It is a step in the right direction however in terms of recruiting, pacey genuine mid as opposed to flanker sycophantic ways..

SPP was the right pick at our first but Venables certainly can be too
I'm not knocking Venables, hopefully he stays fit and becomes an awesome player. I just think SPP could have really helped us in the next few years before our window closes. And it will close because we've had some very average drafts recently -14 & 15, and some absolutely terrible drafts in 11 & 12.
 
Understand both POV's

Just hope we can see the best of DV & we won't be pining of what might have been.

But our recruitment team has made some blunders... Lamb over Mitch is right up there for me personally.

Yeah Lamb over Mitch is the standout - most of the others seem reasonable enough decisions

SPP is showing what I thought he would so our recruiters shouldn't be surprised by what he's done

Good news is they thought DV would be better

They better be right

If they're wrong we've left Simpson with very little to call on to improve the team moving forward.
 
Powell- Pepper looks very comfortable at Port and he and the club have embraced each other

He won't be back

We had our chance and chose someone else

I thought the same, and purely judging on Instagram posts, he fit straight in at the club with all the lads there. My immediate thought was that we'll have little to no luck bringing him home. I'm not prepared to write off DV or compare the two right at this moment though, but this will no doubt be one the recruiters will be sweating on for a while.

This SPP bullshit is already doing my head in.
We may need to put a pin in it until we see DV over the course of the year and possibly even next year.

We all know the arguments and won't be able to come to much of a firm conclusion, aside from SPP could've been useful immediately, until DV has enough exposed form.

Thanks Toby Greene and Matthew Broadbent for killing my SuperCoach (draft) opening round chances.
 
Crows, wow!
Who saw that coming?
Not me. Did Walker end up playing? They also had some mids missing iirc.

For a team that supposedly has doubts about their midfield they disposed of the much fancied GWS elite brigade. Coniglio could be a big loss for them early in the season.

Tipped 4 so far and picked Geelong who I think may lose as well. Not gonna bother changing that tip because it'll be more annoying if it doesn't work. Tipping is an insane endeavour particularly early on.
