This and player development are our two greatest failings for more than a decade, and player development has gone backwards in the last few years.
Our recruiting has killed us, only Melbourne has a record anywhere near as bad.
The only semi regular senior players taken outside the first round and still on our list in the last 10 years are Rowe, Armfield and Graham, and none of them are what you'd call stars.
Add in our first round flops like Watson, Bootsma, Lucas and Menzel the way he's travelling plus trading 22 for Warnock and it's a tale of woe.
A dart board would have been more productive than our talent spotters.
