Brayshaw only relates to the compensation pick we got for Frawley though? If Frawley had stayed, then we'd probably not needed Lever for another 2-3 years, and could've made a massive offer to another mid. Hard to get a read on whether we've come out on top of that one .

everyone knew martin was the best player at the time the draft, Melbourne just couldn't handle the potential of him going off the rails. I honestly never rated JT but don't blame the recruiters for drafting Scully.

Wouldn't have made a difference, GWS just would've thrown the money at Dusty instead of Scully and he would have gone north. Sheedy was on a mission to take our number 1 pick, didn't matter who it was.

It's amazing now looking back at that. What a shambles of a club we were by making 2 x 21 yo boys captains.

And whats worse is there weren't better candidates.

Not knocking the boys but wowee we were in a bad spot.

 

Jones was a better candidate

True. A very good point.

I also think that people are mistaken if they think we would have kept Dusty on the straight and narrow.

We should have got Dusty instead of Trengove. Trengove was a disaster while Dusty and Scully are proven players.

Well yeah, but he'd have to put together some consistent seasons and more of last weeks form confidently to say that. Frawley down back would've had us making the finals last year and potentially the season before, as we would not have leaked goals like a sieve.

Took me back to the Jack Watts chest mark dropping heydays that one, though the kid has quite a few years to learn to take that one hands outstretched.

I know we’re knit picking 1 play but the arms need to be extended and so does the knee to keep the player coming out you away from you. Knee out and old mate doesn’t get near punching it.
