Love this bloke
i love him more
The Bwoos didn't...I also like Kane Lambert.
Ah yes the depth players.We had to get guys like Pettard, Edwards, Hammmmaaaaa, Knights, Chaplin etc all in to increase depth and talent. It can't all come from the draft. We got those guys in and went from the bottom to winning games and making finals. Then we started winning them. It's all part of the journey and process. And anyone who can't understand that knows 0 about footy.
Ah yes the depth players.
Petterd was the discard who we got good service from. Arguably the best of that lot.
Edwards was a dead eye dick at the kangas but couldn't hit up a barn wall for us. More useful as a +1 for Dusty at the brownlow.
Hamma was always a spud. Got silver service at carlton and still couldn't deliver sh*t. Was never gonna work for us. I particularly loathed that trade.
I reckon Knights could have been a Grigg/Houli for us if his body held up. A real shame.
Chaplin brought the experience that helped Rance become RANCE. Was ok til he wasn't... That Nahas incident... eeyyykk... had to go.
When you think of it Dimma had a lot of sh*t to clean out in his first few years. Those players were replaced with more servicable role players .The best bit is that we lost none of our elite talent bar Lids (which.worked in our favour anyway) even through the infancy of GWS and GCS. Remarkable really.
You've totally missed the point of how those bigger bodies came in (along with Greg and Houli) and allowed our guys to grow and develop. Funny how you dismiss those players, yet, under Hardwick (who in 2010 when he took over) he didn't win a game for his first 10 matches, yet by 2013 we were playing finals. But, i'm sure your AFL career stacks up to anyone of those mentioned "who can't play the game".
I agree with your assessment, however, there are some very few exceptions such as Lambert who we drafted late, was under Cartons nose. Others wrongly keep throwing up the names of players who we either targeted or took by trading for. I think most posters who have named players here have misinterpreted what you are saying. You need to say players delisted or not required by their club. I also must be pessimistic as I have seen very few examples of players that are not required even turning into serviceable soldiers. Most become list cloggers.Call me pessimistic, but we have yet to turn a discard into even a serviceable player. The good players we got from other clubs were all either wanted, or wanted but were stuck behind other players.
Agree, but I reckon Champlin was quite a good player. At the end of his career when he arrived but I think he is a bit under rated on here I think, maybe because we had to put up with Port supporters constantly hating him.I agree with your assessment, however, there are some very few exceptions such as Lambert who we drafted late, was under Cartons nose.

Can you point out where I said they couldn't play the game.... read my comments on Chaplin and you will see I backed your point re: developing other players. Could go on but won't. Got footy trophies to shine lol.
I hope your cricket sledges are better than this.
But that aeroplane goal....Chaplin was horrible
But that aeroplane goal....
You don't want Galluci because he was delisted by the wooden spooners? Seems a bit myopic. Who do you rate? Geelong cos they finished second?Nank and caddy were let go because they were behind others so wanted to leave for opportunities and the club needed cap space. Were talking about a player delisted by the Spooner here
Yes, I don't want a player who could barely get a game for and was then delisted by the wooden Spooner who lost what, their first 14 games? That's controversial how?You don't want Galluci because he was delisted by the wooden spooners? Seems a bit myopic. Who do you rate? Geelong cos they finished second?
I don't know anything about Galluci except that he is training in Melbourne. Is injury prone etc. It was a surprise to hear that he got invited to train but I'm coming around to the idea of having him on our list for a year. Rookie wages. Tick. RCD, Dow, Ross, Martyn, Cumberland, Ralphsmith, Stack depth

Chaplin was massive for us in moulding a young backline. Rance, Astbury, Grimes, Vlastuin, Houli all benefited massively from having Chaplin on the field.Agree, but I reckon Champlin was quite a good player. At the end of his career when he arrived but I think he is a bit under rated on here I think, maybe because we had to put up with Port supporters constantly hating him.
Like Grimes, short, Baker, Lambert, Castagna, broad, Pickett?Because the alternative is having empty spots on the lists or selecting a kid not deemed good enough for one or more national and rookie drafts

But he was elite at yelling at his teammatesChaplin was horrible
