I will have him. He is small, but he will put on weight playing in the big league. He can still grow too. Gee, he can play.

Also recon big super massive losers were freo... Picking up Johnson and Bradley I feel were massive mstakes.. Add this to Solomen, plus Harvey and R Shaw as coaches and we have an essendon B team... What a joke..
If i were in charge of a club and hired a coach, the most important rule would be you are not to recruit a whole bunch of players from your
ex-team... particularly old washed up ones in soloman and johnsons case.
Addmittedly Lyon has poached a few swans, but atleast they are younge.. and were pretty much free.

We picked Fraser Gehrig with 57joffaboy wrote:Saints easily the best result overall
#9 McEvoy - great young ruckman, huge tank, great leader, will play ruckman or CHF
#26 Schneider and Dempster from Sydney - two premiership players
#42 Stevens
#58 Frasier Gehrig
#70 - Connors
#90 King and C.Gardiner
So we picked up a
quality young ruckman
a promising mid
a quick young mid hampered by injury
three premiership players
a two tme coleman medallist.
Who has done better?
Nobody.
A great result (on paper) for the recruiting team.

Correct. Rejects cut from a team that was struggling. Our players from Sydney weren't de-listed like those picked up by Freo. Harvey will be exposed. Don't worry about that.Sobraz wrote:Also recon big super massive losers were freo... Picking up Johnson and Bradley I feel were massive mstakes..

Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Anyway as Joffaboy pointed out...once you factor in the trades.....effectively the 4 players we gained for pick 26, then the Saints are the biggest winners this year.
McEvoy is a good pick up....as would I think would have been say any of the first 14 odd picked in the draft.
He blends well with our later picks (and our 2006 draft selections;Armo, Howard & Allen) and so far this year our draft and trades have EXCEEDED my hopes.....
A couple of good rookie selections will just nicely top things off....but again with what we have already secured I am more than happy.
In terms of kids the two main drafts (have secured a ruckman, 2 mids anda KPP. add to this last years rookies....and this years whomever they may be.....and we would seem to have good and balanced wave of kids coming through.
