By the way, Goldman, I reckon Chol will make it.

He's put on 15kg since we drafted him.
I get ya, Goldie, but in the top 10 you just take the best player. We need another gun mid as well.
Walker was a NSW scholarship player that Adelaide could take with its last pick, like Witts at Scumwood. It was a short-lived scheme/scam that of course we did not take advantage of.
THE real tragedy is we'll have both McBean, who is not up to it and will be delisted, and Vickery, who is sure to be traded or leave via free agency, both heading out the door at the one time. That my yellow and black friends is atrocious list management, as it leaves our key forward stocks as such: Riewoldt. JK; Griffiths; rookies x 2 Moore. C and Chol.
Only at Tigerland could there be such a buzz around rookie forwards like Chol and Callum Moore.
I'll give you the tip, look around the league at the premier forwards and most have one thing in common. They were all PREDOMINANTLY first round or very early second round picks or academy picks. Riewoldt x 2, Franklin, Pavlich, Cameron, Patton, Wright, Petrie, Roughhead, Stringer, Walker. J. Kennedy, T. Lynch, Hogan, Gunston, Dixon and Watts (can't believe seven years in I am including that name). There's the odd father-son (Hawkins and Cloke), but the cream of the crop[ come in round one or early round two.
Josh Jenkins is the only one I can think of who came through the rookie draft.
Yet we have people here thinking the likes of Moore and Chol will lead us to the promised land. If they were any god they'd be first round or early second round picks like those mentioned.
It's why we need to draft either a tall forward or tall defender first up with pick 5 or 6.
Yes, but our woeful development of key backs and forwards combined by our negligence in addressing the key positions in the draft meanswe have to keep a few of these under-performing types for another year or even two, as we are bereft of options.The real tragedy is that Richardson signed Elton through 2017. Now THATS a tragedy !!!!
Softwick you suck. At the end of the day mcbeans job is to kick goals you said. He kicked a bag on the weekend and set up even more. Dunstall or locket wouldn't have kicked any against the hawks cos of your sh#£ game plan. Everytime it got near our forward line the bean had 2 or 3 opponents cos your snail game plan is a fooken disgrace. I hope after we sh#£ can you you never get a job as a coach in any form of the game. Back to h & r block for you you flog. I hope the bean walks to the bombers and kicks a bag against us every time. You've been shafting him for years and playing chol and Chaplin up fwd in the preseason not even giving him1 minute game time proved you had his papers stamped just like with dea. You played king and Morris up fwd when they were completely useless we'll never know if mcdonaugh could've made it or Lennon could be full of experience by now but no your a flog and hope that money yyour stealing from our club brings you misfortune and bad luck

Not at all. Unlike most of the flogs on here I can see the blatant favourtism from softwick. He's pumped games into sychophants like morris, chaplin, newman in his last couple of years, the push up queen, Taylor hunt and refused to drop b Ellis and Vickery should've been dropped dozens of times. Blokes like tuck, ohanlon, dea, Arnott, mcdonaugh, mcbean, Morton, Lennon have been shafted unfairly getting axed for one bad game or not getting rewarded for reserves form. Half the ignorant flogs on here thought richo was ordinary until his last couple of years when the media told them it was undeniable how brilliant he was. They're the same flogs who have elevated cotchin to mythical status when in reality he's an above average player who's gettin way too much money he's got no spine and needs bodyguards and the only thing he's elite at is cheap one twos and being a nerd. Just cos he wants to be a leader he's clearly proven he's not a leaders azzLol welcome McBean's dad to bigfooty!
Agree, the bench time did not help.He's unlucky, was benched for the first 10mins of each quarter in games where we mostly played our slow style. Still managed 12 pos's 6 marks and multiple assists vs Essendon in only %65 gametime.
Is a smart player with flaws that needs to be used a certain way, but we seem determined to make him fail, where someone like Vickery gets a forward line structure based around his strengths.
His papers were stamped along time ago.
This is gold.the only thing he's elite at is cheap one twos and being a nerd

Can I get a hallelujahAt least elton has some afl traits. Mcbean has nothing talent wise to make it at afl level. He is a s**t mark, slow, turning circle of a bus. Only thing he has is he is an above average crumber for his height.
Big critic of Vickery and have wanted him out the door the last 4 yrs. But a big part of why he gets games is there is so little in the cupboard to force him out.The problem this week was that the 'Colossus from Coleraine' Vickery played his first game in weeks (vCollingwood) that actually commanded selection the next week. You can't expect Dumbwck to drop Vickery when he plays a decent game, when he does it once in 15 bad games. Vickery earned his psot this week. That said, he'll likely play a shocker this week and still be picked next week.
Bump.
2 games for Glenelg. 9 goals.
Leads SANFL goalkicking.
He was always able to kick goals below AFL level. That stat is nothing new or impressive.Bump.

True. But would've liked McBean taking Elton's kicks for goal last 2 roundsHe was always able to kick goals below AFL level. That stat is nothing new or impressive.
