Glad it's done, no hard feelings towards Sandy, it's just clear that it hasn't worked for either Club and both have been significant contributors to that.
Like I don't mean this in a bad way, but aren't the Swans reserves even more tragic than Sandy are?
Dodson looks the goods but need that body of work before I'd be confident throwing him into the regular AFL ruckman bucket.
To be fair on the overlooked comments, going Small Tall Tall in Tall Small Small Drafts (McEvoy being a great player notwithstanding) across 06, 07 and 08 probably wasn't the smartest set of moves from our list management overall
How do you change that? Is it a salary thing and we're not paying the $120k-ish that Sandy are entitled to spend, is it a question of serious intent to go far in the competition, or is it a series of intangibles or unchangeable factors.
Milne for now, but I think it will be Wilkie by end of career. Sinclair a shout, but probably needs at least another 2 AA or B&F seasons before he comes into consideration after being such a slow burn.
Is Hayes up and about yet? After Clarke and Jones he's probably the other one from an "should be competing for best 22" that's been unfortunately a bit injury prone.
