2009 AFL Draft Order
(2009/2010 Draft picks available here)
Could the Blues already have a replacement for Fev in the wings?
Was listening to the new breakfast show on MMM (radio station) via there podcast from last week. It was a show just after the Fev brownlow incident but before Carlton announced they were willing to trade Fev. Although they had a couple of interviews with Fev, the interview that made me think wasn’t with Fev, but instead was with a “retiring” player. The interview kept hitting a question. Why are you retiring when you still are good enough to play? What if another side wanted you to play your preferred position that your current club had moved you out of?
You may already have guessed who I am talking about (and if you look at the image, you will be in no doubt) but let me step sideways into the world of American Football, the NFL. They had a famous Quarter Back, Brett Farve. Last year he was traded from his traditional club after he retired and came back, but that original club had already filled his position and he would have to sit on the bench to play for them. He had a mixed year and hung up the boots at the end of the season again. But come the near start of the season, and with a club perfect fit for him, he came back and already, 3 games in, has won his side a last minute victory.
So back to the AFL. Carlton look set to trade Fev and will have no Full Forward but there is a man waiting in the wings, who almost was a Blue at the start of his career (via the Father and Son rule). Matthew Lloyd! What a perfect fit this would be for the Blues. Needing a Full Forward, Lloyd getting the boot from Full Forward at the Bombers.
What do you think? Its an outside thought, but this is the sort of thinking that AFL teams have to get better at!

Video: Hutchy gets the sam treatment (Plus the real news)
Craig Hutchison was on the Footy show last night and he was speculating and interviewing and possibly crying.
He started off with an interview with the girlfriend of injured Tiger, Graham Polak. The interview wasn’t anything special apart from to hear that Graham is doing well and slowly doing a few of the normal things of life. The highlight of that interview though was when Hutchy asked this question: “Was it good to see that positive signs through out the week?” Purhaps surprising to Hutchy the answer was that the positive signs were good to see. I a pretty sure if he had asked if the negitive signs were bad to see, she would have said yes to that as well.
