our recruiting philosophy for this year with no more plans to trade for anything resembling a half decent footballer can only be described as a
FIASCO
Ramps, I'm certain I'm not the only one here who thinks you are being a bit Melodramatic. At the moment, you're making George Costanza look like Elliot Goblet
Have to agree tiga
Ramps and I say this with the utmost repsect, when we sat 3-3 earlier this year you said the "re-build had been a failure" (or words close to that) and we needed to start yet again. After 23 rounds we ended up making finals and finsihing 5th. So the re-build cannot be classed by anyone including you as a failure. Time proved that you made a bad call in the heat of thwe moment becasue you were disappointed and you like all of us want success.
Perhaps you are doing it again because I don't think you can seriously believe the recruitment of one player is going to send us spiralling down the ladder?
With compo picks still be to handed out pick 28 is likely to be end up being around 31-34 range. Which is close to what we handed out for Maric when we gave up our 3rd round pick. Let's not forget that by finishing higher up the ladder our 2nd rounder pick is a late pick and more like a early 3rd rounder.
I think that we should at least give Hampson a go, see what he brings to the table and take it from there
Ditto with the remainder of the trade & FA periods plus everyones favourites the Drafts
