Lets get this into perspective

[Mick]

king - will be delisted by the Tigers within 2 years
mckee - if we didn't get him who was going to play ruck ? - think again who was going to play ruck if Richo got injured - we had to got for a short term fix
monky - we could only expect 10 games at best - we'd all love to see him stay but we already have the 2 Gavs on the vets list
kinnear - don't know much about him but he is a tall defender and that's our weakness
ukovic - tall quick that can play back - good get
schauble - has never recovered since he put on 12kgs - won't embarras us - sends a great message to Tarrant, Kinnear etc that they must step up each year or their career will be cut short
fraser - great pick up but can't expect much for a few years
misiti - favourite son - will stay at Windy Hill
power - just re-signed
martyn - no way he'll leave North
wild - already been told by MM not to bother
Most of the negative postings have been consistently gutless - bag the Club for what they have done without tossing up an option for what they should have done.
The Top 10 is always a gamble - if Pavlich is so obviously terrific then the Club would have been stupid to not go for a ruckman and hope and pray that Freo didn't pick Pavlich - get real !
With Pick 7 we're still a good chance of securing someone we need - maybe another young ruckman eg Green- remember Fraser is being touted as more of a CHF than ruck.
Overall the sequence of our draft picks is substantially the same as when we started. If the Pies can pick up an out of contract player then they would have done well - although there's not much on offer at the moment.

Spot on Mick. After all , we have to improve 15 spots. Collingwood supporters have to get used to what the Essendons have been doing for the last ten years.

P.S.
Talking about Essendon, they let Ukivic go, and he is twice the prospect of King.

Well Mickel when you say it like that it does appear a little brighter,

And I did see a small highlights package of Mckee polaxing some Freo Docker which made me feel better.
