My god it is a circle jerk about the pear on trade radio. “We really understand a players needs to explore all their option and are happy to help them if that is their choice... you told them to piss off and look at their options dickhead! Talking it up like they are the best at letting players under contract go as they are super awesome. Talk up every spud as if they are AA, Lobbe (didn’t play a game), dragged Aaron Young up on the stage after saying how awesome he is as a player (must have missed his AA nom), to say how awesome they are as a club, but then Young basically said he had a crap year...

Pavlov’s dogs they are, Kochie rings his dong and they all start salivating

Our development is very good ???
Yes, but what Sanders is saying is we generally take 2 or 3 years to turn players into first-22. Draftees don't make immediate impact. (e.g. Milera, Atkins, Doedee...really Lever is the only one recently that came straight in).

So if we go to the draft it will do nothing for us next year.

Wow, Crows are a disaster according to Kane and Lloyd. Lever and CC gone, no Gibbs and we will HAVE to go to the draft.

Oh no, what will we do
Luckily we have eight points in the bank with two Showdowns

No I’m saying it takes 3-4 years before they contribute

Given we tend to take things slow we would need to accelerate our methods by a further 2-3 years to be useful to us in the current window. Which ain’t happening

It would be so bad as our development isn’t so good that we can shave 2 or 3 years off their maturity

In truth we tend to take our time and not rush

So yes, it would be so bad
Yep, now is the time to change tyres, not rebuild the engine.

This is why I am all for trading out our first rounders for best 22 players this year.

Bulldogs are so stupid knocking back pick 11 for stringer.
My understanding is that it wasn't just Pick 11 for Stringer.

They trotted out the "we have offered pick 11..." line, but also wanted a pick in the Bulldogs 2nd rounder back, hence why the deal wasn't done.

Yeah gee, we'd likely end up with 3x 1st rounders this year to go with 2 next year. Would just hate to be set up for the future like that, it's just horrible...

I love that Tex is lambasted for saying the words "success", then the guys that had a go at him (like Dwayne) say things like:

Aaron Young has the age old dilemma - does he stay as a fringe player at a Premiership team like Power OR go a team that has no hope of winning it and play every game?

FFS - shark - jumped.

What about the players we've drafted over the last 2-3 years? Have they been kidnapped?
