- Jarrad Oakley Nicholls is improving, he needs space and can deliver the footy ok now. His decision making is the only thing left that is questionable


I thought it was JON's best game. Played with confidence (wonderful thing confidence ;))  Dont think he missed a target and thought his decision making was good as well.  :clapping :clapping

Needs to keep it up now  :thumbsup

Dingley...Hmmm I once met a Mr Dingle and he lived in Dingley. No Joke. There was a good live band venue there back in the late 80's called the Dingley International Hotel. I Loved the "International" bit. Very try hard.. lol I wonder if it still stands...

Tigers' win eliminates pre-draft pick (Herald-Sun)

The Eagles are tanking big time according to Hutchy.

Tigers' win eliminates pre-draft pick
Jon Ralph | June 17, 2008

FOR only the second time in a decade no club will earn a pre-draft priority pick after Richmond's win took it over the threshold of 16 premiership points.

The AFL will be hoping it might take the sting out of this year's tanking debate, with clubs now needing two consecutive seasons of four wins or fewer to qualify.

The Tigers have 18 points (including a draw) after their victory over Melbourne on Sunday.

The Demons, West Coast, Fremantle and Essendon could still qualify for a priority pick, but it would be awarded after the first round of the national draft. A total of 17 pre-draft priority picks have been awarded in the past decade.

The league is not out of the woods yet. West Coast's tactics against Essendon on Friday fuelled speculation the Eagles were hoping to maximise their draft order.

Daniel Kerr, Michael Braun and Chad Fletcher were rested with borderline injuries, midfielder Andrew Embley played full-back and star ruckman Dean Cox started the last quarter on the bench.

Three of the top contenders for the national draft - Nick Nautanui, Daniel Rich and Chris Yarran - are West Australians.

OMFG did l make the right choice
after reading here about the game  ;D l saved myself some torture, cause l aint seen any footage or even listen to the game at anytime & l'm just back this morning & read no newspapers
No score on the MCG scoreboard either so that was a bonus
Seems it was a ugly game with ugly skills& mistakes   ;D maybe l should stay away find something else to do & comeback in a few years time see if things are any better  :cheers
