Daniel Talia - Another recruiting blunder?

[Johnny Karate 559]

Not really fussed over Talia - key defenders is the one area in which we're ok. He's a handy footballer, hardly the next Silvagni or Scarlett.

Let's start a hindsight poll about how we should've taken Fyfe instead of Gysberts & Ball instead of Tapscott. Itd have more relevance given our midfield is still shizen.

Talia just broke his arm... Lucky we didn't draft him hey... I mean, that's what this thread is all about right?

He always gets injured in finals-that's the mail.

Over these types of threads.

Can we understand that this is going to be flogging a dead horse forever?

There's nothing we can do except move on.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

Right. So we have a duty to pick players who want to play for us, do we?

I'm glad our recruiters aren't picking players just because they tell us they want to play for us.

Did I say that mate? Cant remember typing that anywhere. Just making the point that he could have been ours and unlike some draftees that considered Melbourne undesirable. Tom McDonald is a handy back.

or Physics, & he's tight with Biro's as well.

I don't see how it's relevant.

Of course he could have been ours. But he isn't. The fact that he liked us does not mean we should have given him greater thought.

If we were going to consider him, it would have been for his ability and whether we thought he was the right fit. Not because he told us he wanted to play for us.
