The only current ten year players we have drafted are Simmo and Walks, the rest have disappeared without a trace.
We might have finally got one right with Cripps but I'm not convinced that trading pick 7 for Jacksch was good value, time will tell.
Jaksch, Whiley and Boekhorst for pick 7 is one that will create a fair few threads in the future either way it works out......I supported the trade and still do.
All three have their issues to overcome but as Meatloaf saidĀ two out of three aint bad and I reckon thats what you are hoping for in that type of deal.
Jaksch vs White was a draw, Whiley had a shocker first up and poor Boekhorst came on when we were getting pumped and while he tried hard he was just
swept aside in the avalanche of Collingwood players getting numbers to the footy...
Reckon Jaksch and the Boeky man can be useful players if we can get them settled.....Whiley may take a bit longer to rebuild his confidence...
I like Boekhorst forward and reckon he could be the crumbing goalkickerĀ we need if Mick could settle him there...
