Hopefully that's where the GWS inside knowledge advantage that Treloar and Adams gives us will prove invaluable. I'm sure they would have been consulted extensively about his strengths, weaknesses, upside potential, risks, etc.

I thought BF had a policy against salacious avatars?So what have we done pre draft?
In:
Wells - will improve us.
Mayne - slight upgrade on Blair.
Dunn - interchangeable with Brown/Frost
WHE - I'm not sure. Someone else would be better qualified than me to talk about him.
Out:
Swan, Tooves, Caff - all retired not many senior games between them this year.
Witts - our VFL ruckman
Frost - our VFL FB
Cloke - Our AFL/VFL FF.
Brown - FB who was dropped during the year.
Marley - was injured and dropped during the year. Lost his way?
Gault/Golds/Goodyear - delisted.
Marsh - big question on whether we ever see him again.
Marsh is the one I'm disappointed to lose and that seems to have been out of our hands. Extra disappointing considering both our plodding FB's have left.
Hopefully returning this year - Elliott, Ramsey, Scharenberg.
Looks like a clean out of what is perceived as dead wood by the club. Some of the replacements not mind blowing but we didn't have a lot of currency to work with.
Improvement must come from within, I think it can
The fact WHE struggled for a game this year may not be an absolute reflection on his game. It's no disgrace being kept out of the GWS side by Stevie J, Toby Green, Tom sculls etc. He could fit in perfectly with us in the same way John McCarthy did when he went across to Port Adelaide who had a spot for him.

I know what you're saying, and really hope that's the case. They would've vouched for Tim Golds too.

Guess you already posted historically what happened. But I am still curious as to how it started?

Broomy probably had a broken neck and Crocker, well he is raw.

Comparing Golds to WHE?

In as much as the context was the perceived insider knowledge value of Adams and Treloar. There was no reason to think Golds would cut it and he didn't. Imo there's little hope that WHE will make it either because the vast majority of mid/small players who make it have done so by this stage.

what has cost us over the yrs I believe is complacency and trust in cloke.. no big moves on any kpf for 5 yrs.

everyone complains that Williams brown frost witts cloke are s..t.. gubby comes in a boots em out the front door.. and we are complaining about it all.. collectively if you were to take the possitives from each one of these players and created just the one out of em.. that player would still be s..t
Great point.We should have been recruiting key position players in the 12/13 period when we had no less than five first round draft picks.If we'd just got one or two of those players in those drafts,then our key position stocks wouldn't be so alarmingly thin today.

Maggie the only similarities between Mayne and Blairy are the number of limbs they have. One seemingly understands his role within a team and the other has photos of his coach in compromising circumstances.
