game. In two years if he comes good will we winge we missed him. Zorko was overlooked by everyone for 4 years! Sam Gibson 10 years!!Saintersss wrote:I remember draft day I was hoping and praying he would fall to our pick and when he did I couldn't believe my luck.

On a side note, if I was so upset over certain things said about my family, I wouldn't randomly cowardly bring it up in a thread about Darling. Screams of attention seeking, for a man old enough to have a daughter old enough to sleep with forumites, I would say grow up and be the bigger man as if someone has never had a lend of you grow the hell up!!

What if what if what if, hey what if Dernmot Brereton lived a couple of kilometres down the road, he would have been zoned to St.Kilda.
Unless you can build a time machine, travel back and change history, what's the point in being upset about it.
It happened, it's over, move on, the only draft we should be worrying about is the one that is about to happen.
