It's true however ledge makes an interesting observation.
Who is the last kpd we developed?

We developed a couple .. into forwards .

Liam Jones, we just outsourced it to Carlton for a few years.

Probably Fletcher Roberts was the last.

Hopefully JOD, Busslinger and perhaps Croft reverse the trend.

Outsourced love it. He was a forward with us xD

Also took some huge marks in his day - so can add to your thread on high marking

Naughton came as a backman and Bruce was a back when he started at GWS. Bruce ended up being a hole filler up forward and back.

How is Bruce relevant - GG was talking about KPDs we developed? Naughton would have been if he had stayed down back.

Well we eventually picked him up as a forward then tried to develop him as a back again at the age of what 30odd ?
I guess it was trying to find a spot for him once we had Naughts, JUH and Darcy coming on.
Might have worked if his knee didn’t go though.

[Twodogs]

plus Duryea

And Crozier

[Twodogs]

Until Paul Dear? I loved fossy.

Yep. Paul Dear. We were humming along that season too. Losing Foster for the season really cost us.

[Twodogs]

Who is the last kpd we developed?

Caleb Daniel?

[D Mitchell]

Brian Wilson ? That slow kid who was never going to amount to anything, ship him off the Melbourne, a guarantee he'd fail.

[Olddog]

Pickers for me - rookie pick 30 and now a premiership player

What could have been without the horrid concussions.

What happened to the court case? I'd suggest it was settled with a non disclosure agreement. Sad he had to pull the media lever to get it done.

[D Mitchell]

..pull the media lever to get it done.

If that's what happened, blame his lawyers, not necessarily Picken, even though he had to give his instructions. Wasn't 2016 a mammoth year for Picken ? Don't we love it that blokes like Pickens played for us ?

Maybe footy as an identifier has had its day. When C'wood beat M'bourne, that validated footy as an expression of footy as class struggle. What do we make of Taiwan defying CCP China ?
