IMHO it's been our inability to pick good players past the 2nd round of the draft. FJ was and if rumours are true and he is still around is the problem. BH probably hasn't helped with our ruck holes. Of late our 3rd rounders have come good or shown something but to win a premiership we need 3 to 4 good players each year for 4 years and at best we get 3 mostly 2 and sometimes 1. We just dont have enough good cattle.

We just dont have enough good cattle.The problem stems directly from a inability to identify and then trade out players that aren't up to standard before their stock has nose dived.bringing in an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder every year would go along way to rebuilding a list instead of just losing players to other clubs with no return.

Yeah I agree we could have given picks to Sydney for their academy players and get a 2nd rounder. Dumb of us not to. Our recruiting has been the weak link for me. FJ and BH.
