I don't think they're that different to us except Gawn and Kozzie are well ahead of any of our best players and they didn't sell their future for another flag, bringing in cheaper options like Checkers and Steele. Roo, Windsor, Latrelle, Langford and Lindsay all look good but I think we have as much young talent albeit injured.
Yeah that's not good. It makes me chuckle when I realise that they all come from the same draft as Nick Daicos and JHF, who have been performing well for a while now. Mac Andrew, Sam Darcy, Wanganeen-Milera، Lohmann, Matthew Johnson from Freo, Mitchito Owens, Jake Soligo all come from this draft.

There’s a bit of research there.This is our run from 2017-2022

I know I'm being a bit harsh on Ben Miller and MRJ, but I need to be confident they won't go the other way before putting a check next to their name. Feel free to do your own ratings.
Point is, this is ordinary. Not one star drafted in this period, and only Lynch was AA-worthy in a Richmond jumper from those we traded in. We can't use our draft pick position as an excuse if we then don't bring in quality players like Geelong and Sydney do. Keeping our picks is a list management decision in of itself.
Why does Blair Hartley still have a job with us after this? I don't get it. We give Matt Clarke crap for stuffing up our drafting, but why Blair Hartley goes under the radar is beyond me. His position should be thoroughly reviewed
Yeah.
Good question, is it selection or development? Hard to tell sometimes, but the outcome remains bad either way. The results speak for themselves. We’ve already changed the development staff and our national recruiter and things started looking better over the last couple of years, but let’s see if the duds have actually left the building. If the current couple of drafts/trades bust over the next few years, then Hartley is next.
I can’t quite remember what was happening from 2017 - 2020 that may have changed the way we drafted and the picks we had.
What about the coach me thinks King is way beyond our magician? Everyone thought they will be another essendon but one change shows how you can make a diffrence.
Been saying it for years Hartley been living on Francis Jackson's pics where his youth recruiting is probably the worst in the comp.This is our run from 2017-2022

Humm those clubs would not even have given them a look.
Not much we got lucky in 16 getting caddy prestia Nank and rioli which all clubs didn't want and was dropping down the order but we got him cause of the name. The youth recruiting otherwise is the same.
I mean there has been multiple players in our VFL program that have gone on to be A graders or Best 22 * for other clubs
I reckon we have a massive player development problem. I'm loathe to say Cumberland, Sonsie, Stack, etc. were bad draftees so much as we failed to develop them properly. Hell Eggmolese-Smith got 2 brownlow votes out of 9 games... although admittedly we weren't so talent-starved back then.
