The problem, is Kruds you dump anyone under 190cm into the small forward label.

Variety is the spice of life,  and those players all bring different strengths to the party.
Yep, They all have their weaknesses too
But quite a few of them are in our best 23.
What they do is give us depth... and options to structure up in a number of different ways.
You keep saying your not being negative, but before I even read your first response to the video of draft night I knew that even if you gave them some faint praise you'd have a sting in the tail.

Quite a few are in our best 23? I would hope so, they take up 1/4 of our list.

All players bring different strengths, sure. We can't play them all though.
I keep hearing these players can play wing or midfield, none of them have made the best 23 (so far) in the midfield yet.....and that doesn't include the mid/half back types vying for the same positions like Campox2, hollands, charleson, now chesser, florent etc.

Yes those players give us depth and ability to structure up in a different way.
We already had depth and ability to structure up in a different way.
We don't have depth, or ability to structure up a different way in other areas though.


I'd already given my response to our drafting previously, you want me to change that because of a video? I just echoed what i said previously. They executed their plan, kudos. I still think its the wrong plan though. A feel good video is suposed to make me change my mind?

You mean the injury hit 2024 and the injury/off field disaster of 2025
Jagga Smith, Harry O'Farrell, the Camporeale boys.
Dean and Ison this year, and loading up for Cody Walker next year.
I'm pretty happy with the last couple of years of recruitment.

Campo boys are good because they are father/sons.
Similarly with Dean and Ison. We took them because they were ours.
Jagga  is fine, but i would've preferred a different midfielder and a KPP instead of the trading up we did.
HOF is fine
No mention of anyone else? Why?
The 6 small(er) forwards we've taken over that period paint a different picture.

Fantasia, Evans, White, Young, Ainsworth and Byrne....when we already had Williams, Cottrell, Fogarty, Motlop, Durdin, E.Hollands, Moir to do a similar role.

Variety is the spice of life.
Variety builds a successful team.
We are not successful.
We've gone backwards since we made the prelim......and lets not forget how many injuries we had in that prelim year as well.
