Correcting for accuracy
Recruiters Blair Hartley should have been placed on notice after drafting trading for Hampson

Alternatively he picked up Miles for peanuts but yeah keep focussing on the negatives.

Yeah that's one resounding success - name the others....

Maric's been a resounding success.

Been quite a few other reasonable choices given their cost.

The problem is that we need to actually add to our recruiters not get rid of them. I'd also look at getting the Geelong guy to take over as head recruiter.

Serious question what do you think is the right number?

We have what full time 4 recruiters - Jackson, Taylor, Clarke and Williams plus (assuming here) a couple of part-time scouts interstate

How many more do we need, forget whether who have should go or not just talking pure numbers?

Not sure. All our recent drafts have been based off 3 people which I don't think is enough. A 4th may make a big difference.

Ideally I'd think having 1 in WA, 1 in SA, 2 in Vic/Tas and 1 covering the others should be the goal. Plus the scouts on top of that.

No mate these 2 clowns have to go as a start. 10 years is enough for FJ. At the end of the day you are judged on your performance and his has been woeful.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Probably. But who do we get to replace him. I think at least with Williams we have a guy that can take over as head recruiter. So that's a plus. I do hope if we were to do that, that Williams gets a bit more say in the type of player we recruit. Otherwise we will keep ending up with the same types. Slow, reasonably skilled ball winners who are good kids.

Hartley isn't too bad. Just need to take away some of his power. Too many bloody recycleds FFS

Apologies. Was using the term recruiters in the broadest sense. I should have said Football department. Not sure but I believe the decision to take Miles had more to do with the recommendation of Chocco than any masterstroke of Hartley.

I stuffing love how everything positive that comes from this club is chalked down to Chocco  :lol

Only Maric and Miles are good trades the rest is rubbish. The cost doesn't matter, a good player is a good player and a bad player is still a bad player even if they don't cost a lot. Hartley only has 2 successes the rest are average to poor selections.
