Yeah I see. If the core problem is that we didn’t have good picks due to our success, then why did we rely on the draft so much? I note that we also traded our first pick in the 2020 draft, and Geelong selected Max Holmes with the pick we gave them. He’s pretty good, so I don’t really think our...
...he was too slight for AFL.
2018 the quality was really poor after the top 20. Hard to pluck a gem after that. Ely Smith and Xavier O'Halloran the 2 players selected after RCD have hardly set the world alight. Ely Smith being delisted by Brisbane 2 years ago.
Where we stuffed up is not...
...for 10 clearances and 3 goals this week in VFL. He deserves a recall, and a chance to solidify our misfiring midfield. I would keep Xavier O'Halloran, and probably Callan Ward too due to a lack of options, with Harry Rowston probably not doing enough to demand a spot in the first team at this...

Okay I’ve put my coaches hat on for this next week’s game and have the following advice for Kingers, on the assumption that Green and Brown are both out.
The midfield has definitely been misfiring all year. To me, the best it looked was that second half against Brisbane where Callaghan spent a...

Hard to read.
Unfortunately lacked any focus on successive boards who are ultimately responsible for where we are now.
