Re: Recruiting
I think we have recruited a few but ‘game planned’ their talent out of them.
Just look at the under 18 highlights of a few our draft picks.
Could play. Now struggling.

Re: Recruiting
Think we tried that with Milera, Saad and Lee. All now gone and retired from AFL.
I think the Saints need to go for a ready made player or two around the 23-25 year old mark next year. They come cheap anyway but lets still draft the best 18 year old kids with our first 3 picks.

Re: Recruiting
Is it poor recruiting, poor development or a combo?
As woeful as Billings & Gresh are atm, would they be stars playing in a better team?

Well that’s it IMO...SydneySainter wrote:Is it poor recruiting, poor development or a combo?

I think our recruiters are a super easy target when the reality is that we’ve recruited a plethora of players that have started really really well and completely stalled in their development.
Saad, Milera, Lee, Siposs, Billings, Gresh, DMac, Lonie, Newnes, Webster... on and on it goes.
One can’t imagine someone that can pick that wrong so consistently.

Maybe we could start to improve by putting together a recruitment team and a development team.

"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."

FTFY - I do not think the recruitment is the problem - I think it is the shackles we put on the kids once they don the RW&B.ace wrote:Maybe we could start to improve by putting together ....... a development team.
The guys who we need to step up - would be tearing it up elsewhere - and this will be proven when they elect to go elsewhere.

I cant remember either, but D for devils sounds right and I think it was ice hockey.
Better resort to googling the details.

Well done re the D for devils.darylcowie wrote:I cant remember either, but D for devils sounds right and I think it was ice hockey.

I'll give you 1.5/3 for that.
It was the New Jersey Devils and it was ice hockey.
As for the Saints I thinl we should all get to the game on Saturday wearing a painted A on our chests (the A is definitely not for Alan or maybe it is come to think of it!).
