Hrovat Appreciation Society

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

I think Hrovat is the best of our picks from the last draft.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

We've done extremely well with most of our picks, early and late. I'd love to buy the entire recruiting team a beer at season's end.

Dalyrmple has only really made one error to date and that is picking Howard as our first pick. I think to date he has an excellent track record.

If you're going to make a mistake, you really don't want it to be with your first pick.

First pick in that draft and his first draft pick overall!

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

I think that whole draft from him was a bit of a nightmare. Howard, Tutt, Markovic.
Tutt may yet turn out to be a decent player, but plenty of good youngsters missed before and between pick one and two.

Were Hill and Skinner in the same draft? If so they had a nightmare - lets hope it is the equivalent of the 'loosener' in cricket - first ball of a new spell being dispatched to the fence

Don't mind missing with late picks as they are mostly speculative. As for Howard well that's just a bad miss.

Next one. The Wallis/Libber draft.

I liked Tutts kicking into the F50 on the weekend - he was kicking it long to dangerous spaces.

I think Dalrymple can be given a little grace for the Markovic pick too because at the time I believe we had nothing coming through down back if Lake or Williams got injured. And as it turned out Lake missed pretty much a whole season where Marko played a role.

Marko finished in the top 10 of our best and fairest that year - not quite ready to call it a pass, but not the abject failure of many other draftees who don't make the grade.

And there was a lot of ball coming in down back that year....

Anyone else immediately think of the song by The Walkmen, "The Rat", when he gets the ball? Not a bad thing

Great song.

Re: Hrovat Appreciation Society

I thought he was ok today, he does run out of a bit of puff but 16 disposals, 5 tackles and 3 inside 50's. He is also another smart footballer.
