Official PSD/Rookie Draft thread

Zero,
I was with you until your last sentence.
The other player we have is so much better in every other facet.  And the other player has kicked 9 more than once, and a 10 goal bag.  The fact he played every game in the firsts and not the 2's in 2006 might mean something also.
Too right Shers.  KK also can't take a contested mark & relies on leading only (or picking the gimmies off the back of a pack).  Will he get the room to lead into in our Fwd50?  I doubt it with Richo, Browny, Petts & Sarge all down there.

Like I've stated on another thread. What exactly are we expecting from Kent. No one in their right mind would compare him to Richo even if the goal tally was comparable. We need to judge him on a cost vs benefit basis. He isn't bloody well there to compete with Richo by the way. He is there to compliment the team hopefully despite his obvious shortcomings.

If Kent doesn't put in I'm sure Big Richo will tell him all about it.  At Geelong he hadn't some young talent around him in the forward line.  With us he has Richo and Browny and I reckon they're just about sick and tired of mediocrity.  And as has been stated, Kent is on his last chance.

Yes Chapman and Ablett jnr are shocking players

Oops, actually I deserved a bagging for that. The word after he in my second sentence was supposed to say had not hadn't. It pays to read back over your posts. :-X
 
I really don't know what to expect from Kingsley. 40 goals is too much if Brown and Richo and fit all year, as they will do the bulk of the scoring. Maybe 25-30?

The idea behind getting Kingsley is not so much to help out with the Seniors but rather to help out with the youngsters at Coburg.

Welcome "Mr Magic".
Any PREnder who was a fan of Maurice is off to a good start, however I'm not so sure your theory is the same as TWs.
Happy posting.
 
$#@$$#@#!@#@^         furious  :veryupset :veryupset :veryupset

We picked up a soft pea hearted dud that cannot take a contested mark, is ordinary with no defensive skills, and cant kick straight ( is Frawley back at the club).

Wasted pick and another dud.  :P NO SURPRISE THO ... listening to Millers and TWs BS talk on the radio saying he is not guaranteed to be picked by us  made me laugh my arse off !!!!

We could see this decision coming from a mile away............ and i thought we had turned the corner with our draft this year and last, but no   ....... one step forward one step backwards.

Cant wait to watch opposition backs racing the ball willy nilly outta our forward line with Kingsley, Krakouer Pettifer and Richo chasing them down and piling on the defensive pressure. :P

As for the rookie draft we wasted that too by taking 2 smalls.

But with all that said i am not surpriesd at all..... not at all  :P :P :P

No you're not. You love having something to complain about. Just think how horrible it would be if you had nothing to :frustration at. ;)

I think the lack of defensive pressure up front is a very valid point.
You can add Browny to that list, it's not his strong suit either.

Definately an area we need to improve massively in and KK ain't going to help that.

There are supposed to be a lot more talls in the next draft craig, take a bex, lay down and wake up at this time next year and you might get a surprise!

;)
 
Have taken that many Bex feisty tiges over the years that i am now immune to em.

So to attempt to control my outbursts in the coming season which are stone cold certs to occur no doubt i have taken the following actions as a prophilaxis.

Am waiting on a black market shipment of bear trasnquilisers, from deepest darkest Asia which should help greatly next year to take the edge off the pain of watching our forward line contain Kingsley Krakouer and Pettifer, not to mention the other duds.

Oh dear just cannot bear the thought.

Look on the bright side of things.No Clokes Craig ;D

True skipper but it just seems like somone asking whether youd prefer having your arms ripped off as opposed to having your legs ripped off. ;)

But a Cloke free zone is a good result.

Woulda rather taken a kid but this is no surprise its been coming for weeks.
