    Dogs Cut Vez

    Everitt is looking an even better trade.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    Vez

    Is gone, altogether. Sad, for someone with talent, but as we know, it takes more than that . . .

    Never prepared to do the hard work - even at Dogs level and certainly not at Swans level. Like Nick D but with much less skill and even less motivation.

    A dud draft choice.... we all know who was next in that draft..... somewhat rectified with the Everitt trade.

    Well done by the Swans not to persevere with him..... And find a trade.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    If memory serves it was Rioli. Is that right?
    Today's a draft of your epitaph

    I really thought he had a very bright future in his first year. He had a great burst of power/pace. I think he would have had a long career if he started in the 80s or 90s.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    He promised so much but delivered so little.... A shame really, as he was highly rated when we got him.

    Had talent alright. Whether his own body couldn't build the engine needed or he wouldn't do the work not sure. But just couldn't fit demands of the game

    A shame. A talented kid. How many from Emma Q's book on the 2007 draft are still playing?

    We need the ex-players' thread again. Lewis Johnston's six-goal back for the Crows is worth a shout.
    The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news

    From memory, all of them and pretty bloody well except Vespa.

    Cotchin, Big Boy McEvoy, Cyril, Brad Ebert and Vespa were the five main characters from memory.

    I've got that book packed away somewhere, I must drag it out for a re-read because it covers all the draftees in some way, it will be interesting to see how they all got on...

    I don't really read sports books at all, but I was given that book when it came out and flicked through the first page and ended up reading the whole thing. I thought it was well structured, fairly well written and was just fascinating as an insight into elite juniors.
