Gonna be a bit of full-reverse revisionism around here if it happens.

"I was wrong. Kysaiah was doing the right thing all along! How could I have been so blind?"

Kinda like Trump is the worst thing ever .... but now I'm Veep ... the best thing ever.

 

[Struggle]

Please not Fritsch

Please not spargo

 

[The White Mouse]

Please not Fritsch

That would be a bridge too far. Might as well go after Toby Greene as well if the compass is that askew.

 

[Mojorisin]

Please not spargo

Spargo is out of contract so not him. By my eye it has to be one of Laurie, Chandler or Tholstrup, McAdam if you consider them smalls (I'd call them mediums personally).

Wasn't there a poster here who kept banging on that we should have drafted Pickett instead of Weightman even though it wasn't possible.

Well come on down ......

 

[Mojorisin]

Spargo would have been an obvious one to be linked to, but he’s OOC.

Sparrow would make sense. Not sure he’s much of an upgrade on what we have, but would suit us.

I’m therefore expecting it to be Shane McAdam

Is Sparrow a Forward? I only remember him playing as a mid.

Would it be too much of a stretch to describe Max Gawn

as a small forward?

 

[Hawker399]

Not all players want the Geelong lifestyle, I believe Macrae was approached and turned them down, I always had tremendous respect for Boak, who did a Chris Grant and stayed with Port. A lot of players want the big clubs, Geelong is influential but not a big club.

 

[Pencil case]

Thanks for your insight Hawker399

Worse was when we used our number 1 pick on Jamarra instead of Thilthorpe. What was Sam Power thinking

 

[Iamspock]

Don't have a name but it won't be Pickett, he is definitely off to Freo.

Thank Dog.

So imagine if they had live trading you could actually have this occur. Match for Jamarra at pick 1 and trade him to Adelaide for pick 2 then use that to pick Thilthorpe. The melts would be hilarious

please!

 

[BigFloppa]

It's got to be Chandler. Bevo rates him highly

 

[TiAn_]

Please be Chandler. He’s very good. I like Vandermeer & McNeil but Chandler is an instant upgrade on either on both sides of the ball.

Weightman, Chandler, West and Dolan would be a great small forward mix next year.

 

[Del203211]

Stinks of Fritsch…

 

[Graeme Cook]

Must be Spargo Granfather Bob Spargo Footscray centre man not to mention Ricky Bob's brother handy rover.

 

[The White Mouse]

Stinks of Fritsch…

Got the stinks part right. I will spew up ....

He can play, no doubt, but heck me that would be a tough sell.

It just wouldn't seem right to want to punch the heads of your own players.

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Is Sparrow a Forward? I only remember him playing as a mid.

He doesn’t get any centre bounces, more a forward who pushes high up the ground (and on wing)

And as much as we’d love to reverse the decision now, Bailey Smith was the absolutely correct pick based off all the information available, and Dogs recruiting staff do not need to be investigated for not drafting the then-flakey small forward Zak Butters.

Investigated!? I'd have gone Royal Commission myself.

Normally the dogs get the picks right. But you have to wonder whether they do their due diligence/dick head research.

What's to wonder?

 

[redmania]

Fair point. Smith is a narcissistic prick and Jamarra has had issues long before he came to the club....you'd think we'd have picked up on this.

They sure as he'll do now, the 2024 draft us huge evidence of that.
