Agreed.
Is it better to be positive or to be correct?
You're neither, so what does it matter?
Tell me again what you said we'd get for Brad Crouch mate
If someone handed me a piece of paper with the names of the top 20 players from the 2018 draft and told me the Crows will have 3 of them, I’d be stoked.
Until I see the names.
Hately the worst of the 3. Ned the only one to ‘make it’. A sad state of affairs.

I would not be giving up on Hately yet and maybe never play like a first rounder but believe will still be good player for us.
Good grief, are people really writing off Hately so soon?
We got him for nothing, he's in his third season and only 20-years-old. Although he wasn't flash in his 2 AFL games, can see that he got 21 and 26 touches and a goal in each of his most recent SANFL games.

A bigger deal out west.
I think the hope at the moment is he's had some form of injury that's hampered him.
It's not looking too flash at the moment, which is a damn shame, but he's got time to turn it around. Unless O'Connor takes the opportunity presented and buries him.

It's not just an O'Connor v Hately contest. Both will hopefully become good players for us.

Around draft time I thought he'd be a surprise and shine for GWS.
As his career went on I just put it down to being in a squad with too much depth.
Now I feel like he probably won't be a star, but could still definitely be a good piece to a successful finals side, and not just a passenger that won't be around when we hit the finals again, like some that are currently playing.
In saying that, I don't quite understand why he hasn't had a consistent shot.

Wonder if he's still having groin issues.

It's possible both end up good players for us, but I doubt it. I especially don't know if Hately has the flexibility needed to make it if O'Connor ends up winning out as a contested mid. I know he's played as a forward, and could end up a third tall at least.
After all, it's quite likely both are fighting for a niche position in our midfield once all is said and done. We're likely in the bottom 8 for another couple of seasons after this one and that's hopefully a lot of compelling midfield talents coming in to surround what we have now.
As adamant as he was that we would not use the PSD, Bicks at least did stick around the thread when we took Hately that way. I for one let him know about it at the time, so he gets credit in my book for having the guts to stick around and debate the point, rather taking a little break like certain other 'in-the-know' posters did, instead of admitting they were talking out their backsides the whole time.

Good on him, and not surprising at all. A classic case of a player who tears up the state leagues but lacked the weapons to make it at the top level.
Hope he gets another opportunity at AFL level - felt like he came to us as the worst possible time, and we didn't give him a legitimate chance to be successful.

Nicks had up close knowledge of Hately having coached him at GWS. That he (presumably) greenlit the recruiting of him or at the very least gave positive feedback casts some doubt on his ability to judge players.

Didn’t we then stick him on the wing because the inside midfield was stacked.
