Brock's requested wages vs ellard.
Don't anyone tell me that Brock would have played for even close to similar dollars as ellard and before I hear daisy's name, it's becoming more apparent to me that we had a bunch of hired guns leave us, for not remarkable differences and we're setting the wrong standards.
Daisy might not have earned his wage but no one can tell me he hasn't tried to.
Remember that Brock had agreed to terms with the club before he went overseas. It wasn't dollars that cost him his spot, it was creating a place on the list for Jason Tutt :

In a McLean vs ellard discussion that doesn't matter.

It does when you intimate that Davey Ellard was preferred over Brock because the latter was on more coin. The fact that the club had agreed to terms with Brock suggests that money wasn't an issue.
Anyway, why is this an issue in the post game thread?

Do you remember before we recruited Tutt one of the assessments by those in charge was that we had too many introverts, so their answer to that problem was to recruit a mouse!

i was over from Perth for Work and stayed to head to the G.
Imagine being 18 years old and as good as Footy as SPS is. I have seen 2 perfromances live that have stuck with me. One was Chris Judd playing against us at Subiaco and SPS on Saturday. A star was born today.
But he does the little things as well. Harasses on the marks, makes a mistake and attacks the next contest to make Amends, always trying to hi five hi teammates and dap them.
My Word... I cannot state the game that kid had.

Yep, it's why I think MiniJudd is such a great nickname for this kid!

I remember a few years ago when we decided that due to our repeated draft busts we needed players of a certain age range, so we recruited them whether they could play or not, Tutt was probably one of them.
It's been a comedy of errors which is why I'm struggling to believe that we might finally be getting it right.
