    Re: Djekurra a dog

    Maybe we can agree on a nickname for him, I can see some arguments over his name.

    57 is a little disappointing given we'll only have a couple live picks in the 70's if we get Sherman, but if he can play a role then it's worth it.

      DJ seems a decent enough nickname.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Trade week radio just suggesting that the hale deal to Hawks is pretty much done for their Campbell Brown pick (the one we want for Hill), so i cant see us getting anything other than their pick of 37. Will we fold and take that, coz if we give our harbrow pick for Sherman, then our 1st live pick will be 73
        I will never see #16 the same!!

          How about we just call him DJ...

          Probably paid overs, heard the Hawks were also interested, if he becomes a good player for us what he costs us means bugger all.

          Go DJ!!!

            Good point. Maybe that's why we did it

              Or a 1st if it's Hawthorn.

                      Yes is slightly over the odds but we had a need which on paper at least he can fill. We've backed ourselves in to develop him, lets hope it pays off.

                      Hopefully we see a bit of this next year as there wasn't much of it in 2010.

                        Dont start me on that. Hale for Brown, Hawks will be loving the system.

                          I agree that it's not too much to pay -- we're not really 'doing a Brisbane', Rocket and the list managers have obviously thought through the implications of the next few years with GC17 and GWS and realised that there won't be much value left in the draft, so draft picks are less valuable in the next few years.

                          Combined with the 20-25 age group void on the list, going after a few more ready made players that could play clear roles isn't really a bad idea, and would definitely give the list a lot more depth over the next few years.

                              I'll be interested to see what the club thinks Nathans role for us will be. Disappointed that we offered a third round pick for him. Thought a fourth round would get it over the line.

                                My nomination for his nickname, with a WOOF flavour (long-time posters will know what I'm talking about) would be:

                                "Djerry".

                                "Djezza" would work.. and we could go "Razzle-Djezzle" when he pulls a goal out of his butt.
