It all looks quite bleak.
Betts ... dominant goal kicking small forward in the game.
Waite ... career best form ... absolutely killing them an Norf.
Garlett ... 40 goals last year for Melbourne.
Laidler ... holding down a position in arguable the best team in the comp.
Robinson ... B&F at Brisbane 2015.
Yarran? ... Henderson?
We really know how to give away talent ... We must be the Dumbest Club in the AFL.
Betts will play 100 for Adelaide ... the way Waite is travelling he might play another 3 or 4 years.
We won't get any father sons out of this lot.
And now we are getting more silliness from supporters ... Get rid of Gibbs etc .... lol
Why not get rid of all our talented players ... that's the way to operate .... and as a bonus we lose out an any possible father sons ... Brilliant.
We really are quite Richmondesque!
What goes around, comes around. I bet the very fact that we've refused to trade out players and truly rebuild in the past has led to the way we've handled players leaving in recent years. On the flip side of that, who would you prefer at the club going forward, Charlie Curnow or Henderson, Yarran or Harry Mckay (touch wood)? And yes, we do need to trade out someone of currency in the next two years, especially if we don't get any PP's coming our way.
I would prefer we were not dumb and over-reactive. That we would make good decisions.
Mostly ... we have lost out with our trades. Giving away talent players so that we can speculate is not necessarily the smartest thing to do. The top teams rarely lose their most talented players ... they build and build from the bottom. But not us ... if we don't have a superstar ... we trade them .... lol ... amateurs!!!

And we stuff up time and time again.
We have replaced Richmond as the laughing stock of the league.
We have earned the right to be where we are ... disgraceful!
And ... on top of that we lose out on possible Father-Sons.
