Hampson pick 28
Conca pick 6
Grigg, Newman contract extension,
Dea gets dropped after a bad game, game plan first half of 2014,
Chris Knights 3 yrs, Jordy McMahon 3 yrs, Tuck retirement early yet Newy??? Most on here would agree last year Tucky was better value than Newy the last 2 years.
Matt Thomas,
Sam Lonergan,
Just to name a few.
Combination of Dimma getting comfortable and FJ and Hartley getting one right and given our plight in the past the media circus praising it in 2013 yet first half of ths year the derision toward it was selling just as much candy.
Problem is given the fact we were labelled Fitzroy in 2010 the guys did their job got us competitive after that and to successive finals series but first week of finals is really as far as we can aspire to unless we catch Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney, Freo in transition in the same year as Collingwood as we have seen this year but that would not be sustained long term.
Time to upgrade the list by being more daring an not conservative the list is competitive but not in finals.Two years in a row proves this.mneed to add class and quality and omit some of those blokes aforementioned to upgrade with blokes from the drsft and proven blokes from September.
Enough of the bargain basement skata. The clock is ticking we miss this boat and stay middle of the road and in a few years we will be to where we were a few years ago, nowhere and looking up at others. Suffice to say most important trade period for the club if it needs to break into the top 4.
Need to not just look at first round, but second and third round and time to look at new recruiters.
Too many errors not enough long term sustainability.
