Following our exes...................

[G-Mo77]

I've had a mate text me saying he has been good all year but this was his best game by far. Forward pressure was apparently excellent

Sadly he'd be a great fit for us right now. I really wanted both of Hannan and Long from our VFL team.

We didn't quite nail our selections at the end of 2016. Pretty sure we misread the draft order

To be fair to Liam he is doing it all with no support , Carlton are a mess.

Playing his 100th game today

Both would have been priceless in our forward line about now.

You mean on draft night and they were gone before we thought they would?

Only way we would have got them was draft them 19 and 26.

Yeah, that would have been a bit early.

Congratulations to Shaun Higgins who became a father for the first time at 5.45 this morning, a little girl called Josie.

Great stuff.

We misread the draft order by a big way

The Dockers sent picks 35, 43 and 61 to us in exchange for Hamling, pick 40 and pick 63.
We then sent picks 35 and 43 to Gold Coast for picks 26 and 80. Pick 26 got moved to 28 and Ben Long went at pick 25.

Had we kept picks 35 and 43 then I think we would have ended up with Lipinski and Hannan
There was a fair bit of speculation that had we used pick 19 on Long we would still have landed English at pick 28.

I guess it's a case of should have and would have but I think we pissed away the Hamling currency

So our list managers and recruiting were not as good as we thought they were?

We are finding that out atm.

Like many at the club I think everyone went for a nap after the GF. To me it wasn't J-Mac's and Dalrymples finest work.

We basically moved up the order to get Long and missed him meaning we took Lipinski 10 picks earlier than we could have.
We then wanted Hannan and missed him. Our natural picks would have landed both Lipinski and Hannan.

We lost Hamling for bugger all return.

Watching North v Hawks and knowing we took Matthew Fuller before Ben Brown, who was under our nose at Werribee (when they were one of the clubs we were aligned with), makes me really mad.

I guess the question is would we have developed him as a KPF?

Probably not.

I wouldn't be too upset, he would have been first ruck for us under Bevo and been injured more than he played.

Not that he's likely to remember anything about it now...
