Herald-Sun reminds everyone of our 2005 draft

[Andyy]

if you picked up a better player on 05, chances are would of lost a cotchin or martin or both...

True.

Bad way to look at things though.

If we had Birchall, Swallow and maybe Higgins/Jones I don't think we'd care by that stage.

Maybe Cotchin and Martin will cost us the next Lockett.


I just hope we keep drafting/trading/list managing well and it leads to success.

Did we have one recruiting manager all that time who loved picking up skinny kids?

It seems that we picked up so many players who never made it we must have had someone in the recruiting dept who had the brain of a snail.

Has something changed in that dept in the last 4 years or so.

anyone know who that was?

We used to have one part time talent scout.

Now we have several, some full time some part time. You need to have people in every state IMO. All comes down to your football departments ability to raise/spend the cash, and the FTF was made to address this amongst other things. Hence Gale and March have done an awesome job.

Fine Eyes likes the skinny boys, Feds were picking up the scent so he moved on to dud KPPs
