Every time I hear that word, straight away think of Wolf of Wall Street, beach party scene, playing pool, I laugh out loud.

That movie was a million times funnier than I was expecting before I saw it.

On what grounds, LM?
I thought he got the most of out of himself.

The fact that Adelaide chose him over Pavlich is my first point, Kenny had much more to offer the game than what he produced IMO.


I remember watching his first season, might have been 99. Wouldn't do much and then would just take the strongest mark with defenders all over him and you could see what he was picked for. Just so rarely found a way to play on his terms and got exposed. Sure he was slow, but Lynch didn't move much in his latter years for Brisbane.

To be fair nobody rated Pav enough that first year. I think Port picked Adam Morgan instead of Pav. Suddenly picking KM doesn't seem such a bad call.

to suggest that the crows overlooked pavlich to pick McGregor is in some ways a distortion and retelling of history.

as I understand it no one drafted pav in 1998.
so if the crows made an error..they certainly weren't the only ones.

there has been so many of these stories.

sam Mitchell is another who missed out on the first draft he was eligible for and went in the 30s in his second.
