    Don't disagree, but I think Macca has brought over new ideas around analysing the type of character we want to add to the list as well. All the players drafted under his watch, being Smith, Talia, Dickson, Pearce, Stringer, Macrae, Hrovat, Hunter and Prudden all seem to tick the right boxes with application and are real professionals already for guys so new to the professional system.

    Some of our previous first round selections appear to have lacked a bit in those areas.

    I don't know if Macca would have the final call on specific players, but I'd say the recruiters work to a pretty strict framework which means the coaches stamp is well and truly on the selection. As well as that of the recruiting staff of course.

    A few of our recent selections can also be linked to other members of the coaching panel too.
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
