    mmmmm .... Goodesy was a mid range pick.

      As was O'Loughlin and O'Keefe. The drafting process is getting more professional every year, this year's draft is acknowledged as the weakest in a while and statistically, the best players come from the top. We can't assume that we have done well in the trades just because we have a chance of getting a fluke talent.

        So what? Occasionally there are diamonds in the rough like Goodes, but most of the times they are duds.

          Absolutely spot on.

          The one thing we do know i we have lost a gun ruckman for a rubbish first round pick in a weak draft.

            Maybe a Jetta or Panos, etc will fall back. There is some pretty good talent up until the 15th pick so we are in a decent position.

              Yes, we have lost a gun ruckman for what may turn out to be an ordinary pick, but there was no-one else interested in him and that gun ruckman has shown he's not a particularly loyal chap, so if he had stayed heaven only knows what he would have given us on field next season.

              You may have guessed that I'm right, royally peed off at Mr Jolly!

                  Roos gave the impression that Hawthorn were interested, but he wasn't willing to wait.

                    I have never read (from Jolly, Swans, his manager etc) anything stating that Jolly wanted to go to Collingwood. Where did all that come from?

                      Apparently

                      Swans will get McGlynn and Kennedy for a draft pick (second rounder my guess)
                      Swans WILL ONLY LET GO OF JOLLY IF they can sign Mumford
                      Swans may make last gasp move for Fevola

                        Are you Fevwit's manager or something?
                        Get over the Fevwit.

                            Mcglynn and Kennedy? Pelchardickhead will be after pick 14 i bet.

                            Apparently Mumford deal isn't quite a mere formality as has been said?

                              Well, that's exactly what we need - NOT!!!

                              Does anyone know if Seaby or Mumford are married or otherwise seriously involved?
