not really, two players we could easily have had (had still)wether people like it or not
regardless some links to the club
but you will get 20 likes for that
Why worpel? other clubs passed on him to not exclusive to us like Dunkley was.

Because he was exactly what we needed at the end of 2017 (and desperately need now!) and we took THREE players before him.
Just because the Dunkley mistake was purely ours to make, doesn't make the Worpel non-selection any better a mistake.

So did 16 other clubs in both cases. Just because we overlook someone doesn't mean we would've got the same player as development has different outcomes between clubs due to circumstances that most wouldn't even think of. Stack might not of settled in Sydney like he did at Richmond and Worpel might only now be getting a game with us.
We might not of put the amount of effort into Stack that Richmond did to help him settle and he could be back in Perth already and Worpel is benefiting from Tom Mitchell breaking his leg and missing the year. What is to say he would've got the amount of gametime in the guts with us that he has at Hawthorn?
Its easy to say clubs miss players or stuff up the draft but you miss the point that the same player at a different club under a different system might struggle
Sydney Stack had a myriad of issues you cant blame the club, Richmond just have them move in either with the coach or president its worked for them in Martin and Stack.

Still a mistake. It's a mistake every club made, and one we definitely made. Worpel had all the makings of a gun throughout his entire U18s, and he fell right in the year where our midfield started to show it was on the decline. I just don't think our radar was right at all.

Integri what now?
Brown paper bags. Filled with cash. Lots of them. Irony is it's the AFL's cash keeping them afloat that's being returned anyway.

I’m actually kind of sad that Roughy has retired, one of the good guys in footy.

I wish I could credit Hawthorn's recruiting staff's brilliance on that one, but any club silly enough to get themselves into the draft at number 45, and come away with the best player of the lot is not brilliant. They're just ******* lucky!

I see Hardwick has made comment yet again in an umpiring issue. Why does he never get fined for doing so? Same goes for Clarkson and Scott.
