I agree most of the trade ins of late havE been hacks , I thought we were going alright when we bought in grigg, Houli, Chaplin and Maric , all be 200 game players so hard to argue . There's a gulf between that lot and Moore/Townsend and others. Recruiters have lost the plot and need to be accountable , NM have done a much better job at retaining high draft picks and adding to their core with qty experienced players via fa mainly or trade

Also speaks volumes to me Bo. Would these guys get 200 games at Hawthorn, Sydney, West Coast, Adelaide? Wouldn't have thought so. Sure those teams may have developed them to a level beyond what we've got them too, but we took them in after their early AFL development anyway. We're happy to house "toilers" for seasons, whereas good teams would have them traded out at the peak of their value. Ok, they filled a hole when we were a complete rabble, but they're the sort of players that will never take you deep in a finals campaign. All 3 of those highlighted have made consistent howling mistakes in pressure games (including those finals), over the last few years, something that good teams wouldn't put up with.

I agree that every team needs a large bunch of "B-graders", but this is our problem. For decades we've rated many of our players "good solid B-Graders", where in reality they'd be firmly on other teams D-list.

So agree that the recruiters need to be accountable, but they've hardly fired a shot beyond the first round draft picks. Trading has been abysmal via lack of action for mine.

lets look at Francis Jackson before Dimma he nailed a high percentage of his picks, after dimma we have been in the recycled hacks mode with a sprinkling of youth. Can someone correct me if im wrong?

Are they able to put up a list of draftees and trades in The FJ era?

That's bad reading and they're doing a review now?

the most ****ed up thing in that list is that Azza Edwards for Pick 73 was a ******* big time win for us, for a forward that could present, take a mark, get the ball moving with skill and what do we do? we run him out of town...not good enough Azzaaaa...the couple of shots you missed were unaccaptable dude..we require elite kicking ******* skills in this club FFS...what a ******* joke we are
 
Just to cheer all of you up , watched terry on Tuesday's, oops I meant dimmas dissection and again his words

We missed the third tall in our forward line, and guess who that third tall is.

Chocolates to whoever can guess first

Cleve Hughes?

R U OK?
 
I am ok dude...but that doesnt mean i am a.o.k, I just need to get back to posting positives again, before i can progress to being totally positive...I need to do a forensic investigation to my negativity and address why i am so negative ..;)

It's called the Richmond football club brother. I totally get it

Hey to quote our wise coach you might have to take a few steps back to go forward...:$
I've taken just about enough steps backwards to go forwards thank you. :( If we go anymore backwards we'll be entering last decade! Actually I take that back we have already entered last decade!
