There should be a separate side room in the bulldogs Hall of Fame reserved for the…. ‘Talls of Shame’.
A dimly lit, quiet reflective little alcove dedicated to the horrors of trading in mediocre talls. Carved in a plain typeface, in white marble, with an eternal candle burning, will be the names of those who have come before. Those who have arrived, weary and downtrodden from distant clubs. Those who have had little or no impact on our perpetual struggle.
When trade time comes around, the recruiting staff will be made to spend a half an hour in there in quiet reflection before chasing down any fringe talls from other teams. And make them think twice before chasing players who are in the middle of an ‘out of character’ hot streak. Players who are flavour of the month.
(Remember how hot John Butcher was there for a while?)
Anyway, here are the names to be forever etched in the hallowed walls of the Bulldogs……………. ‘TALLS OF SHAME’
(respectful silence please)
James Cook
Kingsley Hunter
Trent Bartlett
Simon Minton Connell
Daniel Bandy
Allen Jakovich
Aaron James
Adam Morgan
Tom Davidson
Lochlan Veale
Jade Rawlings
Travis Baird
Andrew McDougall.
Ed Barlow
The question now is this.………
Would the name Levi Casboult end up in the Hall of Fame?
Or the ‘Talls of Shame’.
I’m not sure.
