Fair enough - I missed that.
Damn you, Boot.

I genuinely hope that doesnât happen. I suspect you may be correct though or alternatively it will just become painful.
I think Tom Mitchell could be a seriously good player.
Gee Taranto looks good. I warned the club about passing up on the Italian kids. When will they freaking learn!
They just resigned Fantasia so maybe theyâre learning
Need more.
Will play, and will be given Puopulo as his first task in AFL. Has the speed, the leap to go with him. Will struggle with strength and obviously experience. But heâs only going to get it one way.
Welcome to the big time kid, youâre gonna be a star.
Sack Dodoro⌠no waitâŚ
I donât think Reboot was saying that. Isnât his point that youâd take T Mitchell and OâMeara in 2017 over the present versions of S Mitchell and Lewis, not their peak versions? Iâd agree to that.
And itâs technically not saying that the new duo are better than the old duo
I know some people are questioning why would we manage him in the JLT and it looks like it could potentionally hurt him running out afl games but Iâm thinking thats totally incorrect. Think we will manage him through the year but I donât want him burning out either. I do trust what worsfold and Mr crow are doing with the players, theyâve done a supurb job over the last year.
Keep in mind that one of Andyâs traits is coming on strong in the last quarter of games.
Agreed. Anyone who doesnât think that these guys have every minute of their training managed in the pre-season is kidding themselves, and that includes JLT games.I would imagine that these blokes have been run ragged over the past few months to get the kâs into their legs, building the base that will carry them through the season proper. It could partly explain the blazing 1st halves we have had and then the drop off in effort in the 2nd.
I am confident that we will see a very different team run out on to the field and compete for 100% of the game against the Hawks. I hope that team will include young Pigeon and we see the turn of speed and late game endurance he was talked up for.
I canât believe Wannabe Jr wasnât the #1 pick of the AFL captains to win the Rising Star.
I like whoever picked Watson to win the Brownlow, though.

I have absolutely âno doubtâ who made that pick
Cotchin?
I think heâs going to be on the footy show in a moment.
was he on it? i might consider skipping though 98% of the show so i can watch him on there

Yeah he was on itâŚhe seemed very looseâŚwasnât afraid to speak his mindâŚI liked it.
If you give it a little while, I reckon the club will put up his bit on the website today.
I guess we need to compare Mitchell and OâMeara to Hawks likely picks at the draft.
Pick 10 (2017 1st rnd pick, 23, 36) + Pick 14.
14 - Todd Marshall - Mitchell
10 - Jack Bowes - OâMeara
now you would say Hawks are winning on those trades early on.
If OâMeara does a knee or Marshall turns into elite forward things may change
Mitchell is a gun mid.
And will be a better player when he is not restricted midfield minutes due to so many other good mids in the team. He is a work horse. This will be his best fantasy year. As he is a contested ball winner, clubs wont tag him.
His knock at the swans was he is poor by foot (In comparison to Parker/Hanneberry/Kennedy). Well he is not Sam mitchell as far as can use any side and hit a target under pressure, think more Justin Murphy bombing the ball forward from a stoppage, Ok probably a bit better than his kicking.
I would have loved Mitchell at Essendon.

Hawks wouldnât have got Bowes, he was a GC academy selection. Likely Oli Florent, who went to Sydney at pick 11.
