Name them!! Not that many! |
Yeah,,, has there been any front and square players recruited
But Hine is a genius. |

You can do your own research and you'll clearly be pleasantly surprised. |

Correct. Am sure Jackcass found a positive defence for Didak and Heath Shaw back in 2008!

| The last indigenous forward we have drafted was Kirk Ugle in 2010 (bar Kirby last year). |

Is it me or is your statement a contradiction?
The second part of your contradiction is what i agree with.
His time will come. Sooner than later. When it does i will thank hm for his efforts as the club moves forward.

Kirby as long as he stays motivated gives every indication of being the crumbing forward we desire.

100% agree. He has the skills to pay the bills. His application is what will get him there.
Blair is a hard worker with no tricks and is merely a bckstop until Kirby and Daicos build a tank that enables them to play a full game in the seniors.

I think some of you guys are like frogs in a well stuck in deep mud.
Hope you one day get out of your constant backward looking predicament.
FFS, it is what it is. Waste of time debating what should, could and would have been. If your aunty had balls, she would have been your uncle. 
I mean where does one stop? I could as easily talk about not getting John Kennedy as coach, Lockett, Quinlan, even bloody Ted Whitten among a host of others. How bloody boring to look back and sook all the time. Surely it’s much better to live for the moment and wish for the best in the future

| Bucks on Kirby in his presser today - 'Kirby is a long way away. Positive signs in the VFL but he is still learning' |

Pick just a few "utility" type players (who DID play forward in some games btw) and completely ignore the rest which totally destroyed your stupid point! You are a bloody joke dude.
