You don't get too many six foot four (193cm) blokes who can run 20m in 2.8 (seconds), and have the agility he has.
Does anyone have any figures on current forwards in the AFL's 20m times?

Seems like we were very eager to get him last year and good to hear that he has been practicing before we picked him up.

The way the article makes it sound like his pride was hurt at being dropped so he left. :roll: :roll: I'd hope that wasn't how it really happened.

I don't think Winmar is a bad player or anything and i'm happy we got him. He has real potential and obviously we rate him higher than most. But imo at our pick their were better players available. What players did you see play that you think would be better? Well i rate Reid, Vardy, Craig and poss...

Re: Hope it isn't an omen.

The club looses a grand final only to have one of their key players walk out because he over rates his own worth. (J. Shannahan and J Smith for that matter.) I hope Ross knows what he's doing because I can't do 98 again. Loosing guys like Ball Maguire and X clarke might be destablising the list. We...

Well obviously Melbourne did pretty well. But i think the swans did pretty well too considering they got 2 players from the WAFL that will be ready straight away and 2 good prospects in Reid & Rohan. I think North and Geelong went alright considering they both had alot of mid picks they got alot...

Surely based on your belief and his performance we must have wasted that pick. Come back and talk to me when you turn 17 and want to be fair dinkum. Otherwise, you're simply wasting my time.

Okay well the way i see it your reasoning is because those players that Ross recruited didn't perform in the GF picking them was a failure and a waste. Is that what you mean? Yes. You play football to win GFs. You need to be able to perform in finals and in GFs. That's why you exist as a footballer...

That was 2 years ago. He had 3 effective disposals and 4 frees in the grand final so by your reasoning he must be a hack. That's not my reasoning at all.

but il give the recruiters the benefit of the doubt.. Why? How did all the Lyon recruits go in the GF last year? Gee, surely faith in recruitment would be at an all-time low after last year's GF?

Pattison couldn't get a kick in a kung fu fight. Richmond didn't want him. Why, Why, Why did we select him. Would have thought our ruck stocks were OK. another speed demon would have been the order of the day surely ! Seems a bit like Zac Dawson from last year. At the time we had Blake, Fisher, Hud...

Rapt with Smith could be a gun for us... either way it cost us barely anything. Not too sure about Pattison i suppose if King and/or Gardi get injuried we'd be in trouble and it creates more competition for McEvoy. I don't really rate him but i suppose our coaching staff do if they took him especial...
