I have nothing to rate Young on, I was wondering why your would be questioning Richardsons ability to understand what the STKFC football club needs in personnel.
As for him having no record. Again I dont know, but being a coach in the system with five AFL clubs and finally becoming head coach of one would suggest he is pretty respected in football for his knowledge.
I dont think Richardson is doing a Watter which I most certainly agree with you was terrible recruiting. Maister, TDL, Lee all failures in my eyes. Maybe Lee has a chance but what a wasted pick 13 with White now out the door.
Would put my faith in Richardson and the recruiting staff as they have been pretty good the last two to three years.
Anywhoo doesn't matter what we think dragit.
cheers
Aaron Young

Re: Aaron Young
Yes 2012 Draft looks to have beena bust for us.
2012 Draft was a week one overall. However Doggies killed it with their picks! Certianly alowed the Dogs to ger an edge on all the other clubs.

Re: Aaron Young
....and Michael Gardiner, also Farren Ray was good value for pick 30 something. Zac Dawson, albeit not stellar, wasn't bad for a rookie selection.BackFromUSA wrote:I rated Lyon's recruiting of Schneider and Dempster.dragit wrote:Nice rolling eyesBunk_Moreland wrote:Nice shot at Richo's character
Probably missing the mark though with your comment about character…
Coaches wanting fringe players from their previous connections/clubs are generally a bad move IMO, but not always the case of course.
Dennis-Lane & Maister have left me cold, but get on Young if you rate him
Re: Aaron Young
Not sure Ray, Gardiner or Dawson or Peake and King for that matter had much to do with Lyon... Maybe point was missed?
Brooks had a connection with Rendell
Trusted his judgement and used pick 8 & 31 to get him

Re: Aaron Young
Fergus Watts was the worst one !! Pick 5 wasn't it based on his dad's recommendations to bring his son to the club

Pretty sure it was a bit higher than pick 5. He looked pretty good before the broken ankle.kosifantutti wrote:No it wasn'tst_Trav_ofWA wrote:Fergus Watts was the worst one !! Pick 5 wasn't it based on his dad's recommendations to bring his son to the club

Re: Aaron Young
Watts was very highly rated at Adelaide, and they were filthy to lose him when they did.
He didn't get much of a go with us and post injury we gave up on him pretty quickly and he gave up pretty quickly as well

We used our first round pick in the 2005 draft for Fergus Watts.The_Merchant wrote:Pretty sure it was a bit higher than pick 5.

Our team did OK in 2005 so the pick we used (wasted) was number 17
The AFL awarded Hawthorn a priority pick that year, number 3.
Collingwood priority pick number 2 and Carlton priority pick number 1.

Re: Aaron Young
Perhaps there may be one more player added to that trade scenario!FortiusQuoFidelius wrote:Herald Sun in reporting St Kilda is interested in Port Power's Aaron Young.
"...Port could also yet lose utility Aaron Young to St Kilda, in what could form part of a three-way deal involving Toumpas and the Dees. Young, 22, is contracted at Port next season but is open to a move. St Kilda coach Alan Richardson is believed to have a high opinion of Young, dating back to his time at Alberton as senior assistant coach to Hinkley. But Young has often been used as the sub and is eager for more senior opportunities. He has averaged 10 possessions in 42 games over the past four seasons..."
I've not seen him play but by all reports Young is hard at it and has impressed a lot of people with his skills.
Could be a reasonable pickup for a later draft pick.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it......no I don't want to read about it anymore!!!

Re: Aaron Young
We should only be recruiting players with good kicking skills from now on. If kicking is one of Aaron Young's negatives - I see it as a big negative (and so should our recruiters, if they're finally doing their job) - and I'd be hoping that the coach would be over-ruled.

Re: Aaron Young
Where would Young fit in the team? Looking at the Hawks, their strategy is obvious when recruiting- get the players you need to balance the team across all lines, which leaves you with few weaknesses, and recruit players specifically for positions, and this even more pronounced with more experienced recruits. Not much point in recruiting a bunch of similar players.

In defence they have bugger weaknesses so can do that. We have many so the more you try the more chance they will make it.
