Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
We have the makings of an excellent side, but we still need to nail the #9 this year. We were very unlucky not to beat the Demons in Alice Springs last year, and we beat the Dogs in a final last season too, but a top ten pick is something we need to get 100% right.CURLY wrote: ↑Sat 25 Sep 2021 10:47pmOf course we do.samuraisaint wrote: ↑Sat 25 Sep 2021 10:44pm We really need to nail this #9 draft pick this year don't we?

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
I honestly wonder what Trout must think when watches Patracca play. He is embarrassed? Does he actually realise what he’s done or does he tell himself that he didn’t have a crystal ball and that he made the right decision at the time?

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
Well, I don't have a crystal ball but I can tell you he's going to win a Norm Smith. 40 possessions in a Grand Final his team wins by 13 goals.

Lot of first rounders running around for Melbourne.

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
Not even Daniel Andrew’s could spin enough bull s*** to explain it. Was a shocking decision at the time - now it’s an all time great stuff up.

There were some who actually criticised the decision at the time!!!

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
I think Trout was on Melbourne's payroll. It was all part of the plan! There should be an investigation into this. Surely there was some collusion between the Trout and Melbourne.

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
It was a terrible move at the time. I remember spending the year watching Petracca highlights and salivating over him. Remember the morning of the draft on the radio they said we were going to take McCartin and I felt sick. Was in shock for weeks afterwards, felt like another grand final loss.
Having said all that, it's done. It's the past and going over it does nothing. We need to move on, as supporters, and as a club. Melbourne made plenty of horrendous decisions and now they're premiers. We don't get the flag by mulling over these things. What's done is done.
We got Max King at pick 4. Hopefully that's the one we look back on fondly.

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
I hope whoever sat next to Elshaugh tonight, watching the GF, elbowed him in the ribs and laughingly said, "You picked McCartin!", after each of his 40 possessions.
Petracca was every bit the freak everyone (except Trout) thought he'd be during tonight's GF.

Memo to club management. No more clowns in the recruiting department. No more gut-feel picks. Get professional or GTFO.

Re: Apparently he didn’t interview very well
Even better for Melbourne was that after we failed to pick Petracca we let it be known far and wide that he didn't interview well, he was arrogant, etc.
What a lack of class.
So this would have been pointed out to Petracca and he made a conscious effort to change.
