Pffft we can say what we like its a forum... we gave up our 2nd round pick for a 3rd round pick... its not good for a player who has not got what it takes to play afl... he looked soft at the dogs who are not a tough teamHalo Halo wrote:For those that have already complained about this & continue to complain about Aaron Fiora..

I think it's a damn fine result. Ray has had a relatively poor season in 2008, but he's 22 and has averaged 15 AFL games a year over the past 5.
We've given up a draft pick in 31 that, over the past decade, has produced 8 nobodies plus Paul Chapman (star) and Jarred Moore (GOP).
In exchange, we have gotten a draft pick in 48 that, over the past decade, has produced 7 nobodies, 2 father/son picks (H Shaw and N Ablett) and a near-star in Chance Bateman.
So the numbers are well and truly on our side. Well done to the club!!

Aussie Jones was drafted at 48, Sam Fisher was drafted at 55....I'd be happy for another nothing pick like that

its a 1 in 10 shot at getting a decent player

Agree with you about Farren Ray. Give him a chance for Christ's sake. Averaged nearly 20 disposals a game this year with limited opportunities in a team with Cooney, Cross, Boyd etc.Halo Halo wrote:For those that have already complained about this & continue to complain about Aaron Fiora..

I reckon we've done well to pick him up and lose only 17 places in the draft. Well done Ross and the boys.
As for Fiora. Pffft! A waste of space in a STK jumper and deserves criticism.

he is quick, just what we need
He played at the dogs in a team better than ours
he averaged 19.8 possessions in 12 games this year with 2.6 tackles
we could use that at Stkilda
People are comparing him to Fiora
12 possessions and 1.6 tackles
it is 8 more touches and another tackle per game average
Ray had 6 games this year with 20 or more possessions
Last year he played 20 games and had an average of 15 possessions and 2.6 tackles
he is fairly consistent
we all know Fizz's best year was last year
15.5 touches and 2.1 tackles
Ray is a lot better than Fiora ever was
