was beck still there in 04 im not sure he was. without a doubt the man responsible for recruiting at that time was miller.
Was still Beck, he was told towards the end of the year that he wouldn't be required next year, but he was still the head of recruiting at the draft and the one reading out the names on the day.
Due to lack of funds they hired Francis Jackson part time for 2005 while Miller did a lot of the leg work that Jackson couldn't do due to him coaching the Brighton Grammar football side on weekends. This details of this were told at the FTF gala speeches prior to the dinner.
ok Fonzie. Dermie, Buckenara, and the entire Hawthorn football club were wrong when they said right after the draft one thing but revealed their actual plan years later. And I was wrong for giving you facts from an article written by Dermott Brereton himself.
I still don't see the point, after you have the players you wanted why not announce that you went into the draft wanting to build the spine first. There is no reason for lying after the players names have been read out.
As for sticking the boot in. Well like you I've invested alot of Time, emotion and money into supporting this great club and I can praise them and critisize them as I see fit. That's why were on here isn't it? To offer opinion, to vent etc.
That's all well and good, but I hardly see how that is any different to everyone on this forum. Bag the club when it is justified, however the selection of Tambling over Franklin was the right one at the time. If you want to stick the boot in, put all your efforts into the selection of JON. That selection can't be defended.
