Re: Draft picks, Schmaft picks

Its hard to educate young players when they are surrounded by
a decade of senior losers- Richo, Bowden, Johnson etc etc

So we want slow guys who read the play well?

Actually JR could be exactly that
 
Tigers/Lions/Blues/Hawks bottomed out.

all of those clubs more or less bottomed out 3 years ago.
I still dont rate Carlton but geez RICHMONd are a joke.

How the hell does lions and hawks rebuild so quickly where we have been saying "wait for our kids to get better" for 20 years..
 
Re: Tigers/Lions/Blues/Hawks bottomed out.

Hawthorn still had an essentially good midfield group. Sam Mitchell, Crawford, Bateman etc. which allows them to at least get clearances and drive to the forward line.
 
Re: Draft picks, Schmaft picks

Pattison - Can't kick like a proper footballer
Jackson - Can't kick like a proper footballer
JON - Can't kick like a proper footballer
McGuane - Can't kick like a proper footballer
Graham (rookie) - Simply can't kick

Why do we recruit players that are not natural footballers?

Even with 1st pick in the draft we'll be true to form and choose a 65kg flanker.

We need to recruit footballers not athletes.

Let's start with recruiting kids that actually have talent!

Don't forget Port Adelaide either. They also have wonderful young players.

All three of these teams have kids that are substantially better then anything on our list.

I AM SO ANGRY...
 
Re: Draft picks, Schmaft picks


I have heard that there are some of the best kids ever in the draft this year and with our priority pick we will get 2 guys who are better than Franklin that will win multiples of premierships for the tigers in a few years.

Remember that miller is the guy who found carey. he is the best pick of gun footballers in the country and he will find us the guns before the other clubs do.
 
So we've bottomed out. Big deal!!

It had to happen honourable losses can't go on forever. The positive out of it is at his press conference TW said we've had the same players losing for some time and it's time for a CHANGE finally we might get a look at the bigger picture.
 
Unfortunately mate - To me last night is a HUGE deal.

Its not that we lost or the margin.

The manner of how we lost is the Point that no one should accept.

Their are No, NIL, ZERO, Zilch,................

Excuses for that manner of loss.

Its fine we're rebuilding but not turning up to play is inexcusable - (Sorry Foley - but it is a team game)
