Toast WCE recruiters

[footballfreak]

Credit to our recruiters. And with a bit of luck too. Great stuff

 

[Kerrby]

Would you like to make another 4 threads on existing topics?

 

[r dub 19]

Credit for what exactly? Doing what anyone on this board would of done?

I'll give them lycett but not the others.

 

[Keys]

Let's not get carried away just yet.

Gaff may or may not turn out to be the gun midfielder we needed - and there were other promising mids taken after him. They'd better hope they got it right.

Darling was overlooked by almost every other club so either they were dopes and we got lucky or we failed to see the deficiencies they all did when overlooking him.

Can pretty much say the same thing for Lycett.

On balance it looks like we had a good draft but it came on the back of a miserable season and the good fortune in other clubs by-passing two seemingly talented players.

 

[wceblog]

Yep - everyone feels optimistic about the future at the end of draft day...

The only time the recruiters should be given credit is if they build us a premiership winning list.

 

[Juddernaut33]

yes they used pick 45 well

 

[Masto]

Far too early to be making these types of comments. Come back in 3-4 years.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time in the past few years we thought we had the best draft and it turned out to be just OK, with the players not stepping up as much as we thought they would. So far at least.

Love the journey not the destination. Atm this is a perfect draft so enjoy it.

Yeh stuff it. Darlings the great white hope

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Destination is a flag. The journey is awsome if thats where it leads, otherwise screw the journey.

 

[Eagle Ant]

I have given them ALOT of stick over the last couple of Drafts....

So Im here to say.....Finally you bloody listened to me.

Good work as well I spose

Well that's what a bandwagoneer does. Has a look at the table and buys the guernsey

 

[Masto]

This sounds like Chris Connolly spin.

Doesn't it just?

 

[SwiftforPM]

You would know a lot about about the journey though

WAY too early to be raising toasts to our recruiters ! Wait and see how the coming season goes first. Then, if we manage to rise up the ladder and the new boys play a significant role, THEN we can raise a toast to the recruiting staff !

 

[Spartan]

Given at most of us would have taken Gaff, Darling and probably Lycett.. not sure if we should be raising our glasses to the recruiters.. we would be toasting an as expected performance.

That being said like many I'm pretty happy with our draft.

Yeh but the simple point being, Normally we would have gone some weird way and rather then draft what we need NOW we would draft what we will need in 3 or 4 years time (wth our 2nd pick).

eg- Tony Notte, Gerrick Weedon.

 

[94_Eagles]

26 and 29 fell into our laps.

Kudos on not being douches.

 

[yeah_nah]

What have they done? They haven't ****ed up, but you can't really praise them for that.

None of the players that were chosen have proven themselves yet anyway. Will be interesting to see if you're praising them in 3 years because thats what really counts.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

They've still got a long way to go to make up for some crap drafting in recent years.

 

[eagles rule]

very happy with their performance this yr and I also note these 3 players are ready made to play afl in 2011 .also I nearly forgot Brennan he is capable of playing in 2011 too.

Really? like who?
We all know Notte didn't work out.
I think the drafting has been really good for a very long time.
