Blame the recruiters

If anyone saw TAC Cup FutureStars today, Terry Wallace recapped the 2008 draft and re-ordered in to how the players would be picked today.

Of course it's subjective, but Watts, Blease and Strauss were all knocked out of the top 20.

To conclude, Wallace did a winners and losers list of the teams that failed that draft, based on the output of their picks.

The winners were West Coast, Collingwood and Essendon - teams that have heavily invested in development.

The losers had MFC topping the list, along with teams that haven't been great at, and haven't invested, for whatever reason, in development.

Terry Wallet should have re caped the drafts that he was involved in when he coached Richmond and the condition he left their list in.

    He's done that in the past.

    Not pretty, but he doesn't hide from it.

    Except Martin didn't have neck tatts when he was drafted.

    Even more of an indictment then.

    Perhaps Prenders got a glimpse of his old man's tatts and saw the writing on the wall?

    It's easy to forget that there were knocks on Dustin Martin athletically, and we've seen an underwhelming output from him this season to date as a result.

    He needs to seriously increase his tank.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
