We go over this time and time again on this forum, but we won't all agree. Yes plenty of misses but also plenty of top footballers in his time with us.

Dalrmple hasn't got everything right to date, but that is the nature of recruiting. I really question Pearce, Lower, Goodes, Fuller, Young, Prudden,(could still work) Schofield, Skinner, Moles, Hooper, Austin, Markovic, and Mulligan.

Excellent pickups in the last few years, but helps when you have picks 4, 5 or 6 and those years would have been hard to miss a good player. Yes I know Walsh didn't make it and he was a top 4/ 5. So what, so was Howard.
Huh?

Young and Lower were trades, Mulligan was drafted by Clayton, Austin, Hooper, Moles, Goodes were all rookies. Prudden and Pearce were drafted 3 years ago and are still on the list, and Fuller is 5 games into his second season.

The Clayton/Eade combo barely picked a player between 2005 and 2008 that's still on the list, nothing can come close to that level of ineptitude. Dalrymple should have a statue erected in his honour compared to what went before him.

Lynch, Stack, Baird, West, Davidson, O'shea, Everitt, Hughes, Pask, Reid, Boumann, O'Keefe, Mulligan, White, Shaw.. The hits were never ending!
