Offer big big money to Hugh McLuggage please. Heavily front loaded. We are going to have a tonne of cap space once Zurhaar, Corr, CCJ all leave within the next few years.
Would be huge.

McCluggage Davies-Uniacke Scott
Xerri Wardlaw Powell

Int: McKercher

Flanks: Sheezel, Simpkin, Ford, Duursma

Instantly doubles our two-way running ability with his theoretical inclusion.
 
Cat b rookie still a pet peeve of mine especially when you see cats with Blicavs celebrating game 250 this week

Use the free hits ffs and maybe we get someone eventually like the above
I totally agree, but I imagine that a Cat B rookie would need a fair amount of development resources, and that we simply cannot afford the money.

If that's not the case, as you say, what we're doing makes absolutely no sense.

No more AFL fringe players please. Bring in kids, overagers, reserves players from the King Island league, anyone but burnt out AFL players who we give 5 years based on "potential" and former draft position.

If any guns are dumb enough to take the money and join us. Great. If there's a Hugh Greenwood or Liam Shiels who have glowing reputations for the culture and standards they bring to their club sure, we'll need more like that. But no more Fishers, Tuckers, Stephenses, Stephensons, Corrs etc that'll cruise on big money until we delist them in the 2040s.

Listen to Charlie Comben's postgame. He cares. Sheezel cares. Wardlaw cares. McKercher cares. Josh Goater ( :( ) cares. Big X cares. There is a strong delineation between this group of drafted players in a similar age bracket and the mercenary role players we've brought in to put around them. I don't care what your 2k is, if you hold width or play key defence. If you don't actually want to help this club succeed through shedding blood, sweat and tears please kindly stay away.
Could we field a team, injuries permitting, of players who give a s&it?

If so, let's do it!

That would be great. Enough of fielding a team with some players doing the bare minimum and getting selected again the next week. The time has come to make changes and who knows, they might just work!

Add CCJ of players “recruited” from another club and each and every one of them has had Rawling’s involvement. It’s his list now and by and large it stinks. :stern look

Beautifully said. Email this to the club
 
Throw a boat load of money at Stengle as a free agent

As much as the money concept is interesting…and yes we seriously need to look at all options this coming off season…. l simply can not see him entertaining the concept of even moving or considering a convo with us….

Everyone here was applauding the club for getting Stephenson for nothing... Also all those traded in players are on average coin...

Corr seems to be the angriest out there when there is a mark inside d50. he's shite, but he cares, does that mean he should be played according to your "care" requirement?

Bottom line is in recruiting hindsight is 20/20. What looks like a great pickup can turn crap, what seems like a trade we lost turns out we won (I remember everyone here was livid that we basically traded out greenwood for Higgins).

Every team has fringe players. Can you lot be realistic and understand a team can't be filled with guns. Not only is it not possible but often it doesn't work as the team isn't balanced with offense and defense.

Our recruitment of players outside of the draft has to improve. Track record in the last decade has been garbage. After Higgo, Waite - I can't think of a single player that has become or we can reasonably expect to become an A grader? Logue maybe?

Corr and Polec must be league-best flops.

Jed, Ahern, Hrovat, Hall, Pittard, Tyson, Bonar, Atu, Stevo, CCJ, Tucker, Fisher, Stephens.

Leave alone A graders, there's hardly even a dependable role player in that list (outside of Fisher).
