100% it was a mix of the selections and development. The damning part is even with the % reversed it would still be the worst failure rate in the league
Wait and see
Who cares. I don't, under condition she does not want to play for our AFLW team, haha.
I don't know, GWS numbers look similar, haha. And they did have success.
Yeah, probably both selections and development. Also it would probably be much easier for draftees to come into the team playing finals, with successful culture.

This is something the club knew was an issue and has made great strides to correct. Since then we have hit on a lot more picks and developed players to a much higher rate. You can criticise Dew and co on a lot of things but the development side of players and the change in club culture has been something that has drastically gotten better under his reign. This article is just trying to generate clicks by shitting on something that no longer happens. We get buy in from players and we constantly see improvements in said players.
I am telling you now she is going to ruffle the Departments feathers plus sledging them online

It continues… And in most alternative situations provided, Suns would have been able to match the bids anyway with the picks we had at some point—obviously we just kept trading back and back and back because the system allowed us to.
And we’d been trading into the future for some time. This article acts like we just had our natural first and second round picks, when we had far more than that—even before the Pick 4 trade.

. Interestingly, none of these critical articles mention it. It's a significant limitation.

It's amazing how uninformed the AFL media are. If that was my job, I'd know every part of the system, but the majority like cornes, barret, McClure have no actual idea.
I doubt they even know the difference between the northern academies and the nga and the exploitation that was happening at the nga's (ie. Club finds a loophole where the whitest looking kid, that played footy his whole life gets signed to a clubs nga a few months before the draft when he starts performing well in the coates league).
North Melbourne tried it this year with Riley Sanders. At the last minute the controversial Tasmanian aboriginal center approved his aboriginal indigenous heritage
Here is Cochrane

He has taken aim at the detractors.

Yeah, I'm not sure why North aren't getting more publicity over this.
They used Riley Sanders indigenous heritage to strong arm the AFL into letting them pre list him.
They had no impact on his junior career or his development.
But Gold Coast have 4 players who have been in the Suns Academy since they were 12.
No, we have to stop this, and take away the academy.

That was actually a great interview. Say what you will about Cochrane, but he does bat for this club hard.Here is Cochrane

His points about the state of young talent as a whole and how other states need to address it—and so our achievements should be celebrated rather than complained about—was interesting.
It backfired on them anyway because the afl didn’t allow them to bid on him until after pick 40 anyway so allowed bulldogs to get him at pick 6
Interesting.

I can’t wait to play to our strengths
What are our strengths beside contest? We don't have the fastest midfield, haha. Quick re-bound also looks suspicious regarding personnel. And our forward line is not famous for pressure.
We are the worst team in disposal efficiency and often crumble under opposition pressure.
Saying all that, I am looking very much for a new style generated by unshackled, confident players playing to their strengths.
