A bigger deal out west.
I’ve been Hamish-skeptical for some time.
But after the last couple of drafts I’m open to the possibility that I was wrong and should instead have been Pyke-skeptical.
We know Pyke was certainly intimately involved in the process from the discussion around Gallucci / English. He likely gave Hamish parameters for running power and athleticism. Perhaps that would have excluded footballers like Schoenberg and Berry, instead focusing on athletes like Gallucci and Jones.
Pyke-skeptical is probably also barking up the wrong tree with our issues. Every coach is going to be intimately involved in the process, they need to be as the draft is the way they shape their football side. Ultimately, Hamish picked Gallucci and if he thought someone was better, he would have picked them.
Mainly its how disgustingly cheap, bare boned and toxic our off-field staff ended up being. It's a damn hard gig to be a even remotely successful recruiter if everyone you are picking gets handed to Burton, Hass, Campo, Hart and co to butcher.
