10/10 , of the available garbage on offer , we could have made better use of our delistings as in asking Jacko or o hanlon to reconsider.  We have Fj s team armed to the teeth with draft picks to re stock what's become a veritable warehouse of talent at punt rd  :shh

The only thing stupider than RFC not having a proper crack is the fools saying junk like 'no point tradin just for the sake of trading, need to find good players'.

Open your eyes. There was SERIOUS talent switching clubs this year. Captains, premiership players, all Australians and brownlow medalists FFS.

And we look at blokes like Grigg and say that he's 'off limits'. FMD.

I'd have taken any of Greenwood, Varcoe, Cooney etc over the likes of Grigg or Petterd.

Cooney on one leg is a better player than plenty of our blokes.

If guys like Stanley attract approx pick 20 surely we could stuff off Vickery for something around that mark. Conca too.


Especially after Richardson's mid-season BS comment about how we're going to be aggressive in the trades this year because we need to improve out list. We look like a pack of morons.

God dammit seriously.

Armed to the teeth like Rambo and going to be smashing those late picks like he hunted fat cops with booby traps. Watch this space  :shh

On the surface you are right.  Information from a reasonable source, however, is that what the club is saying publically is very different to what actually occurred during discussions.
I'll just leave it at that.......
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Agreed. I hear picks 128 and 146 are now Ebola free and their lack limbs is no shortage for their determination.

Very good as they see this draft as a good one and were carful not to waste our picks or pay overs , if there was something there that was too good to pass on they would have gone for it.

What's with Adelaide, wasting top picks on players that probably would have been delisted - stupid.

lol 25 30 players changed hands and numerous picks and not one of em are good enough for us.

me i would have gone hard at hallahan ffs 47 and 49 cheap as chips., garlett 61 and 79 virtually nothing, and frawley f/a free to a good home. .would add james gwilt also free to a good home. giles for pick 53  or luke lowden  cheney a better propisuion than most of our hacks in defense.

it was a lost opportunity to find mature players add real depth and stay in the nd.

ah locked and loaded and those cherrys are as ripe as they will get. lol.

Has to be 0/10 or n/a cause we did nothing.

Dan Richardson has to go. Biggest handbrake the club has had since Craig Cameron.

I thought from all reports we were going to be a player over the time, disappointed that nothing happened. Better mean something then.......  :whistle

I really hope we pick up some kids; whom can flounder in the two's for 6 years,
Unless of course dimmer is forced to play one of them thru a plethora of injuries to senior listed
champions.

Go you good things !
