I hate to say it but yes. His execution will have me gouging at my eyes, but him vs Stone - one of them impacts the contest at least, the other runs around and makes me go "oh, we gave 18 to someone that wasn't Jezza?"

Why do you feel so precious as to complain about this? You go on about how words don't matter but you're getting your knickers in a twist over people coming out now? Seriously, pick a lane. You've obviously got some serious attention seeking need to keep whinging about it, let along now going...

FWIW I saw Lloyd play all last year - he definitely had enough juice to go around again, but not enough to 100% lock down a spot without injuries. Well guess what, we've got injuries. Ideally he won't be playing in seniors but if we really do need a Linc-style high half forward he can do that...

44 point margin but the losing team is "expected" to be in front? Wow.

Wouldn't have tipped it but given we have four spots, it absolutely makes sense to me. Daniel is more likely to have an impact if needed than whoever we're taking last second.

Yeah. Requested a trade home, GWS didn't go for it, he came back the next year but then walked out during preseason. Was traded back to Freo at the end of the season, but never really came on.

Counterpoint: it wasn't acceptable then either, they just got away with it without being punished - which is very different. I would've overlapped at school with some of these players (I know I did with at least one). I used similar language through school at times, but even then we all knew...

The recruiting team would already have knowledge on most of these guys from previous years' drafts, not to mention monitoring from this year's season with an eye to the end of the year. We won't be selecting guys we have no idea about.

I did too. Didn't mind the idea.

Mine was in my 15th or so year of park soccer - landed on one leg after a jump trying to get the other leg up to intercept a high ball, and the knee just hyperflexed the wrong way. Bam.

It's also the action that causes the ACL. If you never twist your knee awkwardly, you won't tear it. So there's still a strong function of (bad) luck there.

He looked like he had something to work with the reserves games I saw in his first year, but safe to say he hasn't come on as hoped - but realistically, any ruck is always a massive crap shoot. Taking a player in the rookie draft or the midseason draft is just another lottery ticket.

Unless you're a Tigers fan... Thankfully I'm not.

Sounds like the smart money is on Brain...
