You mean they didn't go to Sydney to sign with GWS?

Oh.

Is that:

• A The future leadership group right there ?
  
• B Our future top 6 ?
  
• C All of the above ?

+ McKenzie

I'm wondering how the group was put together

Jordie and Jurrah would have to be a bit stiff not to get a guernsey? Done a bit more than Watts has at this stage? The older blokes not interested in a possible career in the media?

Looks like a good initiative though, anything we can do to go anywhere near matching what the big clubs can offer our boys. Fingers crossed.

• D The players most likely to get poached by other clubs in the coming years, thus we are trying to show them that we can offer them more than just money

The most probable answer I think is that these were the blokes who put their hands up.

What's more likely is that they are more tv friendly than anyone else at the club, regardless of their achievements, age or stature.

It's a combination of looks, talent, age and prominence/celebrity.

Don't think it's really Jurrah's thing, he's super media-shy.

Notice how there is a considerable gap between how they're all standing together between Tom Scully and the others? I read this as a sign he's not thought of as part of the group, and is itching to get out of the studio and to his 3PM appointment out at the Rooty Hill RSL.

Already covered in another thread DemonDave. Fact is, Natasha Belling farted.

Excuse my boldness.

You're right.................he's gone!

hell of a coincidence they happen to be our four top4 draft picks plus two first rounders who have come on strongly

rookie listers not welcome?

Not sure if this has been mentioned but this was a trip organised by vice president Guy Jalland, an executive at Consolidated Press Holdings (packer empire, channel 10 part owner).

I am pretty sure this was an exercise in showing off to some of our key youngsters our friends in high places.

You mean they didn't go to Sydney to sign with GWS?

Oh.

It's all a smoke screen I reckon!!

This is great by the club, to keep all these guys over the next 10 years, they need to increase their earning potential from outside the club. The best way is to appear in the media, get a regular spot on a footy show, a column in a paper or get on the TV coverage of other games.

Yeah i think that we all understand what this exercise entails, i think that it is great that the board ect are finally starting to use many of their industry contacts to the clubs advantage, and flaunting it also, is a good look for the club.

Does 'A' refer to GWS' future leadership group?

On a serious note, probably not top 6 / future leadership group, but you'd hope at least a few of them would be.
