Imagine praising a club for finishing below 16th for over a half a decade.
whos praising them for anything.
Fact is after 20 years of mostly middling finishes 2000 - 2019 they were getting nowhere.
iN 2020 they clearly made the choice to totally bottom out and they have been near the bottom for 6 years.
What was the choice that was forced upon us last year oh thats right bottom out and do the hard yards how stupid are some its not rocket science.
We can be nm of the 2000 - 2019 period or we can do the hard yards and actually fully embrace bottom finishes for three or four seasons and give ourselves a chance to climb out of the mire and actually be challengers again.
Like north we will have to keep on bringing in top talent and then get the games into them. Anyone who thinks just one draft or even two or three will be enough really are delusional.
Did north have a draft like Algar. Sims. Six first rounders?
3 and 4* shortly after?
Nine players currently 19 and under prior to the draft. Arguably with decent ceiling
They've had lots of opportunity
2017 > 4 (LDU)
18 > 8 (Thomas)
19 > 8 (Serong) traded out
20 > 3 (Phillips) + 13 (Powell)
21 > 1 (JHF)
22 > 3 (Sheezel) + 4 (Wardlaw)
23 > 2 (McKercher) + 4 (Duursma)
24 > 2 (FOS)
That's 10 top 10 picks in the last 8 years, most of which were stuffed up.
