Putting the coaching position aside - as we all have firm positions on that issue - there are two factors which have ruined our chances of success imo.

1. The disastrous throwing away of highly prized draft picks on Scharenberg, Freeman and effectively Aish. We should have set ourselves up with two gun players, like we did the year we drafted Pendles and Daisy.


Whilst I agree with most of what you say, and what you've posted on this site over the last 10 years that I've been perusing it, you're focus on, and obsession with Berg and Freeman is erratic.

They were both highly regarded and no one at the time questioned their respective draft positions, injuries alone have crueled them and us as a team. I'm sure most recruiters thought they were the equivalent of Pendles and Daisy in some way.

Anyway, pls excuse my spelling and grammar. Been a while since I've been on the forum and typing in here is hard.


Fair point Tanuki. My obsession with Scharenberg and (to a lesser extent) Freeman, is simply born out of frustration. I'm just mad that we blew our chance to set our team up for success. Of course you are correct that it was just bad luck after all. But I also get frustrated when fans keep calling for Schaz to get a game, as if he has been ripping it up in the VFL. Due to his injuries, he's been very ordinary. If he ever becomes that great player we thought we'd drafted, then I'll eat humble pie and admit I was wrong. Unfortunately, I just can't see it ever happening.
