Our side last night

**Mug Punter** · 27th March 2016, 10:08 PM

Had the following composition (assume Tom is a first rounder even though technically F/S)

EIGHT!!!!!! Rookie elevations (Harry, Reg, Jack, Smith, Lloyd, Rampe, Robbo, Papley)
FOUR Recycled/traded players (Sinclair, Talia, Laidler, JPK)
TWO Free agents (Tippett, Buddy)
FOUR First round draft picks (Heeney, Mills, Jones, Tom)
THREE Second round draft picks (Hewett, Towers, Hanners)
ONE Third round draft picks (Parker)

This really should be circulated to anyone casting aspersions on our success and claiming we have an unfair advantage

You might find that Reid didn't play last night.

Also, Hannebery was a second-rounder - pick 30.

Noted and corrected

I thought we traded in tippet?

**Triple B** · 27th March 2016, 11:21 PM

I thought we got him in the preseason draft...

I think you are right but the general gist of the summary is that him and Buddy are really the only established stars we got in against their club's will, the rest have been through astute trades and rookie list management on the whole

MP there is no doubt when reading and listening to mainstream media there are a few thought starters from this site

But we might need to make it easier like this thread and not burying it in our 113 page threads

I think I heard Longmire say that there are only 5 players still in the team from when he took over in 2011. Just shows what turnover in team we have had in 5 years!

Oh man... what a steal Parker was for a round 3 pick.

Could end up being a greater steal than Goodes the way Parker is going. Was only 19 when he won his first premierships and now at 23 is already part of the leadership group.

In that list, I'd prefer it if Ben McGlynn was kept out of the side in favour of Papley.

McGlynn again being criminally underrated, he will be a valuable member of our starting 22 once he is fit enough. One of our best two-way runners and a goal-kicking midfielder, not to mention his ability to play a run-with role if requires.

He was. I'm a huge fan but I think you'd have to question whether his body will still allow him to be that player.
