It’s one of 2 things:-
i) We’re caught up believing our own bulltish winning those 3 flags
ii) The women’s program simply isn’t a priority
Either way, it’s a worry.
I have zero problem with our drafting of 2024 - so far.
Every players looks like they belong apart possibly from Algar.
Had you told me that last November I wouldn’t have believed it.
There is no such thing as a broken 19 year old.
This might well change in coming seasons but for me I would like our focus beyond the rehab program is getting these kids Adelaide Crows strong because if we can get them up to speed breaking and making tackles like them we are in for one hell of a ride.
Looking at the class of 2021, that doesn’t appear a focus. I hope the club is taking notice.
Don't think any club would have a problem with the top 20 players taken in the 24 draft even the top 30.
Every single top 20 pick looks at the worst a good player apart from the two who could not get on the park. Smith knee and Smillie multiple injuries.
It was touted as the draft for the ages and so far it is turning out that way. It should also be remembered for just how deep it may eventually go.
We sure got lucky that last year was the year good players decided they wanted to leave.
Gunna say it again on the topic of the thread. Campbell screams at us as a running player whose attributes scream wing or running hb.
His attributes are what nearly all our running players lack. Some have one attribute for the role but Seth has most of them.
Geez if we refuse to find out with players like Campbell we really have a lot of drafting to do to find decent running players.
OOps wrong thread.
Just do away with zones and acadamies. All it does is dilute the draft.
Reward clubs who promote the game thru acadamies with soft cap relief or something along those lines. Atually reward clubs for giving back to grass roots in a way where it does not corrupt the draft.
At the very least the bottom 4 or 6 clubs should have access to every available player in the draft every year. If one of your acadamy kids happens to be rated top 6 and your not a bottom 6 club tough luck.
The whole idea of the ND is to equalise the comp all i see is in particular clubs with great zones mainly northern clubs getting a leg up over every one else.
