Just a very shitty trade week.
We gained nothing that helps us climb the ladder. Our best 22 is not improved. And all we have done is potentially hurt our chances at getting the best draftee possible.
Calm down mate.
To put this in perspective, this was our 2012 Prelim side:
B: L Thompson Rutten Doughty
HB: Smith Otten Reilly
C: Mackay S Thompson Vince
HF: Sloane Walker Petrenko
F: Callinan Tippett Porplyzia
FOLL: Jacobs Dangerfield van Berlo
I/C: Johncock Douglas Henderson Wright
Out of this 22 (which damn well nearly made a GF) is Rutten, Dogga, Vince, Pup, Nutta, Kurt, Porps and Stiffy. So 14 (or 64%) of these guys are still with us in 2015.
We definitely have the cattle to take us deep into September and now (hopefully) have some off field grunt to propel us upwards.
Lets see what the current playing squad can deliver under some new direction before we panic too much.
Sure, 2013 and 2014 were disappointing but we have no need to do a massive rebuild.
