Seems like a lot of trouble to go to when top ups can be used. A scatter gun approach can work in finding a player though it feels kinda rushed and unprepared (could be totally wrong on that) from the recruiting team which generally doesn't net good results
Are Berry and McCluggage still a package deal? Berry is a good footballer but probably hasn't delivered on his potential (lots don't) but still worthy of keeping in my opinion.
Ralph lacks creditability. If you are going to talk about inequality you need to discuss all of them not one in isolation. The discussion on Hawthorne being at a disadvantage due to draft inequality - what a lot of s**t. They won many flags due to draft inequalities from GC and GWS coming in...
We have plenty of heart and soul, just that this years hasn't started as well as we would like. Perhaps it will be down year, so be it but I am tipping a fight back.
Agreed, KP's are very hit and miss - how many early draft picks have we missed on KP's. I like the method - while at the top we can afford a couple of misses in the hope of getting a few for the next generation team then continue to build around them.
Well that is a surprise. I'll take it though. Just like to thank the club, players and sponsors. To the opposition well played but just wasn't your year but really this one is for the Fans! The Bigfooty Cup is coming home!!! You beauty!!!
Money or hopefully the Cup. What is the chance Westcoast will be challenging in five years time. Tough decision. All the best Dev in whatever decision you make.
You don't try and get rid of an A grade player unless there is an issue. Issues can be resolved though as some people do mature over time. The length of current contract is also an issue. Melbourne might pay some of his contract as his value has probably diminished.
Without any evidence I think the science behind ACL's has gotten a lot better. Would love to know the strike rate of a player returning and playing at a high level versus not returning for the last 5 years versus 20 years ago.
