Seeing as the other thread got hijacked by alcohol discussions I thought i'd chuck this here.
For anyone in the know, was Dean Dick expected to go in the first round of the rookie draft? Or did we just throw an absolute curve ball?
Because I'd be a bit dissappointed if we picked him up with our first pick if he was going to be around come pick 17?
Leigh Adams was extremely stiff not to get drafted in the real draft and In my opinion having seen him play a bit will have a very strong chance of becoming a 100+ game player. (Although similiar things were said about Ben Jolley, who was also Vic Metro captain.) My concerns are that we've let slip Leigh Adams to get Dick when we could possibly have had both?

Re: Rookie Question
I'm not at all familar with Dick or Adams, but your mention of Jolley is of interest to me in that his time at the Bombers really demonstrates what little chance a young player has to show his worth, or more to the point , how little chance some get to demonstrate their potential, v's others e,g, Hemo and Reynolds.rama_fan wrote:Seeing as the other thread got hijacked by alcohol discussions I thought i'd chuck this here.

Re: Rookie Question
I don't think it is very relevant. Yes some rookies turn out guns. How many don't? It isn't the same as completely f****** up a first round pick in the National Draft.rama_fan wrote:Seeing as the other thread got hijacked by alcohol discussions I thought i'd chuck this here.
