Recruiting Mistakes In The TW Era

[WesternTiger]

allelujua brother. now more than ever is the time for youth. but you know what it wont happen wallace and miller are both desperately needing success to keep their jobs. neither is big enough to do what needs to be done. the trouble is the board have few footy people and are guided by these charlatans.

If they don't go after youth it certainly goes against what David King was stating a few weeks back on 3AW. Having said that whats the old saying - "a weeks a long time in football".

That one is starting to look to be right up there with Kent Kingsley. In fact it's worse, Kingsley didn't cost us a top 20 draft pick. What really irks me about the McMahon trade is I don't know why we even wanted him. He's not a game winner, he's not a KPP and he won't even play for another 10 years. Even in a thin draft 19 is going to get you a decent player and one who should give the club a good few years. Waste of a pick.

Yep, I called it our biggest trading and drafting mistake of the past 20 years. I stand by it. To trade a pick inside 20 for a skinny flanker is astounding. I have gone hard at it since day 1 and I stand by it. Having said that Jordan has had a typical Jordan McMahon year, hes no better nor worse then I thought. He just simply is not worth a top 20 pick. No other team would have made that deal. None. Scott Selwood, Callum Ward, Tom Collier ect or The Sanchez.

Disagree Jack, he singlehandly got Geelong over the line in the Freo game,(if you get a chance watch the last quarter, one of th best I have seen by a midfielder) he carved Port on the weekend. I think he has become the best midfielder at Geelong bar Ablett and Bartel. I think the kid is a marvel and has not suffered any second year blues.

*smile*! We must be living in a totally different universe if this kid Sellwood is not one of the hottest properties going around. Starting to worry me our thoughts here guys.
