he was bought in to give miller a hand and i know for fact jon was taken over varcoe on jacksons say.

And I know for fact that the above FACT is absolutely incorrect

So I think it is fair to say that someone's "FACT" is wrong  ;D
Maybe it was Blair Hartly's fault WP.  :thumbsup
Everything else seems to be his fault according to you.  :whistle

Blair wasnt there so can't blame him here

Blair has far too much say on a lot of things that he shouldn't and I stand by my views on him but he is innocent on this one

Agree, how can we be well informed posters with this hanging over our heads

Needs to be sorted ASAP

Something needs to be done. People can't just go around loosely dispensing with the word 'fact' like it's going out of fashion.

that would be yours.  ;)

my info comes from a person on our table . miller really wanted varcoe. he went as far to walk over to the geelong table and talk to them about the selection at the end of the draft.
i mean to say to even have jon in the top 20 was a joke and weather im right or youir right with just two in charge jackson  and miller they both need to share the blame. they both would have spoken about jon and both would have had him up there. yet wacko jacko is excused ant involvement because he was only doing the job part time.
it was a horrid effort and a horrid draft.

the talk was wallace wanted a rebounding hb flanker so our boys went and got jon and totally ignored a proven performer in shannon hurn.
i had him top 5 that yr. people went off him because they thought he had no upside because of his size. nowdays clubs  are looking for the size to go with his kicking skills.

Claw is reliably incorrect , my mail was miller watched a Colts game in WA that actually involved paddy Ryder which miller understood to be JON, the rest is history. Claw will deceive and misinform to suit his own argument but thems the facts  :shh

 :lol :lol

"Our table"

Which table would that be?

And I am very confident in what I know and know we didn't take Jon on Jackson's say

Have heard the same story on how we went about selecting him from 3 different people who would definitely know

So I'll leave it at that
