Re: Since the Rhode era…
Rohde may well have left behind Cooney and Ray and allowed Eade Griff.
But he also cost us a top pick (Rawlings) which was used on a CHB, although we would've picked up another gun midifelder (Tenace, Dunn maybe a tall in Watts), and gave up pick 19 (David Mundy) for Koops. With both traded players playing a combined 35 games at most.
Imagine another two more young guns in the team not. You wouldnt be able to do a best 22.
Rohde's legacy is missed opportunities.
