Where's claw? I want his thoughts now
on what.
i reckon my thoughts are there for all to see before and during the trade draft period.

on the rookie selections.

1/ did we go thru the right process. imo yes we took mature players where they should be taken.

2/ did we take the right type of mature players who tick enough boxes and meet enough criteria.  imo no but hey we all have differing opinions on the merits of players and what boxes they should tick.

3/ did we address in any significant way important  list needs.  imo no.

its almost as if we have drafted to make the ressies side competetive rather than drafting for list needs and trying to take the best talent available.
i can think of at least 5 or 6 younger players id prefer we  gave a go to.  but i suppose that is a preference thing.


im still asking what have we addressed as far as needs go. geez atm all can come up with is the sml/med forward dilemma and we have addressed it with what. did we target one high quality forward.

we took a ruckman and  it had to be done but again what did we target. was it a quality player or one who has battled even longer to establish himself than the many mature players we took.

ah opinions, just like arse holes  we all have em.

Banfield isn't going to make any side better so you are both wrong

I would've thought if you kept attending to list needs and taking the best available, your entire list would improve anyway as you'd have better players and good depth in every position.

 Yes I think there was a bit of that if not as the first priority then certainly as a secondary focus. Probably trying to develop what we have and build up a strong culture of competition across both teams. Depth over potential.

Does anyone know why he didn't get a run at Brisbane this year?

He seemed to get a run a couple of years back.

Don't hold me to it but I think Zorko pushed him out. Or if not Zorko directly the addition of Zorko caused them to reshuffle and out he went.
