Stephen Wells

[Hot Tin Roof]

I loiked these comments about Stephen Wells in the Guardian

Hair today, drafted tomorrow:

It’s a good idea for prospective draftees to go out and get the worst haircut possible before the big day. This is both amusing to watch during the telecast and will live on as an embarrassing time capsule should they become a 200-game veteran. They actually owe it to those of us who sit through this glorified business conference.

Could see our own Gysenn go Top 5 in the rookie draft as well

I'm hoping Wells is around as long as John Beveridge at St Kilda, except actually picking good players. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...an-afl-recruiter/story-fni5f22o-1226757593300

I'm hoping we get that bloke from Carlton back, so we can rely on somebody who's been under a draft guru's wing for the better part of a decade, rather than a senile 85 year old Stephen Wells.

Senile Stephen Wells is still potentially better than a guy who thought working with Carlton under Mick "the Dictator" Malthouse would be better than staying at the Cattery.

well yes, Carlton's drafting has been sterling I know absolutely nothing about today's draft, but...

He's never been involved in a Carlton Draft, though?

If I understand correctly, he was poached from us in May, and left three weeks ago due to 'personal issues' (Malthouse?)

I reckon you're on the money. The type of people that flourish with Malthouse seem to be the antithesis of Geelong people; compare Scott Watters and Scotty...

Hoping we see some Wells magic tonight.

Well, SW certainly delivered the surprise that people have come to expect.

Judging his, or any other club recruiter's, performance is devilishly difficult, given that the evidence comes in about 3 years after the picking is done.
