Tiges v Kangas - Another Bad Start

[Razorblade]

It's especially bad considered two of the players we have in that age group were mature-aged picks (Tuck and Morrison!) 

I reckon we acquire some guys in this age group through the draft or trade!

I'd look at going after players like Kosi (stuff trying to spell his name), Brennan (Super athlete, Wallace must cream his pants at the thought of having him) and Polak, but we would probably have to give up something we don't want to to get any of them.

Maybe try and pluck some guy out of the VFL/SANFL/WAFL like we did with Tuck, with late picks of course!

We are now paying for the disasterous recruiting practices between the years 1997-2002 (excluding 2000) under Geischen and Frawley. Our list as you say TS has a big hole in the early-mid 20's range. I think I mentioned once before that from something like 35 draft selections and 7 rookie promotions from the 97, 98, 99, 01 and 02 drafts we only have 6 players still at Tigerland today. That's a disgrace. However incompetent these two were at coaching pales into insignificance compared to their recruiting records. At least when they got the flick their poor coaching methods went with them. However we are still left with the mess they made out of our playing list .

As depressing as that all seems, I guess the exciting part is what’s happening now.

As much as I try to be patient though, it turns out that I still hate losing , especially the way did last weekend.

LOL I hate losing too 

That's true TS. There'll be a few more times along the journey that will cause us to do this  but as Greg said if he stick to the long-term plan then we'll get there. I'd rather we find out now who's not up to it rather than in a few years time.
