Pies missed out on Troy Taylor who they convinced to NOt go to Gold Coast.

sorry Plugger still better than the stuff Fox are serving up.

Matthew Panos or Dylan Grimes still available - would be very happy to snap either up at 60.

Because that is so exciting.

agreed, why would you want to actually hear who is being drafted, thats so not the point of the draft

Yes I must admit it is exciting watching a club take 2 minutes to make a pick than finding out what it is like for parents when their son hits the big time.

No doubt Melb would have taken him at 18 if he wanted to go...
More likely, his reluctance to do a medical
Wouldnt think so. We were prepared to offer 3 years so I think that may give other clubs a hint.
Simple case of draft tampering pays off as expected.

What annoys me is all the media reports will say - see he was only worth pick 30 etc, etc. But its not true. He blocked them all out. Between the salary and refusing to talk to them. many were very interested. I still stand by the original decision the club made...they can't be forced into inequitable trades. Hopefully this will make the rest of our top players realise this too, and other clubs when we are trading with them in the future. As many have said, the reality is that he may have struggled to hold his place in the team as the year progressed, or we may have lost armitage as a result of keeping him. would love to have kept him, but if you don't want to be here, then go.

Who to put on my two year old's number 14 jumper now????

Number 14 will be put to good use in 2010...it'll be put on a young player's back who actually wants to play for the club. It won't be rested for a second.

60 - Jesse Smith

Super pick up, Saints! Very happy with that one. Still some talent left, too.

Adam Pattison...

Ok, not too happy with that...

Never paid any attention, but he got delisted from Richmond!

Ah well, they know more about him than I do...to say the least.

Not yet.as at end of rd 4

evertonfc · Post: # 861626Post **evertonfc** » Thu 26 Nov 2009 7:44pm

Thought Pattison was a rookie chance, perhaps not in the draft. But there you go. Hmm...

Welcome aboard. Give it your all
