Any surprises here from Andrejs Everitt?

Way to early to say. We also picked T.Hill with the pick we got with Vez.

I thought the extra pick was used on Skinner?

Yeah, it was. But it(the extra pick) also allowed us to take T.Hill as well at the same time is what I was meant to say.

Everitt wasn't playing for us - nor is Vez. At this stage only Williamstown have been impacted by the trade...

It really doesn't matter to me what Sydney decide to do with Everitt and I only see the win/loss from our side. If Vez can work his way into things throughout the year I will be happy with that - our current match committee were done with Everitt so he was never going to be an asset for us.

That is very true and it looks like they were right in make the decision to move him on. If he were still on our list though they may have played him round 1 and 2 ahead of Marcovic and we may have never got to see what Marcovic has got. I am very pleased with what I seen of Lucas Marcovic so far. I suppose Everitt is more versatile than Marcovic that he can play forward as well, but Marcovic would have to be my pick of the two right now.

I personally don't believe that is Everitt's problem.[/QUOTE]

You feel he was hard done by?
I liked the way he played, but he seemed a little immature or lacking in that basic stuff, blocking and marking up, that Rocket demands. Personally, I wish he had stayed but very happy to have Marcovic. he seems a bit more reliable.

Does anyone close to the club understand why Ves has yet to play AFL ? I only saw the first the first NAB cup effort and he looked good. Does he put in defensively?

Re: Any surprises here from Andrejs Everitt?

Nah GD I just don't think he is very good.

Some players can show great "potential" but not actually be very good. I think Everitt falls into this category.

There were varying opinions about why he didn't seem able to break into the team.
I'd feel a bit better about it if Vez was up and about. I'm wondering the same thing as Marcov....
He seemed to do well in the NAB ( which I saw none of but read some reports ) but what's keeping him out?

The following is direct from the Bulldogs website. I acknowledge that they may not be the most accurate source, though they should be. Since the question referred to when he could make it into the ones, I would assume at least one comeback game would be necessary at Williamstown. Hence 4 weeks at a minimum and a marked improvement in performance.

Injury List
Ryan Hargrave - (ankle) 2-3 weeks
Daniel Giansiracusa - (hamstring) 1 week
Patrick Veszpremi - (hand) 3-4 weeks
Easton Wood - (ankle) 6-7 weeks

No surprises here for me, omitted this week.

I feel horrible for saying it, but it gave me a small amount of happiness seeing that.

Another young tall from SA gets his chance down back this week for the Swans.

I know what you mean, but I feel it justifies our decision to trade him.

Re: Any surprises here from Andrejs Everitt?

Yep, I'm definitely at ease with the decision to trade him.

I don't really care one way or another, other than it represents another wasted first round pick in an age group where we could REALLY use some quality right now.
