I am sick and tired from all the flogs in the media and supporters giving it to our great club about us getting Tippo and Buddy.
Do these muppets have any idea how many recycled and rookie draft players we have in our best 22 at the moment? How many top 10 draft picks we haven't had the last 10 years and how we have built our list?
From the game against Essendon on friday night.
Jeremy Laidler (Delisted Rookie pick), Ted Richards (Traded) , Nick Smith (Rookie pick)
Rhyce Shaw (Traded), Heath Grundy (Rookie pick), Nick Malceski (Pick 64)
Kieren Jack (Rookie pick), Harry Cunningham (Rookie pick), Dane Rampe (Rookie pick)
Lewis Jetta (Pick 14), Kurt Tippett (Free Agent), Jake Lloyd (Rookie Pick)
Adam Goodes (Pick 38), Lance Franklin (Free Agent), Luke Parker (Pick 40)
Tom Derickx (Rookie Pick), Josh Kennedy (Traded), Jarrad McVeigh (Pick 5)
Dan Hannebery (Pick 30), Craig Bird (Rookie Pick), Sam Reid (Pick 38)
SUB Brandon Jack (Rookie Pick)
So 9 of our best 22 were rookie picks, 3 of our best 22 trades, and the rest either free agents or top 30-60 draft picks, Jetta, Buddy and Macca aside.
Granted we have had the COLA which has helped us bring in some big fish, but no other club would have had the bollocks to bring in a footballer on a 9 year deal and make the big calls which could pay off. No risk, no reward. About time we were given more credit in the media for how our side has been built regardless of Buddy and Tippett. Mugs in the media have short memories. GO THE BLOODS.
