Hindsight provides insight into Pitt's medical condition...Simpson we knew we were taking a large risk reward punt...We got close but lost??
I'll take the last 5 years of footy.They've been refreshingly good.
Last 5 years of recruiting could have been better,obviously.Bits of bad luck,judgement,location etc not gonna get obsessed about an inexact exercise I don't control.
Apeness took one year out from Aussie Rules to play rugby;had a successful reco and is coming back successfully from another knee issue while at Peel.Might be very handy indeed.There are others on the list who could be 200 gamers.
The Yeo draft yielded:Sheridan, Hayden Crozier (pick 20), Alex Forster (29), Lachie Neale (58) and Cameron Sutcliffe (71),so despite Forster not firing,the draft would be deemed a success.From memory Forster had an extra footy issue as well??

The Dogs have been the best at it recently(assisted by a couple of father sons which we ain't got).
Before recently they weren't.
