An uninjured first rounder is a killer pick up and a really silly 'give up'. You simply have to let top picks develop. They mostly do if the nurturing's right.Stillwaiting wrote:And to think, Eade did not want him, thanks for sending him our way Rodney
"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!'

Agree, but it didn't work out that way with Fiora.Thinline wrote:An uninjured first rounder is a killer pick up and a really silly 'give up'. You simply have to let top picks develop.

The Saints have copped a bit on here for their trading so fair enough to give them a pat on the back for this one.

If I remember correctly he came with a rep of being soft, I have seen none of that.Thinline wrote:I did say mostly.Dr Spaceman wrote:Agree, but it didn't work out that way with Fiora.Thinline wrote:An uninjured first rounder is a killer pick up and a really silly 'give up'.

But you do have to let players mature, even first rounders. Something we did and Melbourne are doing now.
I love this club
Agreed. He is not a world beater and I doubt that he will have picked up any Brownlow votes.... but he is consistently in our top 10 players, week in, week out.... along with the likes of Blake, Baker, Gwilt etc. provides the solid core of performers so that the cream of our elite players (Dal/Joey/BJ/Lenny) can rise above....stkfc1 wrote:The guys is a machine. Just keeps presenting. Great mark.
Cool under pressure. 9/10 makes right decision.
Mancrush.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...
I remember hearing the leadership group took him aside when he came to the club and said something like 'you have a reputation for being weak overhead, and you'll have to earn our respect if you want it.'
Since then he's turned himself into one of the strongest marks for his size in the comp. I couldn't be more of a fan.
