He is intensely risk-averse when it comes quicker types, and is obsessed with junior production without much regard for how that scales up to the higher level. He's not alone though, because Agresta is a factor here.

I too want footballers who football well but these are boys, not men, and there is a greater scope for projection. Then there's what he's done in terms of points of difference from trade & free agency versus the cost. All good players, but when you age the list like that you have to be in synergy with the rest of the football department, and in that respect 2021 & 2022 was a failure.

Being heavily data driven would explain the homogeneity his moves often fall into. I didn't like all the risks that SOS and Brodie took in an effort to elevate to the elite bracket, but they at least took logical risks.


I'm allowed to disagree... is everyone else allowed to escalate the response to abuse? What about mods?

Elijah Hewett and Jed Busslinger genuinely suit our list better, and genuinely were in that draft range. Hollands was the weakest rated of the three in assessments rather than club intel, including industry scouts who comment here and in publication.

Without proclaiming to be a very knowledgeable or keen draft watcher, I would have taken Hollands over Busslinger or Hewett.

Also I am not sure your argument about risk aversion is strictly accurate, especially with regards to Jesse Motlop, and probably later picks like Corey Durdin too.

I loved SOS as a player and revere him as a rightful top 10 or so player of all time, but he clearly wasn't flawless as our recruiting manager (such as bringing in so many ex GWS players and the Liam Stocker pick was a disaster)

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion mate, I am very very comfortable with Austin and Agesta leading our recruiting and drafting team myself.
