Phil Smart picked Fyfe as one of his last acts. Lloyd took over the following year.
Lloyd has had a few good year recently but overall he's probably had more misses, our list fell apart after our window closed. Missed both McGoverns even though their dad begged us to take them. Missed Yeo even though he was a Freo supporter and asked us to trade for him, apparently we didn't need anymore of his type.
If you have a look at our Rnd1 selections you'd probably be horrified. However he does seemed to have turned a corner in recent years. The drafts of the last two years have been excellent (Logue pending).
Interesting, perhaps I'm wrong but I was pretty sure he was there as a recruiting manager in 2008 before being promoted? Fyfe was taken in 09 draft so he may have had a hand in it even though Smart was still around for that one.
All these recruitment folk have more misses than hits, including SOS. Just pointing out that he has an eye for mids and picked out a couple diamonds in the rough. Hopefully he can help us get one this year we need them especially if we're going to take a pp and 2 second rounders to the draft.
