White was clearly the standout of the group. Feared the pies swooping so went in PSD

Pitched Mcentee vs Graham, reckons, Graham was better

Would of taken Daniel Nicholls in third round but Pies swooped so went for Humm instead.

I was waiting for the 'wash-up' from GM.

However, a few things that he has mentioned might raise an eyebrow or two.

Firstly, the Tigers and a few other clubs have a bit of explaining to do to the AFL regarding their Sunday 'dayout' with the rookies at Punt Road. Apparently it wasn't authorised by Demetriou, and we could see the last of such thing, and if we do, then we won't be able to gather such a mass of 'raw' talent on the same day.

Secondly, I can't seem to find any recognition to the PuntRoadEnd Forum for their contribution towards the Rookie Club, anyway I should just be humble about it because I might sound like a whinger.

Congratulations to the new kids, and I wish them all the best.

Where's evo ?

(Don't forget: no pine nuts on that sundae evo.)
 
Whilst I doubt if anyone from PRE donated to get recognition I don't think GMs excluding PRE from a "thankyou" goes down very well at all!!!!

I thought that might have been the case. Well GM, you should have taken him in the 2nd, instead of the fellow who in the next year you're going to find out is a hack.

No,
I have to retract that. Nicholls wasn't available to us for our 2nd round choice.
Between Graham or Nicholls for our 1st RD choice, I would have chosen Graham without hesitation too.
The club made the correct 1st RD choice.

Phantom, Collingwood took Nicholls in the second round (pick 18) before our pick. It was impossible for us to get Graham and Nicholls so they decided to sure up Graham and hope that Nicholls was there in the second round. He wasn't so they went for Humm. I think you owe someone an apology.

Didn't you see that I retracted the statement. You've even quoted the retraction.

Daniel Nicholls hey Phantom...Collingwood made a good selection.

Yes, they made a very good decision.
Looks like they're trying to redeem themselves after the ND.

Reckon Nicholls will end up a real surprise packet. But he will have to tighten up on his disposal.

You must have typed the retraction as I typed my post as I didn't see your retraction when I quoted you. Anyhow good to see you admit when you are wrong, sort of.

This is an interesting comment though Phantom as his coach from the Stingrays Graeme Yeats is quoted in Inside Football as saying that "Danny is a quick, hard working midfielder with really good skills.....probably as good a user of the footy as there is in the TAC comp." Seems he thinks his disposal is ok.
