Agree with all that
Problem is the mature players were or are below average
He could of done a lot better. There would be a dozen blokes in the Geelong Football League better
than some blokes he got to top the list up. Meanwhile clubs like Geelong snag Kelly. Not enough diligence was placed on getting some mature bodies from the West and South Australia .

I keep coming back to the point about the third year of this rebuild.
We were not just bad. We were absolutely pathetic. Surely the List Management team might take stock and think that some of blokes they recruited were not as good as they thought.
Getting blokes like Shaw,Mullett and O’ Shea was plain @#$%&! embarrassing

What compounds the problem more is Dow, O’ Brien and Kennedy who were picked with high picks.
They really haven’t done much.
Kennedy is ordinary
O’Brien is soft and many recruiters were surprised by his selection at ten for that reason
Dow is a real concern. His kicking is horrible but more of a worry is he can’t find it
He needs to go back to the magoos to get some confidence

Personally I don’t think much of the other 2
Hopefully DeKoning will become the ruckman we need.
They should of reset again last year at the draft and didn’t.
Do what it’s worth McAdam has the physical tools to make it
Kreuger is showing great form at the VFL
At the very least we should have used pick 13 on Stocker and waited a year before going for mature players
But not McGovern
Setterfield is just a player. I personally would of kept Kreuger and had a pick on the early 20s in this draft. Sos’sbest pick was Fisher at 27. It can be done Jim.
Fasolo


Sos’s first draft was excellent. His second draft was good although with picking deciding its all too hard
means the Tuohy trade is a bit of a stinker .

Our first 3 picks in the 2019 draft will be around 15 then 2 picks in the 40 s
I wonder what MLG thinks of that
I think I know what Liddle thinks.
The future is not looking good

One thing for sure, if I expressed my opinion I wouldn't repeat it in every vaguely relevant thread, 301 times.

Or should I say "would of not repeated"?

You are tiresome Keogh. Take the hint.

In relation to the other poster’s 6 board mantras

With point 4 that baby went out the window in last years draft
Point 5 is debatable
And point 4 and 5 relate to point 6

Interesting Freo have less players in their list from 2016 than us
That’s been a stock standard line from our club
Yeah we have had a lot of list changes
Excuse again
Going in 2 weeks
I know you are all looking forward to my blow by blow March report

We’ve been friends nearly two decades.

Am I doing something wrong?

How about that game against the bulldogs hey...???

Was a weird one !

This is the equivalent of the umpire doing nothing about the pinching complaint.

I didn't see the game, but I went to the first Bulldogs game. Where we played 4 quarters of sustained pressurised footy. And walked away with a win, easily in the end.

This game the Blues go well for a quarter and a bit and get pipped by 3 points. What that means I have NFI, but maybe, just maybe as simple as the game goes for 4 quarters, so apply yourself for 4 #@%$& quarters.

This is the equivalent of the umpire doing nothing about the pinching complaint.

We need to develop JSOS as an inside mid that can swap with cripps so that if we need to help break a tag we can send Cripps forward. I can see anyone else on the list that can fill that role and I wouldn't be using quality picks or trades to find one

Next year the likes of SPS, Fisher, Cunningham, Dow, Walsh, Setterfield and Stocker should be able to provide more assistance in this regard.

I've no idea why SOSOS was dropped.

They're testing his mettle.
He goes back and slaughters it so they select him again in the ones.
His issue is that he isn't really good at anything except busting his arse in the contest and that doesn't show on the stats sheet. His 3peat effort that led to our first goal against the Lions shows up as a smothered kick and a handball. It doesn't say how hard he worked to get that footy outside. yes, the coaches saw it but in the hurly burly of the end of the year review, it will be forgotten.
He has worked hard on his body shape and if he can develop into a midfielder, I think that's his best hope but the coaches see him as a forward option in a team with three tall forwards.

I liked Jordan Lewis in 360 when he told how when went back to the twos he asked to play in the midfield so he could get some touches where he used to play at Hawthorn.
Jack should be asking for time where he thinks he has the best chance. If that's in the midfield, he should be looking for midfield minutes. If not, he can only do what he is doing and get lots of the footy, tackle, do the 1%ers and kick goals. If that isn't good enough to displace Charlie, Harry or Gov or get a pressure forward position, he looks elsewhere.
