You getting Laird to agree with this?Barrett might be a flog. But he’s right. We are boring. And we should be doing everything we can to come over the top for JHF. Laird and next year’s first. Thanks for coming.

Yeah wishful thinking, I know.You getting Laird to agree with this?
Thought Damo made a good point in his sliding doors column on AFL.COM.AU.
Very evident of the last few years with below average drafting and only ever targeting one player. I laugh every year when Poort fail to get players but i admire how relevant they try and be every year with recruits

IF...
Izak Rankine from Gold Coast is already a "lock" and pick No.5 in this year's draft will at least in part be required to transact that...
THEN...
why not also have a throw the stumps at Jason Horne-Francis, particularly while the Power and the Roos remain poles apart on what needs to be done? It may be 100-1, but why not engage with the Suns on a creative way to utilise pick No.5? And then obviously offer your first pick in next year's draft, as well as a very good player? But I bet they won't because this club has become pretty boring.

Not quite true, we have bode, frampton, downsborough and a few others from the perennial march premiersApparently in our entire history we've only recruited 5 players that had previously played in a Premiership.

Is this something we may need to look at in the future?

We've become boring because previously every time we made some noise, the Vic Croc-of-Shit media came down on us like a tonne of bricksThought Damo made a good point in his sliding doors column on AFL.COM.AU.

Even if he is right about us being boring, he's wrong about the reason. Why the * would we even attempt to get JHF with pick 5 already gone on Rankine? They will want two firsts at least, which we can't offer.
I agree with the below average drafting. I acknowledge it is harder for SA clubs WA clubs etc to attract players then if we were in Melbourne for example. Lists sports haven't helped but as we lets say before Rankine we have 4 areas/spots that need attention for instance then Rankine fills one of those spots. In they ideal world I'd like us to fill a couple spots this draft period and a couple next draft period. Not the one spot a year approach.Thought Damo made a good point in his sliding doors column on AFL.COM.AU.

Maybe we should have gone harder for Zaine CordyApparently in our entire history we've only recruited 5 players that had previously played in a Premiership.

Who are the "bodies powerful mids" we haven't gone after since 2015?I agree with the below average drafting.

I'd also love it if we targeted our most pressing need a big bodies powerful mid and we haven't had one since we lost Danger at the end of 2015. That is not far of a decade as we wont have one in 2023 either.
This ought to get the pro and anti Rendell discussion going
Maybe he's got a job offer on the table.Stacked! There's that magic word again.

What a tool. I'd rather be boring than having scandals and negative stories coming out like we have in the past!Thought Damo made a good point in his sliding doors column on AFL.COM.AU.
