Byrne-Jones, Holman, Grey, Sicily, Marsh. Even if we'd taken just one of those, preferably Byrne-Jones, and just one of Gordon & Lloyd I would'n't have been too fussed.

Will be interested to see how Holman goes.
Played in the GVFL premiership team for Kyabram and kicked 3 goals.
MVP for Vic country in the Nationals.
His younger brother, Tim, is better though. Played CHB and was BOG in the GF.

You guarantee they'd be there?  ;)

Yes. They would've been there.

The idea that the recruiters simply picked the players that they rate highest of those available obviously never enters some people minds.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

And the idea that recruiters might get it wrong obviously never enters some peoples minds, despite evidence to the contrary every year.
It's an opinion, everyone's got one. Nobody is always right. Very few are always wrong.

i'm talking about the strange comments about how the players we selected would still be there for later picks and the weird logic behind these comments.

what are you referring to?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

we could still have taken them  both at 66 and one of the picks we passed at. to enable this to happen we just keep petterd on as a rookie.

geez at pick 50

marsh, hourigan, templeton, conlon, darcy, sokal just to name a few. woulkd have been rapt to give any one of them a go.

would have loved for us to give sully a go with one of the later picks.  hope we look to rookie him. would give josh waldhuter a spot as a rookie as well.both mature players.

for me i wanted scily or marsh at 50. so   marsh at 50. thing is we could have had sicily at 50 and marsh at 66. anyway marsh at 50 and   the two mature types we took at 66  gordon, and use 78 on lloyd.  it wasnt hard to do it only needed a sml bit of tinkering.

it is interesting as far as i can see only matt fuller at 42 and the two we took gordon and lloyd were mature players taken in the entire draft excluding rookie upogrades. with this in mind im certain both gordon and lloyd would have been there much later or in the rookie draft. there was few live picks after pick 49 anyway.

imo the way we have gone about the entire trade and nd period has been poor. we seem to make the same sort of mistakes over and over every yr.


come the rookie draft one of hourigan or templeton would be great. two of hourigan templeton conlon darcy and sokal even better, unlikely.  use the last pick on sully or waldhuter or chris cain.

Lol nice try, like they wouldn't have been snapped up by then, pretty shrewd work by the tigers, they wouldn't have lasted long just quietly :shh

Would love the recruiters to go for maximum speed and ability:
1. Dwayne Wilson
2. Richard Bourne
3. Clayton McCartney


Actually McCartney is a must now that we have Lennon!
