Hopefully Walker will line up on Daniher one day

Walker kicked 6.3 on Daniher earlier in the year

here's a funny quote from the draft :roll:

Livewire forward Jarrhan Jacky is now a proud Crow, but he very nearly wasn't after an embarrassing gaffe by Adelaide's Matt Rendell at pick No.30. The club recruiting manager caused a minor stir when he called out Jack Grimes's registration number, despite Melbourne having already laid claim to him in the first round. Strictly speaking, the Crows could have been stripped of the pick, but Demetriou was prepared to turn a blind eye to the error.
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out. - Rodney Dangerfield (1921 - 2004)

Just on this, the question must be asked...

Why bother having a rule stating that you will lose the pick if you bugger it up and why bother having the AFL CEO stating this 1 minute before the draft starts if they arent going to enforce that rule?

Seems like a strange decision.

"Livewire" forward already...... gee I hope for his sake he goes better than "Scintillating" forward Luke Jericho and "Uncanny goal sneak" Matthew Bode :roll:

Watch the video on Jacky too


Watched all the videos - actually watched every single lad that was drafted.

Really impressed with Jacky ( he looks like he will be a star ) - he seems to play up the ground a bit from what I saw.

Sorry not sold on Dangefield but I guess we have to wait and see hey !!!
