Quote from: big tone on November 20, 2015, 08:47:49 PMI think they have done a great job over the last 3 or 4 years to stockpile young talent while offloading some of their more experienced players for one reason or another, that had taken them as far as they could. They have been brave in doing this and Buckley has taken a hit over it. It shows me he is willing to make tough decisions that aren't always going to be popular ones. Could we say the same about Hardwick?But it's one thing to draft potentially good kids but it's another for them to become good/great players. It's a risk they took and IMO it will pay off. Is their list better than ours? Not at the moment obviously as we have played finals the last 3 years and they haven't but things can change pretty quickly and we had better start getting more brave with our trading or we could get overtaken really quickly. We also need to start playing our young talent and moving on the Grigg's, Houli's, Hunt's and Chaplin's of the club. They have taken us as far as they are going to. It's not to say I don't hate them though but Essendon clearly have my most hated club at the minute with North a close second.well said mate
