Re: Pre-season training - 2016
Its great that Tobys shoulder gets another 6month rest before really testing it in the season proper. Smart natural footballer keep them coming Dally.

My favourite part of the Dickson pick is that Essendon tried to hide him so they could get him at pick 59 but Shannon Grant gave us the good oil on him and we swooped a couple of picks earlier - they were completely rattled.

They had to ask for extra time to work out who to go for instead. They chose Nick O'Brien who they've just delisted after 14 games and 4 goals. They're only 94 goals behind... and counting :)

My favourite bit on draft day. Love it when a rattled recruiting manager frantically asks for "2 minutes" and then turns around in a huddle with the rest of the list management team because his prized pick has just been whisked away by another club.

It is surprising to me that happens. Surely these guys discuss contingencies. "If Option A is gone, who's our next choice?" Given the nature of the night, that's half the planning I would've thought.

That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

Turned 19 in July, so yes lots of work to do yet.

If they're anything like me on Fantasy Draft Night, it's quite easy to get rattled.

No, I agree. He's one year older, he's a professional sportsman in an elite training program for the past 12 months. He's looking a bit stronger than when he first joined the list.

They do it for a living though. It would be easy to understand if they were doing your job and got a bit flustered at a setback.

I think they just had absolutely no idea that anyone else even had Dixon on their radar at all.
