You can add Boyd to that as well.

Silly or brilliant? The GWS strategy has been to accumulate all the best talent in the league, regardless of position. Then sell that back to everyone else for more picks or selected players in positions of need. This strategy ensures their ongoing success for at least a decade as the cycle repeats and they continue to hit the first round of every draft hard. They have made the absolute most of their concessions and they will continue to provide dividends for a very long time.

KPF are traditionally hard to come by. So by stock piling them all that is going to happen is every club without one (thats quite a few) will line up and sell their souls.
Spot on...I think it is a brilliant strategy. They effectively lost McCarthy and Treloar this year and have still improved considerably. So of the players that are still on the periphery they can trade for picks and still bring in players for areas they believe they are deficient in.

This is the great hypocrisy. The AFL spruik their equalization policies whilst creating a team to dominate the competition for years.

The way that they punished Sydney - who were working within the parameters set by the AFL-for getting Franklin just shows how much bias they have towards GWS.
And Sydney is the second favourite of them

Thank god they either haven't drafted particularly well or got a fair chunk of their draft concessions in weak drafts

Great point, I think their drafting has been terrible considering the number of picks they've had. Other clubs cop a thrashing when their single top 10 pick fails. GWS have had more fails than wins out of their top 10 picks. It's just the sheer volume of picks that has meant they were still able to find good players.

Well it was Steve Silvagni, the most over rated person ever in football history

OMG PLEASE BE TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most overrated recruiter out there. Expert at picking spuds who cannot kick !!
 
I'm mystified by the Hine hate ...

2016:

He gets in players like Treloar, Howe, Smith who will be top 10 Copeland in their first year.

Aish is coming good. Wills is looking promising. Crocker and Philips have shown glimpses at senior level.

What are we seriously expecting of new recruits?

Sure, Golds has been a bust ... And the jury is still out on Sier. But do we want to let Hine go over that?

2015:

Moore is going to be a gun. Cox is coming along just dandy. Maynard is developing well. DeGoey is in a current form slump but has shown good promise.

Manteit, Abbott were busts, plus probably Goodyear.

Because people love to complain and winge.
And after the event people are experts.
Hine brought in Pendlebury.
Hine is super well regarded in the industry.
I've heard direct from a high recruiter of a flag side (not us) and he said Hine is as well regarded as anyone, as is Rendell.
But Derek is human, he's not infallible.
Infallibility only applies to posters AFTER the event, experts.
