Remember a few years back when no body wanted to poach our staff & we had high draft picks every year?
That was because we were a bog average / hopeless football team, with required players leaving on a pretty regular basis.
You get lots of high draft picks because you suck and / or your star players want out.
I'll take the odd team staff member being poached & shitty draft picks over being unsuccessful & at the bottom of the ladder every bloody day of the week.
Teams require consistency to stay on the top. Look at Richmond, Geelong. They don't lose staff or players, and they add what is required.
I think you guys need to stop repeating the same jokes and actually address the talent dissipation that we're experiencing. Teams require consistency to stay on the top. Look at Richmond, Geelong. They don't lose staff or players, and they add what is required. We've lost Witherden, Hinge, Noble, we have had a coaching staff repositioned in Noble's job and now we have lost Griffith. I hope i'm wrong, but from what we're experiencing, I don't think we will walk into 2021 like we did in 2020. Even if our squad is better (per se), the weakened coaching department may offset that and put us back a year or so. I hope i'm wrong, but I'm feeling less optimistic about the season.
Quite sure Richmond lost Caracella to Essendon last year, and have lost Leppa and McRae this year, all of whom are very highly rated.
Geelong have lost 5 of their staff, one of which is their main Doc.I think you guys need to stop repeating the same jokes and actually address the talent dissipation that we're experiencing.

Have you done the slightest bit of research to back this up? Richmond, Hawthorn and Geelong all lost key players and/or staff during their periods of dominance.
Yes, but did they lose a significant amount of talent over 1 off-season?
Lance Franklin also left the Hawks and they won the flag the next season, that's literally who many people consider the 2 best players this century and in the conversation in a list of all time greats leaving their sides and having little affect.Bomber and Ablett left at the same time and they won the premiership the next year.

How do you follow a club when you hate everything they do? I’m all for balance when assessing decisions made by the club (even though Noble and whoever this bloke is where not the clubs decision), but seriously how do you live in this zone. I assume after 2004 you thought the place was a rabble and disgrace because they ‘couldn’t even get 4 in a row’. It has to be hard to maintain the negativity.Wheels are coming off.
What lesson is that?
Given I've seen Selwyn present a number of times and know how highly regarded he is outside AFL circles, I doubt the club has got someone more credentialed they're bringing in. And if you think Danny Daly is more credentialed than David Noble you are deluded.
It is ok to accept that the club has been dealt a sh*t sandwich with the loss of Noble and Griffith and that their departures will be detrimental to the club and even further that why, if the club really is destined for big things, that key people are jumping ship now.
Selwyn has often been referred to glowingly by players doing long term injury rehab and his promotion to Melbourne is great career recognition for him.Pretty disappointing. Thought that sooner or later clubs might start poaching our medical staff after years of a great injury run. Hopefully, it is just a process rather than an individuals brilliance.

Seriously get a grip to say others clubs haven't lost players and staff is just plain ridiculous and stupid. Does the name Neil Balme ring a bell, what about Ablett jnr , cats won a premiership without him , and I'm over hearing about the loss of fringe players. Every year clubs lose on average 8-10 players. Get the hell over it..I think you guys need to stop repeating the same jokes and actually address the talent dissipation that we're experiencing.

Witherden and Hinge may be talented, just not as talented as 22 other players on our listI think you guys need to stop repeating the same jokes and actually address the talent dissipation that we're experiencing.
