What if Balme was getting Stephen Wells ready for a move to Punt road in the foreseeable future?

Does anyone know when his contract is up at Kardinia Park?



I'd say if Balme could get this done then I'd be seriously impressed with his influence.  :rollin

Bang. That's absolutely right.

All the folk here want to talk about is Hartley and not the actual recruiters who have done such a great job

His been there 6 already  so if he did something right we would have some class already?

Just like when Hackson took over Miller. Blind ferry could see what was wrong but not out club, who seem  more concerned about shuffling a few deck chairs to appease the fans

The problem about giving him one draft is it's takes about 4 years to be able to access it properly. Which means there is 4 drafts of potentially having the wrong guy in place.
It's the best job in the world! Do something today and no one can blame you for a mistake for a long time.
Even when you come to the conclusion like we have with FJ, you have to give him a little more time as he has been accessing the players of this upcoming draft.
Even worse is if we happen to trade some earlish picks, those potential mistakes are gone and you only have to draft with later picks which no one really expect you to get right, especially at Tigerland.
Where do I sign?

He should be stopping the obviously poor decisions like maric and conca.  Otherwise I could do his job.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

Conca? I think you're a bit premature on that one....

Judge the man after he has worked at the club for 2 years. You can't judge anyone who has just walked into a new job & expect Jeannie is in his coat pocket.

Get real. Some of you people have no idea & expect changes over night.
