Not today it seems!

hahaha great stuff.

The penny seems to have dropped if the appointment of a quality developer of youth in Alan Richardson is anythingto go by.

Collingwood were not hiring either. He knew somebody on the Collingwood recruiting team and they put a good word in for him because he has a very good eye for detail and is willing to put in the time. Derek Hine has trust in his staff so he interviewed Stephen and obviously liked what he heard. Collingwoods gain, our loss. The first step to recruiting is to build up a good network.

What, as ADP?

Go baggers or souly.

Same shit, same smell.

"They're [REDACTED]'

We broke the rules and that has cost us, but we all know that.

Here is the last 11 drafts from the Pies - I have dropped out delisted picks. Find the lot at Footywire.com

Pies have benefited from some clever drafting of rookies but missed on some like Lovett-Murray and Pods, Father son also helped as did tanking - Fraser, Didak and Thomas.

Like all Premiership clubs they have worked the system, some have cheated Essendon* & Carlton, Some have merged - Brisbane, Some have extra money in the Cap - Brisbane & Sydney, Some hid player - Port Adelaide and West Coast, Some have Father sons - Geelong. Some had an overly strong zone - North Melb.

In my estimation are at about Pies 2005 - But the AFL has screwed us, by taking our picks for GC and GWS, we would have really benefited from another few top 10 picks. I guess with what the AFL takes with one hand they will give back with free agency.

We have lost nothing off field we have employed the best available. What we lack is onfield talent. Once you have that in spades, other clubs respect you. Too many clubs like Hawthorn, Collingwood, North, Freo and Swans don't respect us, but that is our fault.

Yet another reactive, emotionally driven post

Football is about emotions, that is why so many people follow it

Are they becoming what we used to be

Or

are we becoming them
