I don't think I've heard many FA's nominate GWS as their preferred destination. And I don't mean oldies on their last legs. The job GWS have to build a successful club and culture is pretty difficult IMO.You can identify the same deficiencies in both teams...debatable leadership, lack of physicality and both lists constantly have injured players....bad luck maybe or just brittle players to start with?
I also have mixed feelings about SOS, but we're always riding the blame merry-go-round, because if you rate SOS, it must be development, or the coach, or Russell or..........................
GWS have those skills we crave and yes they have been a supermarket for players for other clubs but how many of those players have really kicked on, smacked it out of the park at other clubs and propelled those teams to greater glory...maybe Jack Steele.
How many GWS players are there on the recent premiership winners lists?..Townsend at the Tigers.....
Richmond, Hawthorn, Bulldogs, West Coast havent really over done the GWS theme have they?
