Oops. How could I forget the hair.

Tom Kelly was on SOS' radar. He was killing it in the WAFL.
We didnt have a pick in the 20's. Lucky Geelong ...he only stayed for 2 years. Was always going back home.
SOS did have his eyes on TDK at pick 30

C’mon Cazzeman
Seriously they were shit footballers
That’s why they weren’t with their initial AFL club
Meanwhile the lower leagues were ignored
The list of players from lower leagues incudes one Carlton AFL
Adam Saad
Doesn’t that tell ya that’s one of the reasons are depth has been shit for years
Even when the evidence is in front of you you still want to debate
By the way I reckon we might win tonight but it’s just filling the cracks in a temporary fashion

My point is that your evidence is based on hindsight, which is always 100% accurate.

If you haven't seen any of them play in the 2 years leading up to the draft, how can you tell us what the Recruiters in the AFL were actually seeing. How would you know they were 'Shite' if you never saw them.

I'm not saying that some of those on your list didn't underperform once they got into the system. Of course they did. But the recruiters can only draw from the bucket they are looking at.

I will agree some of the older one's we picked up are very dubious but out of all the names you have listed there is a multitude of reasons as to why they were chosen. Yes I agree a few were just wrong picks, but without knowing the full story, you are just throwing a blanket over the lot and using the same argument for them all.

I have told the story before but......Wayne Hughes went to the NFL combine one year. He was saying on his return that the NFL recruiters couldn't believe we picked out kids at 17 and 18. They said they pick theirs at 24-25 and still get it wrong. The NFL recruiters said, how can you possibly judge how a kid will change physically and mentally between the ages of 17-23?

Money, Alcohol, Drugs, Women, Adulation, Fawning, Pressure, Injury etc etc.

Of all the 2nd tier players (WAFL,SANF, VFL ect) you have named over the past 5 years, tell which ones are now 1st 22 players and how many never got picked by any AFL club. And if you have gone well then send the list to CFC and put your name up for a non to low paying job.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but it's not as if we don't have former 'overlooked' footballers on the list.

Club needs to come out this week and say.
Crippa, Hewett, Curnow, Weitering, JSOS and 2024 draftees are all safe.
All the rest are up for trade, delist or sacked at the end of the year.
And it's up to them if they want a list spot in 2026.

Nick Haynes agrees with you

I believe Austin is part of the problem has absolutely stuffed up every draft since he has been here

Lachie Schultz
Wasn’t he recruited from Williamstown

Start of the clean out get rid of Austin. Absolute fraud

FWIW, there was a rumour posted on BF that Austin was going to "resign" in coming weeks.

This week will be great, thanks.

We are Screwed beyond belief.......


So this Season is Gone already... We are expected to finish bottom 6.... GREAT, something to build on for the future, some decent picks.... BUT Guess What??????


Our Genius Austin has given away most of our 1st & 2nd round Picks to other Clubs for the next 2-3 years in exchange for NOTHING......


Can you believe this? We got no picks, no Future and the same old Crap.......Deep Hole that will extend for the next 5 years!!
