I think we wanted him to make it out of desperation and save face but it wont happen. If we took a punt on him with a pick in the 30s, 40s or 50s? It wouldnt have been so bad. But pick 19? The guy who the rising star and a premiership was picked at 46, sadly Boeky would tie his boot laces.
If we could make a half Robinson/Boekhorst clone, with the good halves, we'd be sweet to go!

Hopefully we'll be in position to ditch most of the remaining dead wood this year. Boy it's been a nightmare!

I want all our players to make it. Boeky seems like this years version of Kane Lucas - has wheels and a bit of silk, and that's pretty much it.

Amazingly I think we have at least another 10 that are gone at years end.
Has there ever been a rebuild by other club which emptied the cupboard like us?

Probably getting right off topic here. But add to your list our free agents, come year's end.

x2..Our own Crashlander said he was only rookie material or a late pick at best...and the same Crash was all over Caleb Daniel.....our previous recruiters were possibly the worst in the history of the modern game...

I spat it on this site when Boekhorst was recruited. Has never looked liked he wanted it badly enough and has never adapted to the more physical nature of senior AFL footy as opposed to the WAFL.
Meanwhile the bloke many of us were screaming to recruit at 19 - Laverde - hasn't set the house on fire but he at least is a chance to make it.
Instead of Laverde we targeted his teammate, Viojo-Rainbow. Another wipe out. Reminds me of when we drafted Damian Lock and WCE took his teammate Micheal Braun with the next pick. Who exactly were our recruiters watching at these U18 games?
Hindsight is wonderful, should have kept the pick and grabbed two metre Peter or Marchbank in the first place.

Do you blame the blame or the system?
Our development structures/systems/programs have been massive duds for so long now it barely gets talked about.....
