Which young recruit from this years draft should we crucify next year ?
In the tradition of Josh Kennedy from 05 & now it seems Grigg from 06.... who do we call to be delisted next year ?
Browne ?
Obviously they will all need to show instant improvement & a capacity to make the right decisions 100% of the time or the lynch mob will gather.
Geezzz, Imagine if we did recruit Goddard.
He took several years to "come good" & at times went backwards before taking massive strides forwards...... and even then he will obviously continue to develop.
Some of the threads & comments within this week have been nothing short of stupidity & obviously show a total lack of knowledge about the game from those posting within.
It's obvious that many here havent actually played or participated in team sports or been involved at clubs for a period of time where you see juniors develop & really blossom.
Not all do, that is correct, but history has shown time and time again that it takes generally 4 years or 70odd games to get close to putting together a level of consistant performance.
Hodge ring any bells ? (Leo Barry, Kade impson, Hamish McIntosh etc etc etc)
O.K. speculate or make an educated opinion (if that is what you are doing) on a 4th or even 3rd year player, but 2nd year 18-19 year olds..... come on, THINK ABOUT IT.
Lets hope the demographic of our supporters dont hold these views or I feel we may be evolving into a navy blue Richmond - it makes me sick
