I'm not saying we should have kept those players but we didn't replace them. We went for youth and that means we have to go backwards to go forwards.Agree, but I'm thinking the non chasing Houston was an error as he would have had an instant impact for us.
Yes and no. LM drafts players on football ability and character. Gimme a hard working, loyal B grader who would run through brick walls for the jumper and the coach over an A grade sook who throws the toys out of the pram when it all gets too hard.
while i agree the LM decisions are bewildering imo Voss is still not the man. he is controlling a team that was supposed to be playing deep into sept yet lost to cellar dwellers in Richmond, North and pumped by Port.
Cant blame the LM for that.
Or there's a lot of hand wringing about what is quoted when potentially he's not talking about anyone in particular.Quote“But I feel like we’ve got the right group of people at the club to really band together and stick together.
“And we’ve got your mob this week, mate, so it’s always a big clash, big rivalry, which usually brings out the best in both sides.”
Maybe its just a subtle message for TDK.
Some of us were VERY pissed off with the list direction in the off-season flagging that had not improved our list in the off-season.
Some of us were VERY strongly aiming the cross-hairs on Lloyd and the recruiting department for taking this direction.
Voss is coping all the flack, when he was essentially set up to fail by the above.
The cherry on top was 'the saviour' doing his knee and being out for the year.

We went to the draft last year after losing a few seasoned footballers and then replaced them with the likes of Evans!
And then we wonder why we went backwards.

Id argue Voss was hired to win a premiership and not build a list and that adding established players to fill holes on your list was what most clubs would do when in the premiership window.
