Hamish s**t drafting
And the fact a number of teams spoke to Carmichael and we were the only ones to talk to Turner
I’m at the point where I actually expect these moronic decisions from this club. Less *ing ropable these days, more numb to it now.Its probably not fair to compare these lads current form/games given Turner has only just returned from a foot injury..
But none of this is what pisses most of us off..
Whats infuriating is that we couldve had both these players..
Carmichael with our first and turner with our second as no other team was even going to pick Turner.
Its yet another bewildering decision from this moronic club.. and if Carmichael turns out to be a bloody good player our supporters should rightly be *ing ropable.
Yeah one playing forward and the other rotating between midfield and up forward.18:7 to 12:12 is the only stat that really matters there.

Frampton vibesThat's basically what we relied on to draft him. A big performance against us
Care to point out where I said that?so Hamish wouldn't have been involved in this decision at all? Woukdnt have popped a tape or 2 in the old VHS machine.
It was a SANFL top up, nothing more. They want to win the Premiership to prove the rebuild is working.Frampton vibes
Would be just us to waste games on a player who is out at the end of the year.
What people are not factoring here is had we taken carmichael, there would be next to no chance he would get a game with the AFL side anyway. Heck we have Cook, Newchurch, Worral, Borlase, McAsey running around week after week in the SANFL and they can't get a gig and they have been here far longer.It was a SANFL top up, nothing more.

Or hope he plays well enough to get someone to part with a 2nd rounder for himWould be just us to waste games on a player who is out at the end of the year.

Of course he would have watched footage and had input but the local scouts and likely Godden, Nick's and any other coaches that were in attendance at the Glenelg game where he performed so well would have had input.
Thank you.so Godden and nix are now talent ID people? They're the very definition of 'immediate', talent ID is about projection, if we've deliberately gone with bolstering our current SANFL team or adding yet another accumulator with limited hurt factor, then we need to gut the entire department. Why don't we just recruit the best handful of SANFL players each year?
No I haven’t, but I dare say recruiters across the league have and none of them thought Turner worthy of interviewing.Of course you've watched every game both players have played no doubt...
Any fair minded person would at least wait for a season or two before passing judgement on either player.
Actually no, that’s bullshit. We are sceptical given Hamish’s record and not one other club was interested in him.I must be different to most on here, I actually hope Turner turns out OK and gets to add to our AFL midfield/forward rotations as he certainly has a point of difference to several on our current AFL midfield roster. But in keeping with this board most appear to want him to fail as some form of vindication just so they can get their jollies.
What actually are you disagreeing about Mutineer? It would be good if you actually tried to rebut the points rather than with silly thumbs down.
That’s not explaining what you’re disagreeing with.

Presumably we felt that we could only take one pick due to list numbers at the end of season, and the limited number of out of contract players.Not many , if any , posters have said they hope he fails
Most are pointing out - quite rightly - the method the club took to get him
You have quite rightly pointed out we dont know the ins and outs of contract demands etc but on the surface it seems odd we went with Turner
Probably says more about our list manager and scoutsPresumably we felt that we could only take one pick due to list numbers at the end of season, and the limited number of out of contract players.
We rated Turner higher than Carmichael. So we drafted him.
No one wanted him last year for freeOr hope he plays well enough to get someone to part with a 2nd rounder for him
