JLT Game 2

[sydneybluesfan]

For every one of the 'why didn't we get player x' there is a 'cant believe we got player y at that pick!'

Cripps was taken at pick 13.

Besides Boyd at 1, and maybe Bont at 4...every other team will be kicking themselves for missing out on him.

Jack Silvagni was pick 50+

etc

If it was 50/50 I'd be rapped, but we are miles away from that.

The numbers are appalling- in 2014 we made 13 trades & picks. 2 years later 10 are gone and the other 3 (jones, jaksch and boek) are most likely gone at year end on exposed form. So that's a likely 0% from that cohort - that is almost statistically impossible over such a short timeframe and gives you a good understanding of why we still have years of pain ahead of us.

I agree we have had some luck, especially with the rookie draft, but it doesn't go near making up for our 10 or so years of rubbish recruiting. We have used our first pick on so many soft, lazy or mentally fragile footballers it's incredible when you go through the list.
