We should have learned our lesson, we paid plenty for Judd and it didn't get us past week two of the finals.
One player won't do it for us.

That's because the bottom of our side was crap. Difference is this time we are adding cream to good youngsters, not crap.

I'll take 2nd week of the finals...lol

Shiel wins enough of his own ball, we just need to bring in some quality. Problem is anyone of real quality is not going to come to a basket case

If they back their recruiters then I would disagree, it is the number one pick after all. I would offer it to the Swans for Hannaberry and their 2nd rounder.

No.1 pick I'd swap for two first rounders. Use one on a star trade, the other in the draft.

I think I read Brandon Ellis is also playing VFL, but could be wrong.

If the tigers continue their low injury toll, there's likely a couple of players getting impatient. I've been impressed with Taranto, and we've previously our interest in Hopper. Hopper would IMO be the perfect partner for Crippa and co.

I think the bloke we could get is De Goey, but our no d1ckheads policy probably prevents us recruiting real footballers.

Instead we'll probably trade for a middle distance runner who can follow instructions and speaks nicely to the media.

De Goey has been going well as a forward, but we desperately need hard bodied mids

DeGoey's currency has gone up. Some say he'd attract just short of a mill! He'd be a good get but I suspect he'll resign. I think he was drafted as a mid. Has gone fwd to fill the void left by the likes of Fasolo Elliot etc.

Yes please. Was keen on Sloane for years, not anymore. DeGoey is blood good tuff footballer, I suspect he will stay at the Pies though.

Lamb was probably the only bloke who won his contest all day.

Get a proper coach and proper recruiting agent and we'll get better.  Quickly.

In 2013, Melbourne finished 17th on the ladder with 2 wins. We finished 9th with 11 wins. Compare the recruitment and player development of the 2 clubs in the following period. Melbourne miles ahead.  We've had so many wasted years in the past 20. As a 35 year member, makes me sick.

We just don't have the big bodies apart from Cripps.
 

The rest of our midfielders were brushed aside like the lightweights they are.

Graham definitely one of our better players - I hope to see him get a few more games.

Our very own Miss Maven was keen on Taranto pre draft. I've not seen him play at all since he was drafted, but somehow I doubt the Giants would let him go, and certainly not cheaply. No 2 pick I believe, and certainly looks a good size.
