Tempting to brag and say I called this a couple of years back... except that it was I... and
anyone else who looked at their list (Micky Meltdown aside, it seems
)... too easy.
All those very high draft picks, and for what?
No key forwards except for the ageing and always injured, always suspended Waite.
Yet, gave away the one young key forward they had,
so as to tie-up their salary cap paying the prat's 'ambassador' to do one hastily arranged photo shoot with Juliar.
With where their list was at that time, IMHO they clearly got Judd in to
o early. (I note with great satisfaction that we are showing no signs of making such a 'timing' error.
) But best of all, he's slowing down markedly, but he's still there, tying-up their salary cap... Chris Judd, the gift that keeps on giving...
So no key forwards... and only marginally better off re key defenders.
On ballers... nearly all are classic downhill skiers.
No 1 draft picks... sure, Krusier is no Josh Fraser, but still, you'd really want a way better player for your No 1 draft pick. Besides, where does he
actually play?
IMHO, not strong enough for first ruck, not agile enough to play key forward... a (very) poor man's Kosi, sans the pack marking.
And then there's Bryce Gibbs. (Thank gawd for Jack Watts...
) But Carlscum could just get lucky here. Isn't he up for free agency, and aren't the Crones (gawdknowswhy?) supposed to be very interested? Can anyone confirm...?
