Dear Knighter

[Knight Ryders]

Call it boredom or what you will, but if you could write a short letter to Knighter, what would you say?

Dear Knighter,

I hear you have shorten your list to three players for the No.5 draft pick. Assuming that Watts and NicNat are absolute certainties to be gone by then, I have my own thoughts on who we should be looking at. IMO, we have a bunch of very good midfielders, but not elite, with the possible exception of Myers. Since I believe that our forward line has some promise in it with Gumbleton and Neagle to spear head it in the future and the fact you can usually grab a decent KP defender later in the draft, I think we should grab the best available midfielder with our first draft pick. Here are my top 3:

1. Hamish Hartlett
A toss of the coin between Hartlett and Rich, but my gut feel is that Hartlett has more upside than Rich. The kid is all class who can importantly kick goals from the midfield, good in a clearance situation and has outstanding skills.

2. Daniel Rich
Probably win the NAB Rising Star next year as he is a ready made AFL footballer. Hard at it, classy and a raking left foot, you should snap him up if Port take Hartlett at 4.

3. Chris Yarran
He could slot into our forward line next year, but more importantly, if he has the potential to have greater endurance, he could be a midfield maestro. Skill and pace with a great nose for goal. He's a bit risker than Hartlett or Rich, as he is slightly unproven in the midfield.

Cheers,
Knight Ryders

I'm sorry but I can't stand this whole trying to dictate to the recruiters what we need. I'm sure they've got a decent grasp on what our club needs, they don't get paid for nothing.

Would you tell a qualified accountant how to do your tax return? Would you go to the doctor and proceed to give yourself a diagnosis? Would you defend yourself in court in the presence of your lawyer?

These people are the professionals, this is what they do for a living, I don't know how many times you've seen these kids play but it wouldn't be in the same stratosphere as what Keane et al have seen, not to mention all the private information they are allowed to review about the kids.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

I think it'd be more beneficial writing to Adrian Dodoro instead, the head recruiting manager down at Bomberland, but I hardly doubt they'd even consider outsider's opinions though as they'd know a lot more about the players then we ever will through interviews, etc.

Dear Knighter

Do you remember where I left the remote?

Dear Knighter and Dodoro,

We have enough midfielders. We need more talls. Please get either Vickery or Hurley with pick 5. You can never have enough KPPs.

Dear Dodoro,

Please recruit someone who will actually make it on to the park

Dear Dodoro,

What have you done with my Dear Knighter letter?

Dear Knighter,
I am missing the successful era of when Sheedy was coach, I believe this was begun with the acquisition of one skinny player who wore the number 4 for the bombers all those years ago.
Please re-draft one, D.McAlister.

Dear Dodoro,

What have you done with my Dear Knighter letter?

Dear DapperDon,

I burned it.

I take it you're not a fan of Kings of Leon, BtG?

Wasn't thinking of anyone in particular, as I avoid the radio like the plague. The album's decent, but gets old very very quickly.

PS - Defence is important too.

Dear Knighter,

Please do not draft Hurley instead of Rich. If not for your own sake, then for the sake of Dodoro's car door.
