Let's face it, we've stuffed this up.

No use pretending we haven't.

Absolutely agree.

Went at snail pace for announcement and gave us an absolute loss.

Ever noticed it's almost the same cohort of posters who defend the club when it makes silly decisions? Consider:-

Dual captains are great and will work out.
Keeping Castagna on the park indefinitely is the way to go.The game hasn't gone past him.
Not taking key fwds in the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 national drafts won't come back to bite us.
Hopper was a good deal.
Dimma is still a great guy.
Not drafting replacement key forwards between 20
The camel is a great idea.
Don't criticise Meehan (until as late as June 2024 when it couldnt be defended any longer)
Miller deserves 12.

It was so perfect.

Then did **** all for the next 5 seasons and was just about out the door.

Still more than Miller so.

Miller turns 26 next year. Dave Astbury had his first flag at 26.

Cool. Not relevant here though.

You campaigners whine about everything.

 

[beema limapep]

Why would you give number 12 to Miller when he arguably isnt in our best 3 to 4 key backs? We have Balta, Gibcus, Broad plus now Trainor as well as Blight and others.

Just doesn't make sense.

The club stuffed up and everyone knows it.

Means our kids are crushing

Right now Miller is our 2nd key back.

 

[living_in_syd]

Our back office has been making a lot of mistakes lately with benny etc gone.

I dont mind the new drafties not getting the numbers but the absolute howlers are miller 12 and mansell 7. They are both terrible and now they think they are best 22 long term

 

[beema limapep]

We stuffed up lads.

We stuffed up lads.

Damn, the whole rebuild is ruined, ruined I tell ya, because......jumper numbers.

 

[Tenacious T]

Storm in a teacup.
Almost every player on debut has started high and ended low by careers end.
Not going to make you a better player…

 

[Hoos]

Right now Miller is our 2nd key back.

Think of all the melts when he's named for Rd 1 (and every other Rd).

They are best 22. Or 23 or however many there is.

Like it or not, they are both in our best side next year.
