To include rance is clutching at straws

Why?

Is he not a 2nd rounder?

Point is for anyone to suggest that all our 2nd rounders have been busts is wrong  :snidegrin

AT is worth 2 first round picks in exchange for their second, bearing in mind this year is like an early second pick with compo's etc

Said it before Hackson needs to start doing his job with the second rounders or we will get found it in the coming years.

Funny I thought McIntosh and Rance were doing OK myself  ;D

Shane Edwards gets a bad wrap as well for a later pick  ;D

i think technically rance was a priority draft pick

a pick taken before the second round

Reddens first couple of seasons were great but he's realy fell off the radar the last couple.
Not sure what his issues are but I'd be keen if he didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Correct.
He wasn't actually a second round pick

correct WP is having another moment.

i would still agree 2 in almost 10 years. Mcintosh hasnt proved anything yet and edwards has done enough now for that pick to be a success. Rance is his best 2nd round achievement as a recruiter, and i use that term loosely.

lets compare that to the swans and sydney players that played off in the granny a few years back, starting with the rookies.

I was  :fishing  :lol

And I forgot Batchelor- who's improved as well this year, he was 2nd rounder

But just on Rookies...hmmm

I think our rookies are doing OK too

Miles, Lambert & Castagna looks alright

its hard, really hard, not to reply to that without including the verb stupid and noun idiot
“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."

if every club has had a pick and then you have a second pick, that is effectively a second round pick, regardless of what technically it may be labelled as.

What about Batch?

I think he was a second round pick, and let's face it he has had a very good year.

looking allright is a lot different to being a success. i gave you Rance and edwards 100% success to date and batchelor for the year he has had. Thats it though.

On the last few you mentioned i would think others had more of an input into those selections than our man hackson, e.g choco with Miles or Hartley.

from all reports it was hartley who delivered the goods here with miles.
