Freo don't draft WA kids (under the current regime).
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

What are your thoughts now? Worthy of the hype, or expectations need tempering?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Don't worry. I said don't draft Bont as well. Slow, soft and too outside. I was assured he had improved AFTER the carnival during his draft year but was not keen at pick 4.

Well, he just set the record for the number of contested marks in a game at age 19.
If that isn't worth of hype, well, nothing is. You could temper it and say he wasn't playing on 'anyone' (which is true) but he won a helluva lot of the footy...if only he could have grabbed a couple the week before (don't talk about holding, that's what happens to key forwards) we might have pinched that one as well.
I will keep saying it. We have a VERY TALENTED SIDE. Performances by our leaders similar to those that were dished up against Carlton are 100% unacceptable. We can and should beat the Lions this week.

No idea. It’s frustrating though.

Anyone guess (and it definitely wasn't me). Certainly proven to be a good call.

And ironically Jones and Daniel end up playing pretty much the same position! Jones looks happier sitting under a long bomb alongside the opposition monster but I'd rather CD have the ball in his hand running out of defence.

No happy ending though.

They are going to regret that.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Yes it was mentioned in numerous articles when he was drafted that he was born in Victoria. He actually stated pre-draft that he preferred to come to Melbourne than be drafted by Freo (we will ignore the fact that he said he would like to go to Collingwood). Luckily they went for Stephenson and we got a star that is unlikely to want to return west.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I reckon I’d be a close second if you’re around the 30 mark!
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.
