Why would it be hard to imagine or understand  that we might (remember I said IF) have taken Gordon over Byrne-Jones as a result of where we saw our needs based on where we intended to play Petterd?

We regard Petterd as an HBF - (which we stuffing well shouldn't because he isn't one) we don't pick another HBF in Byrne-Jones as we think Petterd has the position covered and consitutes enough depth in the area, so instead we take a forward in Gordon.

We regard Petterd as a forward(/mid) (like we stuffing well should because he is one) - we take  Byrne-Jones instead of Gordon.

Not that hard to follow. Kind of thing happens all the time in the draft. Called "list management".  If it is indeed what occured then it's poor list management IMO.

be careful sonny im watching.  ;D

look it hard to understand that im happy we took two state league players. im actually over the moon we have tried this route.  but bloody hell where we take em is important. its where we took em that im critical of. i have little doubt the two lads we took would have been there in the rookie draft.

yes im also critical that we promoted petterd. there should have been absolutely no guarantees that he would be promoted. keep him as a rookie and bloody hell we have been able to target just one other 18 yr old instead of going with just the one we took.

bloody hell how important was it to promote petterd. not very imo.  conca, vlastuin, deledio, ellis  mcintosh grimes dea, batchelor, houli, morris, newman. plus newbie lennon could and should probably start his career of hb arnot helbig  could be tried back there bloody hell how many options do we want. yet we promote one of the worst skilled players on our list and insist on playing him back its laughable.
promoting this hack has literally cost us the chance of useing pick 50 on a kid. and please dont give me the absolute pee weak excuses of there was no good kids to take or give a chance to at pick 50 ffs.

His dad is a Melbourne supporter. Assume Ricky is too. Dad used to drink with him on the Goldy.

his old man wayne pedro petterd  was a damn fine player for the hobart tigers when the tfl was still pretty strong. so theres a tiger link there albeit flimsy.

I think Pettard is ok for depth. i dont love him but i dont bemoan him like others here. I actually see your point though.
I was just giving you some stick because you said 'no complaints from me' in one thread and then proceeded to complain your t@s off in others.
