    Could not agree more. They have cynically exploited the draft rules with their tanking, they colluded with GC and GWS to ensure Viney slipped to pick 26, they received outlandish compensation for losing Scully. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

    I don't rate Dawes but they'll have Dawes, Hogan and Clark in their forward line for the next few years. They have good key defenders with Frawley, Garland and Tom McNamara - when their young midfield develops they should improve quicker than most are suggesting, so I find it unfathomable that even more support via draft picks might be coming their way.

    I still hate them for Round 22 1987

    They've got Jackson in there to kick some heads in.
    They'll start from top to bottom, but for mine no draft picks as this would make a mockery of that sham tanking fine situation.

    Dodgy, doesn't begin. Apparently I'm still annoyed about that.
