So after the draft & much said about squad age profile to ensure the youngsters learn from the more experienced, etc. ... I hope we have fixed the big issues with our player development that we seem to have struggled with for a few years. Whilst other clubs have developed we've stagnated...
We have yet to see if we as fans can trust the club to be able to develop our younger players.
The reaction in the box after the Addinsall bid was matched strongly looked as if it we thought we were a very strong chance to get him.
Once we decided not to go all in to chew up GC points and then GC did heaps of pick swaps to gain points we should have realised it was forlorn.
The ONLY "if" was if we were so desperate for Lindsay and knew Hawthorn would take him.
But Hawthorn doing the trade probably tells us they weren't.
