Does the fact that Michael Knoll was not drafted by any AFL club in the off season mean that South Adelaide’s recruiting department is better than all of the AFL? A cash strapped SANFL club had a better eye for talent than the 18 “loaded with money and resources” teams. Makes you wonder who the real professionals are...
Feel free to tell me I’m wrong because I might still just be a bit bitter about this
I'm afraid the lesson learner from all this is the SANFL clubs should not recruit anybody who's too good. In years gone by they could at least plan a premiership strategy around the group they had leftover after all the corporates had their share. But this, midseason plundering, means you don't want that next best player.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
