especially WAYNE HUGHES, who for 3 drafts 2007-2008-2009 did not even look at recruiting kpp of any sort !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is not counting KREUZER, who is a ruckman and a number 1 pick and could not be ignored. we have lost finals because we have nobody who can be relied on to kick 4-5 goals like other teams above us, since FEV left. i think that HAMPSON was playing well before his injury and should be kept, because he can play in the ruck and up forward. i also think that THORNTON has been very handy for the team this year as a swingman and should be kept as well...i was not his biggest fan in the past, but he has been there when others have been missing and done the job. we may have won if he had not got injured last night. the WESTERN BULLDOGS have proven that a team cannot rely on smalls to win big finals for a team, and we rely on that as well. the seeds of this loss were sown back in 2007 like i said, and it was only last draft that CARLTON told HUGHES to pull his head in and pick KPP, but 3 years too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some people think you should stick strong with everything CARLTON,but our lack of tall marking power goes way back and AUSTIN & BOWER have done nothing to change this. most teams recruit a bit of everything ( as in kpp,mids,rucks,and flankers ) each draft, but not CARLTON !!! It seems that our recruiters take 3-4 of the same type each year, and i am sick to death of them doing that rubbish !!! looks like another long summer of soul searching for the MIGHTY BLUES. we can only hope that the cats can stop the MAGGOTS from equalling our number of premierships this season...........can you imagine them if they win it again...........WHAT A NIGHTMARE !!! EDDIE would rub it in all summer !!!
