Hate to break it to you Jack but round 23 against bombers was in the papers last week

No scoop there   ;D

Couldn't Jster post the link rather than pretend someone at the club still speaks to him?

Actually knew yesterday you were due to post more bull-plop tonight

30-50 games is where many players become players. Delisting a 22 year old tall with promise says something else is going on behind the scenes. We picked up a tattoed alco instead who's already in trouble. Great move

That would all be correct if he actually had promise.

Disappointing decision.

I know! I can't believe Jokestar is back. Again!     :(

Nah, I think it's an attitude thing with Posty. He has some other flaws too, but i think there is enough raw talent to work with. Just doesn't want it enough I suspect. Maybe other clubs know this. We would have shopped him round during trade time.

Smart decision from the club. Horrible player. Will be very surprised to see him picked up.
An X on Francis's resume.
what only one.

Nope not the only one. Don't think any get them all right, even us mug punters.  ;D

Post a particular example of why drafting talls is particularly difficult.
Just didn't progress at all.

We 'reached' for Post at pick 26 in the 2008 draft because our next pick was at 58. It obviously didn't pay off  :-\.

The 2008 National draft was a flop for us with only Vickery, if he can return to his 2011 breakout year form, possibly the only player we got out of it. We had too few picks to begin with drafting just two kids and had the foolish mentality going into Wallace's final year of being "locked and loaded"  :P. In fact nothing to write home about from the whole trade/draft period of that year. Nahas the only other one to have played a fair amount of AFL footy.

ND
8. Vickery
26. Post ....... overlooked Beams, Hannebery, Robinson, Sloane going for a tall.
43. Traded for Adam Thomson  :scream
58. Tom Hislop  :scream

PSD
6. Ben Cousins

RD
8.Robin  Nahas
24. David Gourdis ....... redrafted
39. Andrew Browne
53. Alroy Gilligan

I thought Post showed some potential in his early games but gee whiz- 2009 was a long time ago.
Count your losses and move on.
