It's just moronic thinking we paid over for lever. You obviously think we do. Since you hinted at it.
Lever got injured just after he started to look like he was settling in. You might not have any inside goss, or might only have heard minimal about it, but lever would be one of, if not our best, leaders if he was on the ground. Potting him, as many others on here are right now, is just scapegoating.
And this whole draft pick wankfest over getting pick 15 or 23 or whatever it was to be, as topkent points out, is equally as mundane.
Tell me this, would you, or any one else here, be happy if we got back pick 23 and used it on say, Sydney stack?

I really don't get you folks who yammer about draft picks being a "wankfest" - the draft is where 99% of players in the game come from. It can be a bit of a lottery, but the more tickets you buy, the more likely you are to win. Paying overs for players (and we do love to pay overs for players because the club aspires to be "good to deal with" at the trade table... like that's an admirable goal??) reduces the new talent being brought on to the list and leaves us holding on to potatoes longer.
I haven't seen Sydney Stack play but if we had an extra pick and used it to draft someone who isn't Maynard or Tim Smith, then that sounds like a win to me.
