He sounds homesick

I was wondering what had become of Aaron Black. Most of us were disapppointed at the time that we chose Fyfe over him. Now he's had 2 miserable years in Melbourne ruined by groin pain. Bring him home!

You're right there I don't remember massive outcries at us passing on Aaron for Fyfe, but he was highly rated I remember that much ... boy we dodged a bullet there didn't we. Imagine this season without Fyfe and another long term injured player on our list instead

As for the thread title ... where do you get the 'homesick' bit? He sounds all happy and professional to me?

Wishful thinking! Maybe we could do another McPharlin on him

I was fuming when I read on the AFL draft chat that we went with Fyfe over Black.. I never expected Black to slide to pick 20 let alone whatever North got him for. Isn't hindsight ****ing awesome?

I thought the same thing reading the article, the difference here is that McPharlin was pretty clear from about the same stage Black is at now that he wanted to come to WA. Black hasn't made any noises to that end AFAICT.

Never know though, let's get the BF vibe out there and see if it works

All the more reason to keep backing our recruiters in IMO.

The guy who insisted we get Fyfe left the club.

Phil Smart had a good track record with late picks. It was the early ones that he tended to burn, when they weren't traded away.
