I can confirm the Scum were definately going to pick him at 30. Their faces told it all. All looked like they'd just discovered a pube in their dinner. It was a sight to behold LOL at the Scum with their dud F/S picks and the new version of the bionic man.

Talking about Sier Bullus
I was speaking with a customer of mine last year before the 2015 draft and he mentioned that Collingwood had a player that they were going to take that they have been "hiding" by being in the ear of their coach and the player and just getting played accordingly just so they can monitor him without attracting too much interest
It went as far as to get him off the ground after minutes played and just played at certain games and player was also in on it and didnt perform when there was too many eyes at games - He was assured he would get selected
Even certain people that were arranged by collingwood would "train " with the player away from his club and do testing
after the draft he said to me they got their man, My customer is a member of their woodsman club and also very well connected at the club, We have known eachother for 20+ years and he has no idea i post on this or other forums
Also this year the Doggies were so convinced that they would take Long that they had a club representative on hand to get him in their kit to take pictures and video to get out to media asap and their 1st selection was meant to be Marshall ........ They missed both

Interesting info, I think clubs can get too caught up in the 'hiding behind the trees' mentality. Holding kids back from competitive football is counterproductive in my opinion, apart from anything else it creates a silver spoon mentality. You could also argue that if his talent has been kept under wraps then a late pick would suffice. Hine and co. are effectively suggesting that he's a first round talent which is a massive leap of faith.
As for the Doggies missing out on Marshall, might be a blessing in disguise, a bit like Melbourne crowing about Scully & Trengove and then missing out on Martin. If given the choice I would take Tim English every day of the week. The big issue I see with Marshall is his competitiveness, whilst pick 16 isn't massive overs it's still risky considering he has never kicked more than 3 goals at any level. They did address their ruck depth with the recruitment of Ladhams so at least the list balance hasn't been compromised to any great degree.
it's just a story jb, not meant to mean anything in particular in relation to Shai Boltonjb03 said:
Not sure if McClarty is any good or not but it's a great story for a young man to play with his cochlear implant. Wonderful Aussie invention of coursebullus_hit said:

That will make it even sweeter when he grows into a star.
I sincerely hope KK makes it, but I suspect he wont.

Theres no way $hai should slip to page 2 right now.
with the footy season over, the Cox plate run and the Draft Done, $hai's all I got to mentally fend off Westfield Santa Hats and Schoolies on MDMA.

:hihi
I'd add a touch of Graham into the mix, I reckon the cards landed beautifully with the first two picks.
And next year...............I'm already getting excited about the prospect of two first rounders.
