<don'tfeedthetroll.jpg>God i must come across as some arrogant pig.
Preseason this year; i spoke about who we had picked up. The Scudds boys and Pendleton from QLD (which came out of the blue). We got Sam Thomas back from centrals, a club junior. He was injured most of the year. Hardly "big name" players. That's 5 guys. I would have thought that to be a pretty standard influx for most clubs.
We don't throw the sort of cash around like some clubs. Recruiting is an area our club needs to improve. I don't think we have ever landed a 'big name' recruit.
I think everyone get's a little bit excited in February and March. No real footy for 6months, trial games around the corner, jumping out of your skin to play and the year ahead is full of optimism. I'm sorry (i think) for being like everyone else.
This is a whole forum dedicated to the SAAFL. If we didn't actually talk about the coming's and going's, the new coaches, preseason predictions....should we just put a blanket lock on the site until round 1?
