Ricky Nixon mentioned that Brisbane overheard RFC talking about Bart McCulloch and then used pick 69 to snare him. [Fox Footy Show]

Yep its not the PRE-Draft night we need to worry about in terms of confidentiality.
just makes the thing of others not prepared to send PM's to people thousands of miles away in case they tell a Blues supporter in far north Queensland who we will take.
Got to laugh haven't you.
The PRE Draft night - just PM in future - what a joke.

I watched it mate on Foxtel, i was pretty pivved to hear that we were overheard by the lions that we were going to grab McCulloch
I mean how could they allow for this to happen, well it seems by that we were going tall with 3 out of 4 pics, vickery 200cms, post 194 and McCulloch 199
McCulloch a Ruckman who can also play as a tall midfielder. Has good pace and endurance for a player of his size. Clean below his knees and a solid kick. Tasmanian U18 Representative in NAB AFL U18 Championships.
DOB 23/09/1990
HEIGHT 198.9
WEIGHT 86

Why worry about it when RFC broadcast it anyway.
Seems like a power trip with the confidentiality mumbo jumbo from those that can attend the Draft Night.

I do not know, I only watched the segment when they discussed the tigers.
Tyrone is managed by Ricky Nixon....
I thought we had a good result............. ???
NOW,
I am surprised at how bad people think we did.
But then I realized that they are the experts so I should now be dissapointed too! :

Seriously though, who cares if Brisbane overheard. Do we seriously think they will have changed their position on pick 69 because they heard we wanted it? Either they wanted him, or they wanted someone else. Knowing what RFC were planning would have added a bit of spice to it (knowing you were taking "their' guy), but there is no way in Hades they would have changed their plans because of us.
I am pretty pleased.
I cry for structure and thats what I got.
Absolutely delighted to get Tyrone Vickery. He was my pick very, very early, I actually got word that Essendon were keen on him two weeks ago and were considering to grab him, I was not happy, now I have a massive smile, he is what we needed and in my opinion, equal to Natanui in terms of football talent. In fact if we talk purely football, Vickery is ahead IMHO.
Jayden Post is interesting. I have not payed too much attention to him, and to be honest haven't looked at his athletic and football stats too often, I think we reached for him a tad, but by golly his stats both athletically and football wise is impressive. I have faith in Francis Jackson, I definitely know he knows what he is talking about and has a great eye for talent.
That solved structure to me. A Ruckman/Key Position player and another Key Position player. Great recruiting.
Tom Hislop is worth the gamble. Just have an issue with getting Adam Thomson for a third rounder then getting Hislop for a fourth? Doesn't make much sense as they play a similar role, and with Coughlan and Tuck around its getting a squeeze, but again in terms of structure, an inside ball winner, fantastic.
I am pleased, another pick to come in the PSD, very good effort FJ and CC.

hmm the point is 2005 we stopped at pick 40, and traded pickk 55 for bowden sheesh we could have got bowden in the psd wb gave us bowden and offered pick 59 for pick 55. surely its better to use pick 55 or 59 and 71 in the nd when the overall pool of players to chose from is bigger than taking kids in the psd. 2007 we stopped at pick 51 we traded not one but two picks on recycled types picks 19 and 35. and this yr we stopped at pick 58 having traded pick 42 on a recycled. theres a hell of a lot of water under the bridge from these picks to the psd. taking a kid in the psd is tantamount to a first round rookie pick. take em in the nd the only thing stopping us utiliseing 4 or 6 picks more from the mentioned drafts is our total reluctance to delist /trade underachievers.AstuteTiger said:
finally yeah we embrace the draft, as well as 05 07 08 in 2006 we trade pick 42 as well once again on a recycled underachiever with chronic deficiencies.
can anyone show me one player we have traded for thats been worth what we gave up in the last 5 drafts.
the real talent is in the nd we continue to fail ourselves by hedging our bets and not participating in the draft. bloody hell 3 nd picks while hanginging onto chronic underpachievers and still people defend whats going on. make no mistake nothing has changed at the rabble footy club not since 1986.
took this off OER....sums it all up :clap
just sick of all the morons bagging our selections
what have you seen of post other than the youtube vision on the afl site?
my guess is zero.
Post has played his whole career as a forward except for this year. He has the pace and the marking ability to be a forward.
It really annoys me when someone can sit behind a keyboard and what you tube vids of players for three minutes and then consider themselves qualified to question the clubs recruiting.
If you havent noticed, the clubs biggest needs were addressed on draft day and the trade period.
A grade developong ruckman with a genuine mean streak.
Big Bodied versatile KPf/b
2 tough big bodied midfielders to add to rotations
We now have a developing a grade ruckman that can play as a key forward. We have a 194 cm utility that can play as a key forward or as the biggest key backman of the club, he runs 20 metres in the top 15 percentile of his age and has elite endurance and took 50 more marks than any of his peers last year.
We also two more midfielders to add to our rotations, this means 74kg edwards can learn his trade on the flanks, which is where he belongs .....for now.
As far as this draft goes, we have been very fortunate indeed. But there will always be the dropkicks on this site who just love whinging and whining, and that without even having the luxury of ever seeing them play. Its a joke.
We have one more pick remember, and via waiting till psd, we can have the likely applicants train with us.
