Not sure if I agree with your Jeff White comment. He has been very valuable over the years with the dockers and now demons. He was the only Demon to play all 22 games this season. I don't believe he is a waste of space.

and with the 04 draft. Richmond's selections came back to haunt them. They could have had Roughead and Franklin. 2 good tall marking forwards. Instead they got Deledio and Tambling. Both small crumbling forwards who have not lived up to potential.

Majority of this is fair, but Josh Fraser has been more than servicable for the pies, Luke Hodge is a gun, as well as Deledio. He is only going to get better.

Bryce Gibbs doesn't look as promising as everyone thought, but as he is only 18 years old its still hard to say. He will feature alot through carlton's midfield rotations next year and will benefit from it greatly. Expect the him to play well in the last half of next season.

And from the footage i have seen of Kruezer, he is very much Dean Cox like, in the way he moves and his use of the ball.

If Carlton secure Judd, they have a very VERY promising future ahead.

You dont know much mate, take Brett deledio. Franklin had a couple of good games not to mention kicked 2goals 11 the other week. But here some deledio stats :

He debuted for the Murray Bushrangers as the team's youngest squad member, before being selected with the first overall selection in the 2004 AFL Draft On August 31, 2005, Deledio was awarded for his outstanding season with the AFL Rising Star award, receiving 43 of a possible 45 votes. Deledio followed his Rising Star Award by also winning the AFL Players' Association Best First-Year Player Award, voted by his peer players.
Capping off his debut season, Deledio was chosen to represent Australia in the International Rules series for 2005, becoming the youngest Australian player in the competition's history. and is said to be better than chris judd with his lighting pace and kicking skills


Get your fax straight

[RoosyRocks]

Is said to be better than judd? is the person who says this sane?
BTW, dogga said franklin has more POTENTIAL, not is better! There is a huge difference.

Josh Fraser has been OK for Collingwood but I think it's fair to say we'd much rather Pavlich, or even Joel Corey.

I noticed you gave Cooney a nice review,wrong.Cooney is up and down like brides underwear has shown little flahes of brilliance but not enough.Cooney is a waste of talent so piss him off to the VFL where he belongs.It seems to me that Cooney needs a good kick up the *** to get his head on straight and maybe he will play better but Who knows and Who cares there whole team is sh*t.

1994 - He has been a fantastic ruckman for the Demons you need the kick.
1995 - Yes, he was **** I will admit it.
1996 - Yeah, All Australian but...
1997 - Umm, last year he was awesome but he has been pretty ordinary.
1998 - Yes, Headland isnt probably a no.1 pick.
1999 - Umm, he has been great, just injuries.
2000 - Yeah, great pick.
2001 - Well, Hodge is starting to catch up to Judd he is a perfect player for Hawthorn.
2002 - Yeah, he sucks. Wasted.
2003 - I dont rate him yet, still needs to do something
2004 - He is still young, jeez, let him develop.
2005 - He, like Deledio, is OK will just get better.
2006 - Mmmm, one year doesn't tell you everything, just wait.

Mate, that list of yours was pathetic. Give some of them credit!

havent lived up to potential?
id prefer both of them over roughead, who looks slow and no good below his knees.
Small forwards can be just as handy, and dangerous as the talls, as well. Ask a geelong supporter in the 2005 semi final!!!

and deledio, despite breaking his hand this year, and missing three games, still came fifth in our best and fairest, where as roughead wont make the top ten
