2024 Draft Thread.

Using every lever at our disposal to improve the list. This should be the standard for an AFL Club but seems we’ve been negligent for the best part of 15 years.
Couldn’t be happier with the attitude of the club these days

Lack of funding in recruitment held us back for a long time. It’s hard to identify talent when it’s being left to one or two people. That’s an advantage the bigger clubs have.
There’s more money being put in now so we’re starting to see some benefits. If that continues over the next few years it will set us up for the future. Just seeing the kids in our NGA program is encouraging.

Even worse though when you people like Trout, Bains and Lethlean having undue sway in list management.

Having 3 incompetents (in terms of list management) basically being the No 1 decision maker in what we were doing with our list, including which players we recruited, as well as crucially deciding who who was in out list management team was a huge reason why we were so bad for so long.

Yep. People get lost focusing on what a player doesn’t have or can’t do. Hoffman’s recent match reports have been very promising and he’ll only get better from here. Same goes for Cole.

Hoffman uses the ball really well by foot. He did some nice things playing for the zebs. Imagine him and shoey in our back line
