we have an inconsistent side to say the least

hard not to live week to week when there is such extremes

I find it quite easy.

We all know (or should know) that young teams are notoriously inconsistent.

Why should we be any different?

It's not that hard when you use your noggen.

Players in (in my opinion) our best 22 with less than 50 AFL games: Bail, Bennel, Garland, Grimes, Gysberts, Jurrah, McKenzie, Petterd, Scully, Tapscott, Trengove, Watts, Wonaemirri.

That's 13 out of 22.

Then look at the players with less than 50 AFL games who are right on the cusp of pushing into our best 22 + those still developing: Maric, Jetta, Martin + Blease, Strauss, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Cook, Howe, McDonald, Nicolson, Evans. Add Viney to that group.

We are a VERY inexperienced team. We will have our ups and downs.... but look at the bigger picture. In 2 years time we will be ready to peak and all those guys mentioned will be pushing 80-100 games!

Like to know how Viney will be at 80-100 games in 2 years!

In light of the probable delisting of Cook I thought I'd give this a bump.

Thanks for the reminder that Range Rover's posts were as tedious and repetitve in early 2011 as they are in late 2012.

Thanks Rob.

Was on the money then and nothing's changed.

I assume that means you're still a virgin then?

I've had more women than you've had men. ie. A lot.

This just shows your stupidity mate. You're someone that still thinks calling someone gay is an insult.

Didn't realize it was school holidays again so soon.

Lol... That's a very possessive way to talk about women but don't worry you'll learn respect when you get older!

Your sex life matches your contributions to this board. Quantity over quality.

Pages and pages of rubbish...

Here is the Draft..all three..you have a pick in each round, you have a briefing from the Footy Dept, you make a judgement call, it may work it may not...s**t happens.....the Darling situation gives me the s***s....EVERY club PASSED on him

You have 46 players on a list recruited with a variety of methods by a Recruiting Dept, the list changes every year, you have a Coaching group with the brief to turn them into a Premiership winning side....... if that doesn't happen people leave and you start again....simple......turning over the soil page after page after page....achieves what.....nothing.............LOOK FORWARD....you never know the Recruiting Team may get it right this year

If you think that Darling/Cook is the only problem with our recruiting then I suggest you have a long hard look at our list.

No one expects the recruiters to get it right all the time, but a couple every now and then wouldn't hurt.
