so true MT and one of the smartest posts i have read in a while.
Hislop to protect our youngsters. Stripes you cant be serious. Hislop is a dud of the highest order. An absolute waste of time that guy.
MT is 100% right there is no such thing as diluted draft. So many rookies now play seniors and these 2 selections is a major waste of time and could've been used to find a hidden gem. Guys like Maxwell and Davey were rookies werent they.
We have to stop treating this rookie as a joke by re signing duds e.g howatt and Hislop.
I understand your view daniel but I just think getting Miller to the club is more about developing and protecting our existing talent rather than what we have/will do with the rest of our picks which will be to uncover new talent. The club obviously rates Hislop and better prospect than any of the possible Rookies they would get with their pick 3 + in the Rookie Draft. I'll defer to their greater insight here.
Stripes
a real lack of pace and terrible footskills sort of says you should not be deffering to anyone.
i have to ask what happened to the footskill mantra. hislop is 22 spent 4 yrs in the system managed just 20 odd games and failed to overcome chronic deficienies in those 4 yrs. one just has to question the reasoning behind rookieing him.
i really liked hislop as a junior but there comes a time when you have to say enough. we cannot hang onto players for inordinate amounts of time waiting for a miracle we have been there i hope we have learnt from being there.
