Probably cost us three premierships already!
Butterss wanted Judd, Thomas wanted Ball!
Thomas had the final say, but I blame Butterss for allowing Thomas to be in such a position to begin with!
They set us up for a decade of sustained failure!
The single biggest draft bonanza in AFL history and still no premiership!
Even Hawthorn, four years after their mini draft bonanza won a flag!
Our list has never been as good as what is was in 2004/2005, we had the premiership list, the envy of all and pissed it all up against wall!
Now we have a great coach but not enough cattle to quite get the job done!
Our list is nowhere as good as what it was in 2004/2005!
Not selecting Judd has cost us big time!
Too much left to too few, Lenny, Goddard and Riewoldt carry this football team!
Throw in Judd and abracadabra we'd probably have three premierships already!
Even recently not taking Jack Riewoldt instead of Armitage is another blunder which is already costing us!
Absolutely shattered, the biggest draft bonanza in history and still no premiership to show for it TEN YEARS on!
This trade period coming up is the most important for a long time because unless we pull some rabbits out of the hat we'll be sliding faster than Mel Gibson!
Should have taken Judd instead of Ball!

Apropos of not much my money would be on Ball to finish his career with more premiershops than Judd!! It's funny how things turn out.
BTW, with the full benefit of hindsight, of course we should have taken Judd. But they both seemed fairly equally blessed with talent back in 2001, and Judd seemed to be the more injury-prone of the two.

Both, as it happened, would have left to get where they wanted to go. So what's your point?
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Seriously Barks, how many times are you going to raise this? I know it, you know it, you have posted it maybe 20 times. Not much point being a Harry Hindsight.
Why not focus on the wins? Gwilt at 70+, Fisher at 50+ etc
Or focus on the future and how we can get it done. Luke Miles - now there is a win don't you think? Can't remember where we got him, but that guy is going to be a real quality player for us.
Do yourself a favour and stop tormenting yourself (and us).

what jumper style he thought we should have

Given that I'm usually always right, they'd be fools not to listen!
