we were going to take lycett with the very next pick
which is why we took batch a round earlier than expected
i think it was a smart move to bank that compo pick but can't really judge either way until we actually use it and see the outcome
i reckon there was at least 10 players taken not to long after batchelor that says we should have used pick 27. i dont care what anyone says 2010 was a strong draft and would have been a super draft if not for gc.
so we wait until 2012 before we even use the tambling pick and in the mean time a player like lycett is in our system for 3 yrs.or in this case wce. but thats right we dont need to find a ruckman or decent players for that matter.we have all the time in the world.
i will say this and i digress a little but the club does need to target some senior players next yr either cheap trades or from minor leagues we also need to get rid of 10 or 12 players shallow compromised draft or not.
lets be real just how much will our kids miss the guidance of such exalted leaders like mcguane thursfield jackson king connors morton miller graham white etc you could blink and not miss em. we could then do the same process in 2012 a so called strong draft getting rid of players this yr is not going to hinder us the following yr.15 20 24 have to go its a must the only question is which ones do you keep for experience and so called guidance everyone will have their choice but at the end of the day they all have to go and the sooner the better. better to try something else than keep on going with the same proven duds.
