[Next Waiting]

Just a reminder we picked Jarrad Grant over Tarrant and Harry Taylor. Could've had a multiple premiership back-line with Morris, Lake and the other but our recruiters knew our list needs best.

TBF, we didn't pick him, that muppet Clayton did.

Jarrod Grant celebrates a timely goal

No doubt it was him who picked him, just pointing out how awful our recruiters working for the club have been during recent history.

I sometimes wonder whether Clayton was working for us or someone else

 

[Mattdougie]

Was Clayton really that bad?

Anyone that’s thinks that isn’t at least ok has literally no idea

Freo coming into form at the wrong end of the season for us.

 

[Yojimbo]

Gilbert

Who is Gilbert ? Do you mean Gilbee ?

 

[weltschmerz]

Is Norf tanking?

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Haynes went to take the toss, instead of the captain, in our last game against GWS. That was to scare Bont and remind him of how he had nearly killed Haynes and would never be forgiven or forgotten. Kind of lost its impact as Bonti was oblivious of the whole cunning plan and we won anyway

Funny that Haynes was back playing two weeks after being completely mutilated and traumatised by Bont's vicious and brutal attack.

Best recovery I've ever seen from a near death injury

Only missed one game, against the Fold Coast last year. Hmmm

Also this North-Freo game is lol

Oops

It's not going to be easy to beat them. If we kick as poorly against them as we did against WCE, we won't win.

That's over 10 drafts though.

His 1999 draft class was basically so good that it formed the core for our decent teams a decade later. After that he slowly became worse. It could be argued that his final 4 drafts produced 8 AFL standard players (not counting Monty who was a free hit).

2005 draft: Higgins, Addison, Baird, Monty, West, Davidson,
2006 draft: Everitt, Hill, Lynch, Stack, O'shea, Hughes, Harbrow, Pask, West
2007 draft: Grant, Ward, Reid, Wood, Boumann, O'Keefe, Welsh, Mulligan, White, Shaw
2008 draft: Cordy, Roughead, Jones, Daniels, Picken, Ogle

 

[Leon]

Clayton had some good drafts and some mediocre/poor drafts, no different to virtually any other recruiter.

Don’t think he was a genius but he wasn’t a dud either.

 

[Doggy]

Why did we have to get Freo in the last round

 

[AltonaBoy]

Freo coming into form at the wrong end of the season for us.

I don’t mind this. If we don’t beat them then we don’t deserve to be in it. If we do it’ll be a good game to get our skills up to scratch. Better than going into finals with easy wins (like the game against adelaide last year).

 

[bobs head soup]

Why did we have to get Freo in the last round

Probably because they're the only team we hadn't played.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Is Norf tanking?

Cue is definitely in the rack.

 

[Leon]

They are both shit and tanking.

Such a proud club, “Shinboner Spirit”, they’re just never beaten Norf, write them off at your peril, they just love proving the doubters wrong.

Pfft.

Not saying he was the best ever but he wasn’t a spectacular failure

 

[CarnTheScray]

Not saying he was the best ever but he wasn’t a spectacular failure

He had a fetish for picking the short people of the draft. Picked maybe one tall AFL standard bloke and the rest 185cm midfielders who are a dime a dozen.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Fair few hyphens out there today Yojimbo

 

[Doggy]

Obviously

When he did pick tall they were 70kg

Absolutely true, but he isnt the only recruiter that had problems picking bigs
