Interesting point: Hamish Ogilvie has taken 30 picks in the national draft. 14 of them have been in the past 3 years.

Our recruiting team has been decimated over the last few years. This has impacted us severely
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
It depends on what you end up with, not what moves you make.
The draft is a fail if we spent big on acquiring Rozee and he failed here, which considering the mess we were (and probably still are to a degree) in certainly isn't out of the question.

Matty had McKernan as the next super talent or have you forgotten?
FFS. First we have my truth, now we have have my dictionary. That’s neither factual or even true.
That’s been discussed many times and your take is wrong.
It’s super ******* annoying when old, settled issues are brought to life again, just for the pleasure of the short of attention
Pyke didn’t have authority over Hamish.
The ******* end. Period
Have another hit on the pipe.
One thing McKernan has never lacked is talent, and Rendell’s record speaks for itself. Unlike you who bigs up nearly every possible recruit at some stage during a given year, to cover all bases!
Dogs listed him under Rendell haha
Probably because he didn't have a big leap, or electric pace, or a 60m kick, or run a marathon each day. The recruitment industry is obsessed with those visible attributes. His dad would never have been drafted either in the current day and age.
The interview said Pyke asked for speed which is different to asking for Gallucci.
At the time there were plenty of melts, 1 year in and no-one knows the effects of the s**t show that followed for the next 2 years.
Good environments produce good footballers. Crap ones spit kids out very quickly.
Agreed. Nobody has ever said Pyke asked for Gallucci specifically, to my knowledge.
If Nicks “asked for speed”, might we have skipped one or more of Schoenberg Pedlar and Berry for someone with more speed?

Pyke would have been pumped about Fogarty

The leader of the bunch.
I've also tried to forget about Jarrhan Jacky.

Yes it was. He was a rookie pick of Rendell. And a bloody good one.
Ash, Stephens, Serong vs McAsey?

Retaining Brad Crouch was the real disaster of that trade/draft period. Lynch may have gotten us another second round pick, but at the time we still could have gotten a pick in the low teens for Crouch, which should have been enough capital to beat Port to the punch. Instead we let him run his value down on and off field and got a second round selection for him 2 years later. One of the worst decisions the club made in recent history.

Kelly said we were never going to give b crouch a 5 year deal so why not trade him after he won the bnf? Unbelievably bad list management. Reid and whoever else involved should of been sacked.

We already had the picks.
Fremantle traded pick 6 (and a future 3rd) for pick 11, 23, 30 and 49.
We had picks 8, 15, 20 and 38... and received pick 13 for Mitch McGovern.
More than enough to grab that Fremantle pick and nab Ben King at least

Absolutely this. I argued this for a long time. We had the picks earlier as well so really could have got in on the front foot. Even if we could have only got to pick 5 it would have given us either rozee, b king or bailey smith. Still schittz me to this day

Not getting Rozee or Ben King was a major fail by our club. Smith is overrated and would have left after 2 years. Don't really rate him at all. King and Thilthorpe would probably be the most dominant forward line pairing ever seen. We should be targetting King end of 2022 when OOC. He will definitely leave GC imo.

If you believe what I was told, which has been verified by others here, we tried to trade Brad at the end of 2019 and the AFL kiboshed the deal.
There was a reason Barrett was so bullish on Brad to the Gold Coast that off-season.
