Eagles finished last in 2010 with 4 losses and got Gaff, Darling (priority pick) and Lycett with their first and second round picks. We won a couple of late meaningless games to lose that priority pick (won 6 games) and got Conca and Batch instead with our first and second rounds picks. So glad we didn't tank and not use the system.
Yep and you copped a bake from helmut to boot for bringing it up

Interesting private conversation afterwards too

He didn't last long after that fan forum either. Sadly our list managers haven't got a clue when it comes to using the system unlike other clubs. Blair is just another useless idiot. Remember how we were all prepared for FA
and how we use our own in-house rating system out of 1000 to rank every player in the AFL. That's how we end up with Hampson, Hunt, etc ... and sign them up to multi-year contracts

People target their angst at Dimma and the players but footy clubs these days need everyone within the footy dept. delivering best practices and right decisions. Our recruiting and especially list management are still terrible. No.1 one hack and first to go should be Blair.
