So little idea...

Not all players can be elite (by definition) but that doesn’t discount a player from being a good fit for your system and filling a key role.

The bloke does not have the ability to fill a key role.

My concern is that in four finals he didn't really show much at all and isn't that the stage/place you are expecting any player to stand up a little?

Also the Tigers get creative and go after Pickett.  We pick up the usual medium non speedy type in Dunkley who, yes needs more time and i still think he will be ok, but out of the two we need outside run, bit of class and finish (Pickett) yet choose the slower more inside / gruntier type (again) ??

How are we ever going to bridge the gap on clubs that are already 10 goals ahead (roughly) every time we play them when we keep choosing more grunty meat & potatoe types that have no excitement on the outside, can't break lines and relatively sluggish movers?  Don't we have enough already?

Surely we can get a little more creative / daring for a change and  try to pick up a mature Pickett / Jurrah type from somewhere who has X factor and can make a difference in big matches???

We haven't been bold enough with our recruiting since the Jurrah saga. Continue to play it safe with private school boys instead.

Sydney Stack, Marlion Pickett, Liam Ryan are just perfect examples who we've had the opportunity to select.

Hey DD.  Well I would have recruited pickett and personally had the ability to handle him. I would have had Nic nat over Watts, would never have fallen for all the other recruiters bluff with Scully and Trengove, just one of the two small men. One look at Toumpas was enough to see nothing. Tyson and Salem was a no again.  And its a no to Thomlinson in our hour of need for speed, skill and creativity with the ball. And I would definetely not fallen for Goodwins cheat sheets at interview. Does he mentor Greta Thunberg.

Please, tell us the top 25 picks in this year's draft? You're the expert. The first 2 are obvious. 

From Sam Edmund’s article in the Sun today “Tomlinson has just played his last match for the Giants as he seeks a trade to a Melbourne club. He has what morher Kaye calls a ‘double sadness’. “Its his last game for the Giants. He’s leaving his wonderful friends and this wonderful club” Mrs Tomlinson says”.

He would have recruited Pickett, though.  Ten bucks says he wouldn't have said that prior to his debut.  Funny that.

Not interested in 23 of them. We need to pick 2 of them. I dont agree with Anderson as a lock in. Our second round with go for Langdon but that is un inspiriring and a needless addition of a ponytail.

Fair to say then that you’re not happy with them getting a game in the seniors then?

We’re simply upgrading these types of players that you have said yourself that you wouldn’t recruit. Surely Tomlinson is a better option than them?

Dusty was Awarded the Norm Smith for Best on Ground. We could have had him.

Not only would I have recruited him but have the ability to handle and mentor him.

If you’re so full of answers then why not tell us what you’d do

Luv ya work, Sk.....Tomlinson is a very, very uninspiring pick

Close to the dumbest reasoning I have seen. What were their odds last week? (hint: they were bigger outsiders than this week)

IMO GWS were beat up, Whitfield playing after having his appendix out was a massive red flag, ( If you have had your appendix out you would understand the playing discomfort) Davis was on one leg, Mummy a complete liability.

GWS played there Grand Final against the pies, and another close game against the Lions.

3rd week of travel, only a mug would have thought it was going to be close. Looks like you fall into that category Wattsy. Never going to be close.

The screenshot was just a reminder not a reason, that i put my money where my mouth is.

He wouldn't have even known who Pickett was before yesterday.

We have to replace the players we’ve already delisted and there’ll be more who leave. Since we can’t replace them all from the draft, who would you bring in that we don’t have to trade for JR?

For free, he is a good get for our side.

He's not a free hit though 'Wise', he's going to take some cap space and he also takes a spot on the list.

A nice public school boy who plays nice football.

In terms of bringing in a bloke who is AFL ready and has been in the system for years then, yes, to me that's a free hit.  You don't find them in the draft.

What other free agents are a good age for us, fill some needs, don't want huge overs and are willing to come to the 17th placed side?
