Toast The Sam Power appreciation thread.

He came, he saw, he had a plan and he cleaned up.

If you ever had doubts about Power your apologies belong here.

Spoke to him at his brother’s 40th birthday a couple of years ago. Great bloke, and it was just before he came to us! Has done an amazing job the last two draft periods. Well done!
 
For the second year in a row Power has gone into the trade period with a clear strategy of holding our first and looking for mid-range role players to fill obvious holes in our list and smacked it out of the park on both occasions.
 
yeah, this will be the test of our new recruitment setup, IMO. wide open draft, mediocre first round pick, no obvious deficiencies that desperately need addressing.
Yeah, its the first post-Dalrymple test.

Bailey Smith and Rhylee West selected themselves last year. Lets see what Nick Austin's got.

Haven’t seen any apologies yet ...
The trade thread was full of doom and pessimism, blaming Sam for outcomes that hadn’t even happened. All you experts...

Great haul Sammy, a tidy trade period for us. 2 best 22 players and keeping our 1st pick? Bravo.

BTW I recommend you all do what I did, skip everything AFL related after the grand final and just tune in for the last 5 minutes of trade week. Much better skipping 100 pages of waffle.
