OLMA FC CLUB STATEMENT:

With the happenings of this evening I thought I should take the chance to explain my actions. I mean absolutely no offence to the list mrpez put together, it was a solid list that would have more than likely been able to contend for a flag this year. However my thoughts are if I was to sneak a flag this year it would be a slightly hollow victory. I’d rather earn it with my own list on the back of my own merits! I had some good pieces to get some valuable picks, and kickstart a mini rebuild. Even with that amount of talent going out I feel there are definitely still enough pieces within this team to be competitive this year. Olma FC will be a force to be reckoned with again!

I have had a few drafts where I have taken just the one pick, but with Jordie_tackles having a full list and first pick coming in the 60's, will this be the first draft where a coach sits out?
And who would have thought it will be me? Have probably taken 35-40 picks over the last 4 years.
 
To address the trade, obvious reason was to compete with the top teams. I have always avoided any player over about 22 in previous trades so this move is a quantum change for the Sparrows. I would say 3 players I have taken on have about 3 season left so really I need a flag I that timeframe for this to be a success. In terms of what I gave up....a huge draft hand in what I am confident is the best draft in close to a decade, that was very hard to for me to let go of. I have put a heap of time into research and I will now likely be sitting out....

I wish Orasia Fantazio all the best, his comments are exactly how I felt after I inherited the iron mongers, I had players like pendbury, Ablett and Kennedy, Jack Riewoldt too (welcome back) but the success I may have had would not of felt my doing just that I was a caretaker.

Now 4 years later I feel I can compete and have set our latest coach on this same path.
