That was Gibbs' first year........Didn't another club try to poach Rogers and we promptly promoted him?

Holman will have a break out year in 2015, I see the talent and necessary desire and mongrel to get there.
I think that Rogers was advised of the clubs needs... i.e. the club knew that we were delisting Lucas and wanted someone else with outside run and had very good hand and foot skills. Rogers settled on Boekie and played fox and hounds with the other clubs. We knew who we wanted and we got him. We had to take him early because I reckon that Essendon were after him because of their incoming bans and their future needs of mature aged footballers who are ready to go.I'm rational enough to acknowledge my irrationality in questioning this pick...but yeah, I'm a little uneasy with it.
Rogers trying to soften the blow a few days out from the draft suggests, at least to me, that we had zeroed in on a player regardless of the how the cards were to fall. I don't like that.
Nor do I like that Rogers appears to be acting on the directive of the coaching staff rather than conducting a more independent talent identification process. Again, my impression only.
Feels a bit like 2010 where a perceived need for type saw us overlook plenty of other likely types.

Got his picks scrambled last week though.He's a good egg Rogers. Not surprised another club tried to poach him.
Dont try and bring logic into the argument some of the guys trying to knock him will just get upset with you.Maybe he's just really good at football and the 19th best player on the market.

Northcote FC?Didn't another club try to poach Rogers and we promptly promoted him?
Glad its gone. With his playing style and THAT topknot, he actually reminded me a lot of Sharrod Wellingham.The biggest relief is that it looks like he has got rid of the top knot. Would have been hard to support him if he was running around looking as ridiculous as Grundy or Hurley.
Yup... at least 3rd generation dutch AustralianChrist...keep it on track mods.
Think he's of dutch origins. Heard the name a lot when I was working OS...back in my holland-days

Would be interesting to know who else we might have passed on to get Blaine. Langford, Durdin, Lever, Garlett?Maybe he's just really good at football and the 19th best player on the market.
