No probs bob, and no fee. :wink:

You are right of course. 

So it is your "opinion" that Ross Lyon will continue to draft injured players even if other clubs medico's can't fix them? And this is based on a long history of such players that starts with Jesse Smith and ends with Jesse Smith?

Yes, you're right Doc it was very cynical of me to suggest that we may have wasted a draft pick on Smith and would do so on Bradshaw.

But it was said in jest, to see if I could get a bite!!

So thanks for biting!!!

I'll forward my Medicare details later

smith wasn't a wasted pick as they probably wouldn't have used it anyway.

Despite the request, it has to be neither.

Hawkins is an out and out dud. Soft as they come, really lacks any presence for a guy his size.

Fevola isn't worth the hassle, and is over 30. He won't be in our long term plans.

0 games, a base salary and thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Yep, definitely no waste there!!!

Doubt that with their two other options Mooney and Pods hovering around the 30's, that Geelong will let Hawkins go.

If Fev gets fit, and plays a blinder season in the VFL, you can bet at least one or two clubs will 'gamble' (poor choice of words!) on having Fev for a couple of years. The Dogs gambled on Hall. He won 'em a night flag and kicked a few goals but may not do much more.

The reason i say no to Hawkins is...I'm sick of being stirred by Geelong a*sh*les who say the Saints take Geelong rejects, eg Chalie Gardiner. Steve King was ok and Gamble may be good, so I'm not sure.


The deciding factor for me is...are the next few years 'top up' or 'rebuild'? If it's top up, Fev could fill a hole up forward.

0 AFL games that is.

Any draft pick is a lottery.

We didn't win the flag last year either, is our entire club outgoings for the season wasted money too?
