AFL 2010

And you scoffed at my tounge in cheek predictions, how close am I for the mid season W/L Ratio, not sure about the 1st part but it cpould still happen.

Biggest news story .......Crows sack Craigy mid season as crows slump to 3wins and 8 losses

No, you were wrong about the 1st part, it wouldn't be a big news story at all.

with not much being available in the draft for a few years where's the next batch champions coming from

True, Adelaide hasn't been consistently woeful like a few other clubs, and hence don't have a raft of top and priority draftees coming through.

Am I right in that, as of the next draft, there are no more priority picks?

[David]

Adelaide has drafted really well in the last two drafts - with a lot of players running around in the SANFL which will be good in a year or three.

Considering Goodwin and Edwards, along with Rutton and Bock weren't even selected in the national draft and had to wait for rookie/mid-season/pre-season drafts, you have to give players time.



I think the Gold Coast have a plethora of selections inside the first 20, maybe even 10 or more.

This is the worst year to finish bottom.

[Scotty]

Yeah I think the first two available picks for clubs other than GC are 4th and 6th?

[David]

Yep.

tyson edwards was also taken in the pre season draft


gundog, melbourne have been the second most disappointing club of the past 20 years, only to richmond.
in the last 5 years, melbourne have had no less than 5 top 5 draft picks.

how many have the crows had? NONE! EVER

[muzzington]

laidley will be an assitant coach at west coast next year.

done a bit of googling, and the only reference i found about laidley possibly joining west coast was before he signed with port.

he also signed with port for 2 years

On AFL Teams last night Parkin suggested Laidley might still go to West Coast after this year.

[bennymacca]

interesting.

wonder why he would do that, he must have been offered the job after worsfold

[muzzington]

I think Parkin might just be getting a tad senile.

Still great though.
