Official Team for Round 12

[Penelope]

why is white too small? he hardly ever looses a one on one contest for the ball.

[Smokey]

Yes it is. When you are drafting a mid you want him to he 6"2. Deledio. Ryan griffin are good size. Times have changed I think conca was the same size as jack dyer??

Ok, I'll bite.  Why stop at 6'2"?  I would prefer all my mids to be 6'6" minimum - no stopping those goliaths hey?  And going back to the original point, Conca and Cotchin should have been included in the "too many smalls" argument then?  And I guess Dane Swan, Dale Thomas, Sharrod Wellingham and Heath Shaw are too many "smalls" for Collingwood?  And Geelong must be lucky to get away with carrying so many smalls - Josh Hunt, James Kelly, Joel Selwood?  Mathew Boyd, Daniel Giansiracusa, Shaun Higgins, Mark Le Cras, Mathew Priddis, Paul Bevan, Jude Bolton, Daniel Hannebery, Jarrad McVeigh and the list goes on.  Wonder how on earth any of these clubs manage to win games with such a bevy of "smalls" rotating through the midfield?  Pity the poor player under 6 foot, obviously no place for them in today's midfield.

Crock of crap.  A good player is what you want to draft, regardless of height.

Hislop aint a small dude

can tell you, was standing beside him recently, he aint tall

yeah but you're a massive pr...

Farmer has been terrriblllle - may cost us the match this move - stay tuned.

I really dont get this Farmer thing. He's been a plodder at best for coburg then got elevated ahead of players like webberley who have been in the bests regularly, has been WOEFUL at senior level and they still keep him in - at least drop him and bring him back when hes bloody fit. Absolute joke he's in the squad

the Irishman made him look like a women in that 1v1 contest on hbf.

If I was talking a crock of crap a fortunato caruso. Duel tac BF winner would have got drafted first round, or got drafted in general. Being the best football but by and large too small.  

Conca and cotchin are classed as mid siZe not tall mids but not short like your white. Nahas. Hicks. Etc types. It's easier to get drafted at 185cm ish than less 180

Played well on Sunday. One of our best. Missed a heap of training and now he's getting fit. Kicks the cover off it and the MC seem to like him.

And if Fort Caruso had been a younger mid in today's draft then I've got no doubt he would have been picked and most likely succeeded.  All clubs have learnt some valuable lessons in looking at those in the 2nd tier comps that didn't quite fit the mould come draft time.  Took the blinkers off is what they have done, something that others might need to do.

So one incident against a player who also hardly loses a one on one contest makes my statement wrong?

what has changed from today to the time fort was overlooked in the draft/s?

He lost more than one 1-on-1 on Sunday 

[Penelope]

didnt loose too many as he didnt get involved in many at all

The clubs weren't looking too deeply at the 2nd tier players until the last couple of years.  A hell of a lot of good players never got the chance because of that short-sightedness.  Just like disregarding mids because they are too short.
