We need to fine-tune: Wallace

As for other clubs having two or more, you might want to look a bit closer.

I did. I have the 2006 draft right in front of me. Nup 8 names for me based on what they showed in 2007.

The other kids were no more impressive than Connors (25 possies against Geelong) and Jack who I haven't included either as they didn't show enough.

[Tigermonk]

what are you talking about Collingwood are playing finals last year 5 points off a grand final & nearly knocking off Geelong that blew the Grand final apart & everyone else away & you constantly bag the magpies cause your jealous there draftees are playing better team football than the pathetic tigers
we are scratching our bums with a wooden spoons 2004 & 2007 one for each side of our bums wishing to be half as good
sad thing is we can beat the magpies but cant win anymore than 4 matches

[mightytiges]

It shows that the Pies haven't relied heavily on their draftees from the past 5 years to make the finals which is what we've been saying all long. Take the handful of the cream from the top and add them to the older senior core that makes up the vast majority of their side. 

ps. why should I be jealous of a club that's won one flag in the past 50 years  .

most of there senior players Buckley Presto, Clement, Wakelin, Holland, Licura, & a couple of others had injuries last year & it was there second core players doing all the work & funny how they nearly made the grand final
and its 2 flags in 50 years 1958 1990 cause this year aint started yet

last year it was players like goldsack, pendelbury, thomas and marty clarke that got them where they ended up. there are so many sides like the pies though

thats right your very correct  but you try telling that too others on here they just dont know when there wrong

[Little Jackie]

Goldsack( Age 20) Pendelbury( Just turned 20), Thomas( Age 20), Clarke(( age 20), , throw in young Travis Cloke.( just turned 21).

Wonder why David Cloke didnt want his son to go to Punt Road.

Toovey ( age 20) goes alright as well.

Now, where are the RFC young players.

 I Accept Foley and Deledio

Goldsack - solid 2007, let's see him back it up.  At the moment, he's no better than Raines at end of 2006.

Pendelbury - gun

Thomas - good player but not without flaws

Clarke - see Goldsack...can he cope with the physical pressure that will come his way?

Cloke - see Thomas

Toovey - surely you jest?

[Little Jackie]

Goldsack not better than Raines, ?? Where have you been !
Goldsack 191cm, can play key position. Raines 184cm

Raines had terrible year last year, crunch year for the ""Matrix man""

Someone will correct me if I am wrong but didnt Travis Cloke win the Collingwood Best and Fairest ??? Or at least placed ?

Thomas is an absolute gun.

Fine Tune? Don't make me laugh. We need a major overhaul......again.

End of 2006, Raines was coming off a second place in the Rising Star, in 2007 Goldsack didn't even place in the rising star.  Since 2006, teams have worked out Raines' weaknesses, it remains to be seen whether the same happens to Goldsack.  But I've seen enough one year wonders not to annoint Goldsack as an elite player.  I wasn't comparing them as players, just their status in the game after a break-out year.

[Little Jackie]

Can tell you that Thomas and Cloke can come to Punt Road anytime they want.

[Tigermonk]

yeah Cloke won skunks B&F
Thomas is a gun 

[Tigermonk]

l would have got Jason Cloke just to help out in the backline as a last pick
l reckon he would grab his next chance his mid 20s l think
