Bye bye Rawling

Rawlings will always keep his job as long as he gets one or two right

It's 2024. As much as I dislike him I think we can no longer blame Thruster Scott for our current woes.

69. J Crocker [who?]

If Will Phillips ever ends up a player and don't get me wrong, I'm still ****ing worried he won't, it hasn't been so much our recent drafting, it looks promising ish. It's the players we have recruited in. If that's Rawling's sole decision then so be it, but I wonder how much the coaches have had input into these mature recruits, because they are all ****ing hopeless.

I would have thought he'd have more of a say in trading rather than drafting?

 

[DocSholl]

Some generous ticks there

 

[apollo_creed]

How the **** is Duursma a tick based on current evidence?

Not commenting on whether he will or won’t be successful but there is absolutely no way he could be a tick at this stage.

And Goater and Bergman are ticks

No we're a great team with superstars everywhere. It's just bad luck that we are bottom two again.

[tick, with a huge asterisk obviously]

Add in all our mid-season draft picks during that time period and I think the only likely 'tick' is Brynn Teakle?

Rawlings first draft and trade period at North was 2020.

He joined the club following the 2019 draft. He joined a year after the Pickett/Powell pick trade even occurred. 2019 in hindsight was an absolute terrible draft to trade out of (i.e, it's one of the strongest drafts of the decade)

Also, the Covid draft.

His first non-Covid draft was (still majorly effected) was the JHF draft.

I think the last 2 drafts have been particularly good.

Are the ticks relative to the position they were taken in?

 

[3051]

I mean based off the Sheezel thread, Rawlings picked possibly the GOAT with pick #3 (and escape the JHF fiasco)! I think Harry puts enough credit in Rawling's bank to survive for a little longer yet.

Not especially.

Masterstroke to take one of the top prospects with a pick we had for being shite.

 

[Conundrum]

drafting can be a real crapshoot, hard to give him credit or knock him for results there, when every team will hit one some and whiff on some.

The trades have been awful though, no real impact from anyone traded in

 

[Waynesworld]

Rawlings first draft and trade period at North was 2020.

He joined the club following the 2019 draft. He joined a year after the Pickett/Powell pick trade even occurred.

So 2020 was an abject failure. Taking 3 similar one-paced midfielders, a scared small forward and an Elvis impersonator.

He was placed on gardening leave by WC in mid-2019 and joined in December 19. It's difficult to envisage a situation where the club traded out of the 2019 first round without his imput or sign-off, even if informal.

The whole 2020 off-season was a disaster and he's since been demoted.

No idea why folks are so willing to accept his performance. Assume it's because he's won a few Syds but really list management is where you need to be ruthless with your appointments.

I'm not accepting it, Im purely placing some balance into the discussion with some of those posts going as far back as 2018.

The club traded out of the 2019 draft in Oct 2019.

He wasn't at the club yet and I think some making out like he was some puppet master behind the scenes pulling the strings with staff he had never worked with, having signed a legal agreement with West Coast not to joint until December 2019 (after the draft) are putting a lot of mayo on history.

I don't think his drafting is the problem personally.

It's his list management/TPP management and trading that's the problem.

The contracts he's given to Stephens, McDonald, Simpkin, Zurhaar are far worse than any draft blunder imo.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

It staggers me that after cleaning out so many players since 2020 we still have a list with 20 blokes who probably are not going to make it or are done. We just replaced average players with worse players.
Greenwood
Stephenson
Corr
Taylor
Tucker
Shiels
Stephens
Fisher
CCJ
Phillips
Pink
Lazzaro (Sadly as he does a lot right)
Sellers
Drury
Free
Hansen
Out two co-captains both look to be struggling too.
Then we have the likes of Archer and Harvey, that are an outside chance.
WE still have huge turnover ahead of us, after five years of this???

We know we have the talent.

 

[Zondor]

We know we have the talent.

Yeah thanks for that Johnny Young. :stern look

 

[Zondor]

Hopefully we draft Tina Arena. Also I’ve been reliably informed that she didn’t get those lips by sucking oranges. :stern look

Brady ‘no tick’ Rawling.

Love this thread.
Finally, the open sewer that posters have been so desperate to slosh around in.
Should reduce the amount self-hating, chicken little posts in unrelated threads ... surely.

Wait he isn't gone. I had high hopes opening this thread

Brady has finally made an account. Worst job in history. Overseen the worst side in history. Peanut.
