Good points there GoJJ. I wonder if we did a similar exercise with say pick 4 what the median player would look like.
Providing Gibcus come good as an elite key defender, we probably need 3 key players at least, like top end guys who can play key forward and or midfield, in order to build our...
Bartlett/Bourke, Reynolds, Barassi, H Collier, Whitten, all time greats of the game, legends. :hearteyes:
Then you get to Geelong Cats FC. Shrugduck Selwood fmd. :joycat::joycat::joycat::joycat:
Here is the history of pick 3 over the last 20 years in very rough order of merit so we can see where the median value is...
Martin
Jackson
Sheezel
Walter
Griffen
Rankine
Mills
Callaghan
McLuggage
Angus Brayshaw
S Hill
Day
Mastern
Billings
Ellis
Tyson
Hansen
Phillips
Plowman

So your...
Tom deConninghimself is an embarassment to his mother, who is also an embarrassment to him.
If you get a chance to miss her Mums with Mics segment on AFL.com.au certainly take the opportunity, FMD.
Could the club have said to Meehan we need to crash or crash through? Maybe they said we want to players taken beyond normal limits because that is the only way we can contend, and if it goes wrong, well, we fancy the top end of the draft.
We just don't know. For all we know Meehan could...
Do It Again my S Dan favourite. It appeals to the reformed gambler in me.... :)
Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Ok, so let's do another exercise that isn't effected so much by Richmond's injury travails in the 2024 season so far.
Best average rating 25yo and under players on the list have achieved in a season, including the 2024 season.
2023 S Bolton Tigers 15.08
2024 M Holmes Cats 14.44
2024 G Miers...
Yet you take away a few senior players and 10th placed Gold Coast Suns missing 7 best 22 players destroy your youth by 64 points.
Something is not quite adding up here meow....but I know you will be on the case trying to make sense of this crazy situation where the Cats youth have been shown...
But your 20-25 year olds will also be playing against the 20-25year olds from Gold Coast Suns Football Club in years to come. And how did the 20-25 year old cohort for the Gold Coast Suns Football Club perform last night against the fine young gentlemen of Geelong?
Noah Anderson, a lazy 42...
Last night the future of Geelong - minus Sam DeKoning(who you say is worth 6 goals and is therefore clearly THE most valuable player in the history of the sport, but official ratings say is the 37th best out of 64 key defenders who have played in the AFL this year based on average actual...
The clubs can all carve it up between them anyhow. They can wait one year and pick him up as a Free Agent and we would get a great pick in compensation, so everybody would be deliriously happy.
Bloody dangerous thing to start doing to a Victorian club lurking near the bottom of the ladder with loads of cap space when you have half your list full of ex-Victorians.
In fact if we finish the season below them both on the ladder, it is basically impossible for them to do given our cap...
Who knows how long before we get a chance to contend again. But no reason at all it will take 5 years for the team to be fiercely competitive. 5 years to be competitive is if the club hadn't been busy drafting throughout the last 10 years.
Let's look at 2026, players who commence the season...
The only thing is you take a good footballer any way you can get it and if that good footballer comes ready to play, no problemo. But I get what you are saying, if you thought of 2 choices one player was better now but the other is likely to be bette in 2-3 years you take the latter at this stage.
They are young but a sufficiently talented team to do damage in September with a decent run at it. With fair umpiring they probably won the flag in 2023.
You would have said the same about the Adelaide Crows FC in 2019-20-21. But a few class draftees, Thilthorpe, Rachele, a couple of moderate picks looking really good, Soligo, Michelanney, a couple of gun mature recruits, Rankine, Dawson, a few "finds" amongst the pre-existing players, Laird to...
These clowns in the media are hilarious.
I don't read the garbage but saw this rather desperate for attention headline today:
So without reading the actual article, if I have this straight,
Damien Barrett, who is not even good at his own profession, if you could even call what is left of...
Surprisingly small boot in the AU Gru. You can normally only fit one dead body in there at a time, 2 if they are smaller and you get them in before they go rigid. :)
Groupie_ This is Lukey Meehan's D Hardwick 2016 year. It is his Tom Cruise film plot crisis of confidence year(see clip below.) We either need to send him to Harvard in the off season, or he needs to meet and fall in love with a good looking woman who talks him into being a better High...
Here is an exercise...
Pick our best 23 in our AFL team. That leaves 21 more on the list. Leave out a few guys who might not make the VFL team better by playing. So that leaves say 17 AFL players who are automatically in our best 29 or so VFL players. The other 12 would be VFL listed...
