No.2 - the overall list build job SOS did at GWS (not just drafting) was absolutely first class. Just compare it to the strategy employed at GC for an idea of how it could very easily have gone wrong. Not only did he find gun players but also enough of them who were willing to stay put. People look at the concessions and think that's it they had to succeed - that is so simplistic... and wrong. Forget go-home factor - GWS are now a destination club (Deledio, Mumford, Shaw, Griffin, Johnson, Patful, etc. etc.)
GWS didn't just succeed they smashed it and all because SOS picked apart what was on offer from the AFL and was able to magnify the benefits.
The next time a unicorn, leprechaun or GWS fan speak harshly about SOS just tell them to look at GC.
You dont think he will come under scrutiny if 2017 is a poor season?....
