    Went to a Christmas function last night and lots of people came up to me (non bulldogs) wanting to talk about JUH.

    Also the first indigenous boy to be number one since Des Headland in 1998. I think it is fantastic.

      Yes I love it when Naughty prowls that forward line. Poor kid has had rotten luck through injury.

          They've been reasonable overall I think. They could've been much more vocal in opposition to this instead they've used the process to push their case a bit and make us pay legitimately.
          It was their first ever pick 1, and we got it with a heap of round 2 and 3 picks. I certainly would be a little salty if it was us, the top pick is supposed to be for the worst team.
          Shame it's the Crows hey

            Yeah, NGA is a rot, no arguments from me.

            But there have been years where the most talented kids didn't even hit the draft and were squirreled away for the expansion teams (Jack Martin, Jeremy Cameron etc as examples).
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                What was the point of Ruccitio being there? I don't think that he understood what was happening.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Yep. I don't remember sitting in my seat in 2008 thinking "geez how lucky am I to be seeing this live? I'll be telling the grandkids all about tonight"

                        Really impressed by the advice from Headland.

                        It goes quick, make the most of it.

                          Did they happen to say where they were on track to?

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

                                Hearing Marra speak, not sure I've seen a calmer, more at-ease new draftee.

                                Get a game first and all that but I for one welcome our club's first Indigenous captain from 2025 onwards.
