We can always lure them home in due course.
The net gain from a National Draft is monumental for us, yeah sure we don’t get first dibs on the WA talent, HOWEVER, now the size of the draft pool that we get to pick from …… quadruples.
Being restricted to WA talent alone created a massive negative divide between us merely trying to keep up with list improvements across the league and closing the gap and making headway in list improvement.
Previously the best we would get excited about was someone like Cleaver, who by comparison would be along way behind the pecking order the likes of:
Belloni
Brisbane
Mahoney
With a National Draft we now will get better value for our draft capital.
Previously we got to pick the best of the Kia, Hyundai now we can also pick from the European cars Mercedes, Audi and BMW.
Our list will improve dramatically over the next four years and we will finally be able to make some headway in the task of closing the gap between us and the genuine contenders.
Like the mens - just need to get rid of the bullshit system whereby the Northern States are mollycoddled and favoured.
