Jack if you think recruiting Troy Taylor at Pick 51 is poor recruiting you'd take the cake for the biggest goose on the forum, your not worthy of this award so don't stray down that path.
Recruiting TT at 51 was an absolutely bargain. A risk worth taking and if a negative result eventuates I'll be happy to have support the club that took the punt on TT.
TT without off field issues would have been picked up in the Top 10, maybe Top 5 last year absolute certainty.
The kid has talent and needs to be managed, so what? Soft clubs would delist him and say he's not worth the hassle.
Dogs kept Aker after 10 chances, Carlton kept Fev after a million chances, Lions have kept Fev after 2 stuff ups in 1 year, Freo have kept M.Johnson after his drug incident as have Geelong with Stokes. Essendon kept Dean Rioli after he returned home for an extended stay. Adelaide kept Bock after he belted his Mrs.
Players across the league in all teams make mistakes and stuff up yet stay on lists.
We have a potentially a extremely talented 19 year old, that is home sick.
All you extremists, pull your heads in.
