Eddie drove the recruitment of Ball and Jolly after the humiliating 2009 PF loss.
He really didn't, when Eddie's rather large head during his second decade at the helm got involved in the recruiting it didn't end well exemplified by the Beams fiasco.

He did. Eddie tore strips off the FD after the 2009 PF, leading to the realisation that we needed a ruck and inside mid.

A blessing in disguise, they all needed to be cleaned out but the club haven't had the guts to do it. The 2024 list was the worst structured/designed list in the competition. The coaches are carrying this football club.
What a load of bollocks
Worst structured/designed list in competition? What exactly does that mean? Other than you fallling for the monotonous media clickbait on our list

Age structure, key position depth and under 22 talent were a mess. We have struggled to find quality players through the draft that arent F/S or academy picks for a long time.

I get what you mean but we literally addressed all 3 of those issues this off season. Acquired 2 A grade mid/late 20s players, Membrey as a KPF back up and took 2 KPP in the draft as 18yos. We need to invest in youth clearly but while we're in the window we have to have a crack at a flag again so the balance is delicate

Seems a clear case of the recruiting team not wanting to slave their guts out all year and then have no draft picks to validate their efforts.

The coaching staff are structuring the list not the recruiters, so I think it could be the other way around

Which is Fair Enough and Hine had this Issue a ton over the last 15 Years
 
**** at this rate we might be asking if Knightmare can be our recruiter 😂
It’s a damn shame Lukosious just signed a long term deal with Port. We could have nabbed him for 13 first rounders and Darcy Moore!
