Rosa would be a disasterous option unless a couple of picks and another player came with it.
He is getting carried along by a strong team, but he would struggle at a club with less depth.

Seaby would be a better option, but even he would have to come with good draft picks and another player as well.

Fev is the best pure FF in the comp (Lloyd included).
He has shown this by continually kicking goals despite limited chances.
If he was to be traded the club will except nothing less than top shelf.

Location: Not bloody close enough to the action!!
Narrowed down to 2 final candidates, Bond, McKenna and co got only one short interview, Bretty pulls out of Demons process, has second meeting with selection panel Friday and then Chauffeur driven to King Dicks. Stays for about 2 hours before heading off to MCG to watch Dees and Filth. We understand that the planned board meeting to ratify the unanimous decision of the Selection Panel has been averted because Sticks reported to Dick that they were now solid in their selection of Brett. It would only be going through the motions for formality sake. The board will ratify what ever King Dick decides. It appears certain now. We might even get confirmation before Monday, maybe even today. Ratts of Raheen! :wink:

Heard an interesting snippet about Pago Pago. He not only endorsed Ratts for the role, but said that his training drills are some of the best he had seen from a AC in years. He also said that Ratts had enormous respect from the players. He will be the first to congratulate him if appointed.


From Page 3 of: http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/dead- ... 52993.html

Quote:
One of those Carlton players who struggled with Pagan in his first season (2003) was the then-skipper Brett Ratten. Pagan's relationship with Ratten was much improved when the latter returned as his assistant — again, at the club's insistence.

"He's keen, he's enthusiastic. He's a Carlton person through and through. I think he'll do well." Ratten's Carlton pedigree was "certainly not going to do any harm".


Just heard of a supposedly secret meeting between the AFL and the management of 3 Melbourne clubs. The speculation is that the AFL recognize that the lists of the 3 clubs in question are among the worst that have ever played the game. They believe that their lists are shallow and as an act of evening up the competition and preventing any further tanking talk, may invoke a directive of additional assistance through the upcoming draft. If this eventuates then it means that Bichmond and the Dees are gunna get a legup of some sort. You can take it to the bank that we will get 3/4 of 7/8 of @#$%&! all. :evil:

It might be that the final 2 rounds will have no bearing on the final draft order. My tip is if this is agreed to, is that we will still get the first selection, but Melbourne will be slotted into place before our next pick. It could be like this (using cureent ladder order of the remaining clubs):

1: Blues, 2: Tiggies, 3: Dees, 4: Blues, then the Shockers, Puppies, Bummers, Crowbots, Brions, Aints, Swines, MudPies, Skippies, Dawks, Wet Toast, Power, Pussies then Tiggies, Blues, Dees before Round 2. The Feral black and yellow would get 2, 18 & 21. Melbourne would get: 3, 20 & 23.

This way we would get 1, 4, 19 & 22 before the trading period. 8)

The drum is that Priority Picks would then be eliminated forever. I could live with this if it comes about.

If I read you right, all that means is Richmond and melbourne get the 2nd Rd priority that they are entitled to. But Carlton gets another priority, this time 2nd round.

I can't see that happening

Just heard a bit more on this subject. The other 2 get early pick and pre 2nd round pick. We lose pick 3, get pick 4 but get another with them pre 2nd round. It don't make sense for Richmond, but that is what I'm being told. :?

Oh we are getting screwed all right, make no bones about it.

They f'en changed the rules last year to suit themselves in probably the greatest draft ever by stopping us getting 1 & 2. And now 1 f'en year later they want to change the rules again to make teams that were in finals last year or very close to it get a leg up on everyone else. Even though we've been close to the worst team over 5 years in the 110 year history of the comp.

Brizzy, you seriously can't be serious of what you've heard :?

And where is our pick that we were *edited* from last year.


This sucks big time and means we will be penalized again.


This is a *edited* outrage and means this is the third time in 5 years the AFL has retrospectively *edited* us up the ARSE.


If this is true then murder will be committed.

Love your work Brizzy....as always.

I'm watchin' this space before I listen to anything else.

You're the drum.

I don't doubt your information, but it's all a bit too contoversial for the Commission; they are not a good samaritan, I kid you not!

IF other clubs get another pick then we should get another first rounder.

Nothing short of Pick 1 3 and 4 will satisfy me if the the arses at AFL House want to deal in arse reaming retrospectivity. :evil:
