Opinion only .
Our program has stalled in the last 2-3 yrs . I believe we should have
1. Backed in Cegs and Lowden .
2. Kept our picks 18 and 19 and traded Sav for a second rdr and kept BB away from us
3. Not used 18 on JOR , not going to be a best 25 .
4 . Should have put a Stratton or Gus on the table . We are to deep in the HBF roles
Respect your opinion HBD, and in hindsight the BigBoy trade will probably end up a negative, but was wondering what your opinions were at the time when we recruited Hale, Burgers and Gibbo?
I know I felt we paid overs for Hale at the time and could not really see how he would add (as I saw him as an average ruck and average forward). I am so happy to have been proved wrong. I was always happy to have got Burgers, as he was always one of my favourite non-Hawks prior to coming. I admit having doubts after the first half season and with him already having had a knee issue, but again loving it now. Gibbo was another I thought was a good pickup, if nothing else so that he did not play on Buddy!
with all respect, I hope you are wrong on JOR. I have not seen much of him and realise your more experienced watcher of the Box Hill.
Are you sure we did not put Gus on the table?
Last night was a big wake up call wasn't it?
