What more do you people want?
To come away with 0 wins just so we get pick 1.
Unbelievable.
I am actually glad Mebourne lost. I don't have the confidence in the RFC recruiting to get the Butcher/Trengrove choice correct, which if Melbourne won we would have been forced to choose. At least this way Melbourne wil chose either Butcher or Trengrove with there 2nd pick and we'll have the later. I'm happier that way instead of choosing either kid and having the media swallow us whole when the other starts better next year.
What happens if Melbourne spring a surprise a draft Scully and Morabito 1 & 2. Then we'll have to choose.
If we have no confidence in the RFC recruiting staff then you would get rid of them rather than hoping another club makes the choice for us. It's bad enough we have a onfield team that doesn't back itself. The last thing we need is those off-field not backing their ability to make the right decisions.
It's the way we've played (poor coaching) and the poor list we have that makes us the worst team in the comp. It's no coincidence our percentage has ended up the lowest in the AFL. Apart from the good win over Essendon, the rest were meaningless narrow wins and a draw against fellow bottom sides including one that was deliberately throwing the game. If we are wanting to rebuild and do it properly then you need to take advantage of the assistance offered by the AFL. We've been rubbish for the last 8 years and yet we've got just one player from a pre-frist round priority pick (Blingers). Make that two PPs including post-round 1 with Rance although we threw that away trading pick 19 away for McMahon. We've finish 15th and get nothing from it
