    Quite perplexing.
    Fuller was in the real draft with a decent pick and was also 23 when we picked him. Don’t quite think a swing in the mid season draft is quite as egregious.

      I guess the likeness was that it was someone not exactly setting the world on fire in the SANFL as a pick up.

      Full disclosure, I know pretty much nothing about Rypstra, so I hope he is great, but he's putting up Arty Jones numbers in the SANFL right now, so it is certainly speculative.

      I just find it hard to understand that Bianco wouldn't get picked up by us, or anyone else. Arguably the best performed player in the undefeated top side.....hopefully not another Lachie Sullivan scenario.

        What exactly is a Lachie Sullivan Scenario?

          Just that he was B&F 2 years in a row for Footscray, and unfortunately ended up on the pies list rather than ours.

            And has had minimal impact, only really getting games due to injuries. Only 15 touches on Friday night despite a good role with CBAs.

            If we had picked Sullivan, he was only ever going to be depth. I'm glad we chose guys with potential to improve.

              I don't see that as unfortunate.

              He is just a stop gap for Collingwood. While we have had a few drafted by us and others from Footscray the best is probably Ben Long and Jordan Boyd.

              We haven't really been burnt by anyone we bypassed.

                Pretty sure we were going to pick Ben, but Saints pounced before we could.

                          He is living with Harmes.

                            So you're saying he's back doored him?

                            I don't know if that's how it works.
                            TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                              Pretty sure he will be wearing the #41 and I'm keen to see how he performs on the track on Wednesday.
                              For what it's worth he didn't get onto the track until after the main session had completed.
