I have a room for you, RR. It's all painted white. All the furniture and furnishings are white. There will be no darkness to further disturb you.

Biff you win best reply.

What do I Get?

A one-way ticket to Palookaville?

Throw in a lazyboy, foxtel and a fridge full of beverages and I'm there.

But seriously, how bad has our recruiting been? It's beyond the pale no?

[Guest King Cuthbertson]

I think we should set up a 'truth commission' to allow all living former MFC recruiters the opportunity to explain their side of the story in a public forum...

You win a double pass to the 2012 draft to witness first hand us squander another three first round draft picks. BYO razor blades!

[Akum 2,660]

An interesting exercise of higher draft selections dating back the past ten years. Players in the 'who we missed' side generally fell in the picks immediately after the players we chose. There are a few anomalies but I think readers should be able to draw a conclusion or two from it.

...

WHO WE PICKED

B: Bartram Frawley Grimes

HB: Rivers Garland Strauss

C: Morton Sylvia Scully

HF: Bate Cook Trengove

F: Maric Watts Blease

Foll: Gawn McLean Jones

Int: Howe Gysberts Tapscott Petterd

One conclusion: take out those who are at other clubs and those who are injured and it's a pretty good catalogue of players whose performances have gone backwards at a rate of knots since Neeld became coach. Subtract Jones and maybe Howe, and add Green, Moloney, Davey, Martin, Bennell & McKenzie and it's just about complete.

Probably a poll.

Oh come on Akum.

Davey , Green and Moloney are in the twilight of their careers, Bennell has always been ordinary and Mckenzie has always been a lousy kick,

From where I sit Neeld has nothing to do with any of that.

The list is just poor, JC would have trouble with this group.

I hereby declare Range Rover the most useless poster on this board.

I cannot think of a single other poster whose posts are consistently total wastes of space.

Harsh, I think overenthusiastic is a better description.
