Don't understand the SOS hate; him and his team are really turning things around at Carlton, especially compared to the previous regime responsible for Boekhorst etc.

Hate and Jealousy are a very fine line especially on here.
Opposition supporters want to see clubs they do not like fail in every aspect of the game and Drafting/Trading are no different as Internet egos are self stroked when the masses of haters come together like sheep to heap the hate on a common enemy.
Clear Big Footy logic 101!

Have to agree sadly..
what happened to Michael Gibbons from Williamstown? thought id get picked up for sure
I think he's missed his shot, sadly: pure footballer, just doesn't have the measurables.
Don't get me wrong, it's largely redundant with Free Agency around

We traded for Wells? What pick or player did we give up for him?
Yep, very evident over the last 3-4 years.
Yeah, nah.
I know the SANFL is a petty place, but a professional AFL side would never bother to waste their time and resources on something like that. With the retirement of Schulz, there is a bit of uncertainty regarding how our forward set up looks next year. Dixon and Westhoff will be the incumbents up there, but with our injury list/management over the past couple of seasons I think it is a necessity to having another option somewhere on the list, even if not immediately available for selection.

Completely agree. He's cooked. Bordering on non-competitive at times.
Not due to a lack of heart, will, care or effort, that will never be in question with Drew. He's a true professional by all accounts. Unfortunately for him, and now WCE, the body just can't keep up any longer. The evolution of the game in recent seasons hasn't helped him either. Doesn't exactly play to his strengths...
I have no problems admit I wish nothing but the worst for the Pies in every facet of football!!! And it has nothing to do with the internet or some mass mob theory. Ive felt this way long before social media became a thing. And I expect nothing less from pies supporters in return. Its called rivalry!

Clear view that the drafts are leaning towards player who can use the ball well and have a great attitude.
From an Essendon p.o.v it has been two key areas that Dodoro has looked at in recent years.

That is true though and half the Aussie population that follow this game agree except every Hawks supporter for some reason....
#freekickhawthorn is mentioned everywhere on social media and has been for ages now so do not just single me out cause the Umps love you blokes.

Where do you get the " I hate Hawks " from???
I have never said this but the chip on your shoulder just assumes it to be true.
I love successful teams and the Hawks have been the greatest of the last 2 decades arguably but i like a lot of others can see clear bias from umpires and they love you guys while being to scared to pay the 50/50 against you blokes and the superstar so to speak calls happen in every sporting code around the globe which all the champion teams are a beneficiary of.
It is also not the ones they do pay but more often than not the ones they do not that never show up on any stat sheet, therefore free kick counts means SFA at the end of the day, while 4 frees in the backline mean squat when you get a cheapie in the F50m resulting in a goal that swings the game etc but hey the opposition got more than us......
Told he plays for one year as back up then goes straight into a assistant coaching role at wce.
Hopefully plays the whole season at east perth.
He'll be right. Hard home ground and regular long flights will freshen him up.
It's hard to stuff up that list with that many concessions
Scott Clayton has shown this is a fallacy. A cop out bought into by the unconsciously unskilled who sit on the sidelines pretending it's all so easy.
What we have from SOS, is that he did an outstanding job building GWS their list. People who say otherwise are kidding themselves.
Your the one kidding yourself. GWS have had that many free hits at first round talent and academy kids since they entered the afl that it's dead set impossible for them to **** up their list management. This is a fact.

Do you even realise how vastly different the concessions that GWS got were?

SOS was on a hiding to nothing at GWS. Build a really strong and balanced list with depth in almost every position and the the unconciously unskilled will claim anyone could've done it. Do a Clayton type job; and be regarded a failure anyway. It's a lose-lose proposition. There is only one fact here though and that's that SOS was very successful in his job at GWS. Kidding yourself to suggest otherwise.
Different yes, but not nearly as vast as top and bottom end of the ladder, which is where you've both ended up. Not sure why some people have such difficulty accepting SOS did a much better job than his GCS counterpart with what they both had, but it's undeniable that he did.
