So Solly and Copey, 2 of the players we made big bids for later proven to be duds and over the hill at 27. Thank God we failed in these 2 bids. Most RFC supporters didn't want either as "we" saw them for what they were. Solid ,but limited, half back *smile*ers and not worthy of big bucks.

Why then didn't the powers that be at RFC at the time not see?

The lesson still wasnt learnt as we finally landed one: McMahon. Will his story turn out the same as Solly/Copeland?

And the other champ we allegedly made overtures to has also retired: Kenny McGregor! There's a pattern emerging here!

So Miller was recruiting Scottish actors ?


(heh heh heh)

We may be being harsh on Miller by suggesting he was trying to recruit McGregor. My mail is that it was actually some young phenom named Magoo that he was chasing, and not McGregor.

Just clicked...........maybe Ken McGregor from Crows..........who retired a few days ago.

Policeman: Pull over
Harry: No, it's a cardigan but thanks for noticing.
Lloyd: Yeah, killer boots man

I was referring to Miller targetting him, not his retirement.

Well, it's the only McGregor I know in the AFL.

Don't remember Miller chasing him though.

Maybe it's McGough? Slow collingwood player who went across to StKilda

Lloyd: The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old fashioned romantic feeling where I'd do anything to bone her.

Harry: That's a special feeling, Lloyd.

;D

My apologies! I forgot we were hijacking this thread to Dumb and Dumber.

MacGregor.....Solomon......Copeland......heh heh heh that Miller was a funny guy. How I miss him.
This is what peeves me about Miller. People say TW gets an easy ride in the media, but Miller is the absolute golden child. Apart from Caro, he is always being referred to as "Recruiting Guru" , and when we sacked him, they carried on like we shot bambi. Even today I heard him on SEN being asked about the upcoming draft and trade period for his "expert" opinion.
Yet when he comes up with statements such as Terry needing another 5 years to get the job done at Richmond, no one has ever picked him up on his chasing these three, in particular Solomon, who was virtually a done deal. How many early draft picks would we have given up for 3 players that would certainly not have be there during Terry's so-called window of opporunity around 2011, let alone at the end of Terry's second 5 year tenure that Miller was pushing for.
It would be an interesting exercise to try to estimate which draft picks we would have sacrificed esp for Solomon and Copeland, to see which young players we would have missed out on, had these deals gone through

I hate it when people hijack threads but here goes...

Lloyd: Why you going to the airport, flying somewhere?
Mary: How'd you guess?
Lloyd: I saw your luggage, then when I noticed the airline ticket I put 2 and 2 together.
