They wanted country kids at the Lions after others left.

I think Josh being from Seymour may have confirmed their bias and elevated him, although I assume others had him high too. But that's always been my gut feel with that one.

At one point in the year, many talent scouts had him at number #1 before Weitering. So it wasn't just a Lions country bias.

I'm still going with it as it fits my narrative

76 games in 9 years and three clubs . Thats a pretty low return for a pick 2 .
I wonder how the recruiters got it so wrong ? Including ours.
My summation is his personality wasn?t hard enough, no doubt he had ability and trained well but just didn?t have it.
You would think recruiters would pick that up.

From your comment I would assume that you have never dabbled in the futures (share) market?
Sometimes it's difficult to predict an end result.

His dad played for Brisbane and died of cancer, there was a bit of emotion in the drafting of him and maybe a bit of reason for the reach.

Yep - pretty sure he and Weitering were the standout no 1 & no 2 at the draft for many months.

Collingwood to meet with former Western Bulldog Robert Murphy over key off-field role

After the departures of Graham Wright and Brendan Bolton, Collingwood are on the look out for highly-credentialed replacements. An ex-Western Bulldogs star might be one of them.

Collingwood is set to meet with Western Bulldogs’ legend Robert Murphy about potentially joining the Magpies in a key off-field role.

Murphy, who captained Western Bulldogs amid a sparkling 312-game career, has returned to Victoria after spending three years at Fremantle in various roles including head of football and performance and leadership boss.

The Magpies are set to rejig their football department and have been speaking to highly-credentialed candidates about helping replace Graham Wright and Brendon Bolton as new head of football.

Collingwood missed out on Port’s Chris Davies and Brisbane’s Danny Daly, but are set to speak with Murphy, 42, next week.

The Magpies need to lock in a new right hand man for coach Craig McRae by the start of preseason next month.

Murphy was also considering a return to the footy media after a decorated stint on radio and as a newspaper columnist, but could be swayed to stay in club land in 2025.

Murphy is a popular and highly-respected figure in football for helping lead the Bulldogs from the bottom reaches of the ladder to the 2016 premiership.

He didn’t play in the 2016 Grand Final after suffering a torn ACL but was given Luke Beveridge’s premiership medallion.

He was but then he read the thread about him on woof and thought 'these people used to love me!!!'

Quite a bit of mayo on that assessment.

Good luck to him if he lands a gig at the filth.

Re: Following our exes...................

Worth mentioning Stringer. His devaluation is staggering for a young AA.

Top pick to us.
Two mid range picks on to the Dons.
Pick 53, with some salary, on to the GWS.

Just staggering his fall. Are Essendon fans still gloating over what they paid. Or have they worked out they gave up the picks to Balta and TDK? To get Pick 53 after a handful of seasons. Dodoro wins again.

Of all the bylines on WOOF, and there are many, this one where you flog Murphy as overrated is one of my favourites.
