So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and 7.

[citywest]

I knew there had to be a dodgy reason why we would not want to turn pick 1 into picks 4 and 7. Today I learnt the truth and I am very angry but more so disappointed. Before I go into the reason I want to say that I like Richo and I am happy with him being coach. He seems to be a very articulate man and a good communicator however he has stepped over the line IMHO. Anyone know what I am referring to?

[White Winmar]

Why ask us? You're telling the story, so cough up.

[dragit]

Oh god, has anyone got a fork?

[citywest]

I'm just curious if anyone else has heard the same thing.

Yes, you're referring to your "This is not a rumour" thread & you're about to justify it with ??? Another rumour or fact? Are you going to write what you think or is this a fishing expedition?

I heard Richo likes meatballs.

[citywest]

My rumour would have been right if it wasn't for Richo. You can take that to the bank.

[citywest]

Nobody here in their right mind could argue that they would rather have Petracca instead of both Peter Wright and Paul Ahern.....NOBODY!!!!!!!

[citywest]

Ok, I'll put it out there.
Richo knows the Petracca family personally and has done so for years.

[Ghost Like]

Still nothing??? How can anyone verify, agree, argue with whatever your rumour is until you say it?
Is that the draft order, 4 Wright & 7 Ahern or simply your wish? Oh and plenty have and will argue but the point being???

Disgraceful! That's almost as bad as when GT forced us to draft Ball ahead of Judd because he used to be having it off with Ball's mother!!!

[Ghost Like]

WOW!!! Thank god then Petracca wasn't touted to go pick 20. Must keep il famiglia happy.

[LTN16]

OMG!

[8856brother]

Sack him now. In defensible.

This thread could just be the saddest little corner of the internets in the world right now.

[satchmo]

Where were you when we picked up Luke Beveridge?

Raph clarke-

I'm hoping for Lachie Weller at 21 .

if there was little to seperate them- or skill set was similiar to something we had then knowledge of would be advantage

How long have you known the Wrights and Ahearns?

[bigcarl]

So what? If he's the best available we should get him.

This is not the saddest thread. I have been a supporter for 43 years and have never seen my team win a premiership. I've had to put up with arrogant Colingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn and Essendon supporters all my life. It #$%^ing s***s me. It is ridiculous that we have forfeited gaining an extra pick in the top 10 for dodgy reasons.

[satchmo]

It's not "dodgy reasons", you've just made a dodgy assumption.

[longtimesaint]

I think we will find that holding on to the number one pick will be very worthwhile.
Petracca will be a great addition to our list.
