Re: Following our ex's...................
They just delisted Viojo-Rainbow, Clem Smith & Jayden Foster. That's 3/4 of their National draft from 2 years ago. Not high picks but that's still appalling.Park that car

Re: Following our ex's...................
And they took a massive trade downgrade (7>19) for Jacksch who could get cut next year (Duggan, Wright, Cockatoo, Lever available) with Whiley who was delisted also. All the rookies selected in the rookie draft have been cut inside 2 years too. Tutt drafted in the PSD, cut too. Brought in Jones on $1,000,000 on three years and let Waite walk for no compensation. Brought in Dick as a DFA who got cut too.
Could be the worst ever trade/draft period by a club in the history of the entire competition.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
The full trade was pick 7 for Jaksch (1 game in 2016), Mark Whiley (1 game) and pick 19 (Blaine Boekhorst, 7 games, ave. 13 disposals). As you said, players available between pick 7 (Paul Ahern) and pick 19 included Wright, Cockatoo, Lever and Lachie Weller.
Yet the most irresponsible trade of that period was apparently the Tom Boyd trade...Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
Yep. I looked into their rookie draft and updated my post, their entire list management (trades, free agency, ND, PSD & RD) are almost all gone. Only Jaksch & Jones have survived owing to their contracts. I'm saying it, this is the worst ever. By a Winx like margin.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
You could be right - lets look at the whole thing:
Free Agents
Waite out to North for no compensation - lets let a proven goal kicker walk.
Dick in from Sydney - delisted.
Trades
Garlett and 83 out to Melbourne for 61 and 79 - lets let another proven goal kicker walk.
Pick 7 out to GWS for Whiley, Jaksch and 19 - Whiley delisted, Jaksch struggling.
Pick 46 (Caleb Daniel) out to Bulldogs from Liam Jones - Lol.
National Draft
19 Boekhorst - has been disappointing, widely considered a reach at pick 19.
28 Viojo- Rainbow - delisted.
60 Smith - delisted.
63 Foster - delisted.
Pre-Season Draft
2 Tutt - delisted.
Rookie Draft
6 Gowers - delisted.
24 Walsh - delisted.
41 Fields - delisted.
58 Russell - delisted.
What an hilarious disaster.

Re: Following our ex's...................
Only thing worse is that they'd love to axe Jones & Jaksch but they have contracts for next year on maybe $600,000 or so combined!
And KJ, LJ & Boekhorst played 16 games combined this year, for an average at about 10 disposals...Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

If not, thank god he can't draft either, stuffing up pick 7 by choosing the admittedly injury plagued Ahern, when he could have had a genuine star like Wright or Lever.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment
