On Cripps



On Cerra

The rumour around the Collegians is that Cerra has bought a house in Carlton. Tom Morris hadn't heard that rumour.
Interesting, but its only a rumour by nobody known as a good source.

Point is, there's quality mids out there wanting to come home to Melbourne, or move clubs within Melbourne, and its Austin's job to be talking to their management.

If we had 2 first rounders last year, rumour was we had a chance to get Oliver to Carlton. Pick 8 for Saad didn't help the cause.
No doubt Merrett is on Austin's radar. Would be remiss of him if he wasn't.

I would of thought so.

More likely bone vibration.

Ceres?

I guess you worked for the Hawks who called out Luke Franklin instead of Lance Franklin.

Yeah, um. Both Dow and Kennedy would have been off the board if we didn't recruit them using our picks.

The quality players on your hindsight list aren't responsible for our game plan and development.

Richmond's role players aren't better than Cuningham.

Kelly has already walked out on Geelong because he's from WA and has a young family.

hope we dont chase merrett and stays at ess. not giving another first rnd for a 27 yr old mid . Why cant fischer be our zac merrett

It doesn't matter if we step on toes, get the BEST in player development and develop the kids.

And get more kids.

Enough with the imports.

Unless they come cheap.

Ah phones hey!
The evidence is in front of you and you are still in denial

But Trev, he is right. You are showing a high degree of hindsight bias & you are also being very selective.
Plenty of good young players have also walked through the doors since we started this painful rebuild.
Having said that, still time for Dow (who I personally like) and O'Brien if they're good enough. How old are they? 21?
By Christ Trev, your old teammate Wayne Johnston didn't even debut till he was 21! He turned out alright didn't he?
On that note, what about your lovechild McAdam - what was he when he cracked that debut? 30 odd?

D'oh....

I c what I did....

Go Blues

Selective
Well thats a nice choice of words
I can interpret if as the guys we missed on
It’s in blue and white
I can tell 99 % certainty
O’Brien will be delisted at the end of the season
SOS totally [REDACTED] up pick 10
What young blokes have walked in the door ?
Name them
Johnston was a late bloomer
Tried out at Carlton went back to Prahan
What he always had was passion and effort
Go through the current list and tell me which ones have that
Dow explosive pace that’s just about it
Terrible kick poor game awareness
He is contracted till 2022
See what happens in the next 35 games for him because we won’t play finals in 2021

We are a results based industry
Why are we crap after 5.5 years of a rebuild
It’s List Management

Oh McAdam
The guy we got for nothing
Killed it at the draft camp in most key areas as a kid
Somehow overlooked shit happens
Goes back to Halls Creek
At the age of 21 off his own bat gets an apprenticeship in Adelaide and plays for Sturt as a small forward where he stars
Gets a crack at it in 2020 where he more than holds his own
Dropped 2 weeks ago gets back in and plays a ripper against the the Eagles
Is 23 rd in The Coleman averaging 2 goals a game not bad for a small forward in a below average side
His history suggested the perfect pedigree for a late bloomer

We passed him up for the ultimate cameo player and 2 picks in the 20s plus $700000 a year for 5 years of salary cap space
Only a dumb arse would manufacture this
He was granted the job by the board
Argument over dude

Turns 26 next month and is too inconsistent to retain a spot in the 15th placed team.
McAdam the messiah.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

We can agree to disagree on many things BV but that’s a ridiculous thing to say given the events of the last few years

How much of our lack of improvement is due to poor List Management?

That’s a question for you or anyone who wishes to answer
