Another prediction please

Posted

Hogan is meant to be in the top 4 next years draft, so how is it that we want to pay pick 3 (already overs) and 13 when he cant play for a year.

I cannot see the logic behind it, we payed pick 12 for Clark who was a ready made taller version of Hogan.

Please do not take him with 2 first rounders, draft Toumpas/Garlett instead as they will have a bigger impact and worry about a Gorilla via Dawes or future drafts.

This price is almost as ludicrous as GC wanting 2 first round picks for Caddy

Flashback... oh dear!

Ah, it's good to occasionally be on the right side of Hindsight History...

I also would love to point out all those saying - 'Kennedy/Garlett are lost to us with ND13 moving to ND20' blah blah blah.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Blue chip picks are hard to come by - you have to either be really bad or very clever...

In hindsight, potentially the worst post in DL history. Toumpas and Garlett instead of Hogan... the club would have been dissolved by now if Olisik was in charge of recruiting.

Maybe he was 2003 - 2013.

(Hey, just joking Olisik. Call my people. We'll do lunch)

It made me giggle.

Hogan was targeted and we got him. It appears the same could be said for Brayshaw, Salem and our 2015 pick 3. As a club we're learning.

Agree with the sentiment of this, but Hogan was acquired when our club was still very, very [censored] up. Schwab was still pulling the strings, Neeld was the head coach, we had no defined recruiting director, and Roos wasn't even a twinkle in PJ's eye.

That's why I said the club was learning. Things aren't always black and white. Past administrations were poor but still capable of making solid decisions such as the pursuit of Hogan. The current administration has taken great strides but isn't perfect.

I really think that Todd Viney's impact on the turnaround of this club cannot be understated.

I'm still scared of (potentially) losing the next Wayne Carey to Freo.

Hopefully Freo will revert back to their steady state of crappiness by the time Jesse's contract is up for renewal.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
