lol typical ignore the quality go for the battlers.
the only scenario id be against getting such proven players as goddard or chapman is the cost in nd picks. or if we were in the early stages of rebuild. we certainly aint in that mode not by the clubs actions the last two yrs.
they were both on the market for free and we didnt even have a look. nope we prefer the stephensons petterds lloyds hampsons etc of this world. you lot know the type well. those types who have done little in their careers and have chromic weaknesses.
we were in the same boat as ess looking to maybe make top 4 and certainly consolidate in the 8. if there was ever a time to get a quality mature player like chapman it was now.
we scream out for a high quality sml fwd/mid and cant even look at the best one available. thats unbelievable. ive heard the ridiculous excuses, too old too injury prone wants too much money what uteer crap each excuse is.
we should have thrown the sink at chappy and at least looked at one of the many junior sml/fwd options that were about the place in the nd/and rookie drafts.
its like the yr before. they say we need more mids they cant even look at the best available one in moloney . instead hacks like lonergan are taken. why cant we even look at the best players available to us in roles we are horrible in or badly lack in. why cant we take at a time when it makes sense to take em.
