Really not sure about the club continuously bringing back previous players that were 'serviceable' prior. Pretties up our recruiting numbers this year to a total of 6 players now with 3 of them being returning planners. Definitely hoping we recruit a few more because on 'paper' the outs look greater than the ins by a mile. Yeah yeah I know games aren't played on paper but its hardly enough to make the fans come back in the hoards.
Is any other club bringing players as regularly as the Dogs.....I know it worked for North with the Campbell brothers.
In recent times the Dogs have had
-James Boyd (3 stints at the club)
-Ben Nason (4579 stints at the club...………...is my fav though and one of the best blokes you will ever meet)
-Jacob Templeton (2-3 stints)
-Sam Hannah (2 stints)
-John Butcher (2 stints)
Screams of lazy recruiting in my opinion especially when considering only Boyd and Butcher have had extended periods of elite SANFL performance. The rest have been serviceable at best all spending time in and out of the league side.
It's not lazy recruiting, I think it's creating depth.
Don't fret though, The Club is doing EVERYTHING it can to secure some "A" Grade recruits.
We would definitely want to snag a few because elite talent is the issue not depth. Especially given how the ressies have performed in recent years.
At present the ins/outs is very ugly even before you take into account a lot of other clubs seemed to have improved their squads.
Surely by now we have secured some pending AFL draft.
well we haven't, you would know by now.......................but there's lots happening to attempt to secure some players, lots of texts & phone calls made yesterday, fingers crossed we'll get some positive news very soon.
