Top 5 Most Disappointing Recruits in 2016

[King Wavo]

Jetta and Redden far more disappointing then the last 3

With Carlisle you get all the behaviour problems of Bennell, all the ASASA issues of Melksham all for pick 5 and 600,000-800,000 a year. Classic St Kilda.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Aish has been ordinary tbh.

Under 600k actually champ. Come the end of Carlisle, Gresham and even White's careers I think you'll find we did very well out of pick 5.

Aish has been ordinary tbh.

Taken a while to look comfortable but he's improved, still only his 3rd year as well

That's a good point, I forgot you had the first round pick come back as well.

Adam Treloar

 

[Wild Bill]

Unfair to put carlisle and melksham in this IMO, not their fault

Standbyhird??

 

[Wild Bill]

Adam Treloar

He has been the best.

 

[TwentyNine]

Surely Carlisle tops the list? Bennell, Jetta, Redden, Aish, Yarran, Toumpas. Talia I can't count as a disappointment because you're a fool if you thought he had promise. Dixon, Sinclair have probably been a bit underwhelming without being disappointments necesarilly. Menzel will come good. Nathan Freeman, Jed Anderson arguably get a pass due to injury (though both were known issues so maybe not). Tom Bell? But he'd be fine if his coach was smart enough to play him in his best position.

 

[Snake Charmer]

He has been the best.

That guy who Geelong got has been better

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Jetta and Redden far more disappointing then the last 3

In that order?

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Jetta and Redden far more disappointing then the last 3

Really ?
we have got a few reasonable games out of both . Sure they have both been dropped but at least they have played

carslile and freeman have been a complete waste of your list space and draft picks this year .

 

[Established1870]

He has been the best.

Your sarcasm meter is broken?

Dixon, Sinclair have probably been a bit underwhelming without being disappointments necesarilly.

Dixon hasn't been underwhelming at all. For two seasons now he's gotten nothing but trash delivery but still gets goals.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Jimmy Toumpas hasn't been much chop.

Nobody expected anything from that turkey.

 

[TwentyNine]

Dixon hasn't been underwhelming at all. For two seasons now he's gotten nothing but trash delivery but still gets goals.

He has averaged nearly a goal a game less than he did last season and hasn't helped Port Adelaide get back into finals so yeah, underwhelming.

Injury, s**t house service that would make Lockett struggle for goals, no support whereas at GC he had Lynch, coaching that makes Mark Need look sophisticated. Need I go on?

 

[Cobbler]

Surely guys that have played and proven to spud it up are worse then guys who can't get on the field because of injury or suspension?

Jetta and Redden for what was given up have been deplorable.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

He has been the best.

not even close.

Zac Smith = best recruit this year

You can make excuses all you like, the results are what they are. Underwhelming.

 

[Established1870]

If you actually watched him play every week, you'd know these aren't excuses and that he's still playing well.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

take a pick out of

Yarran
Bennell
S Selwood
Sinclair
Jetta
Freeman
Carlisle (although, not his fault - he would have got St Kilda in the 8 by now)
Melksham (again not his fault, although Melbourne have covered him well)

 

[Old navy]

Yarran and Carlisle worst IMO. Both clubs giving up plenty of $$$
Both players been in the media for the wrong reasons.
Don't think either club would do these trades again if they had the chance.

how would Brown go being the ONLY KPF in a team, when your midfield is roving to Preuss?

 

[TallyHawk]

What has happened to Curtly Hampton, has he played a game for Crows yet?

 

[TwentyNine]

If you actually watched him play every week, you'd know these aren't excuses and that he's still playing well.

If you could look at it with an outside perspective you'd see it's a very simple assertion. Yes they are excuses, they're the definition of excuses. Yes he is playing well, I didn't say he isn't, but he's underwhelming given the hype he came with and the price you paid. You're welcome to disagree with me.

how would Brown go being the ONLY KPF in a team, when your midfield is roving to Preuss?

How would Tom Lynch go if Gold Coast had their six best midfielders constantly injured, roving to Nicholls? Given we didn't trade a top 10 pick to get Brown and given he's not already halfway through his career it's irrelevant.
