What should the club do about it now?

I love how these folks seem to be experts at identifying “good families”

Goes to Private school is more important

9291

Announce that he will finish with the club at end of season would be a start

Yet they took Stengle and went after Stringer at the time. I call bullshit.

9293

They should do away with typical draft profiles and just profile the families of each prospect.

There’s always a ‘what about’ scenario with assessing every club’s list strategy. There is always an exception to the rule, in special circumstances

Stengle was a player they needed. It doesn’t mean Mooney is wrong in his assessment, as 99% of the time that’s what they look for.

What small forward did they overlook for Stengle?

Two things are relevant here. First, he was talking about draftees. Second, there’s a word missing from his actual quote in the pictured quote.

“If they’re a good person and come from a good family, yet the other player might be a little better player but unstable – we’ll always go with the good family - and Sydney do the same too.”

That’s quite different, I think.

what the hell would Cam Mooney know about recruiting? Isn’t his job being a professional clown on that puerile TV show after the footy ends (or is he better known as Tommy Bellchambers punching bag?)

Probably not much. He was talking about what he got told by Stephen Wells when he asked about how they picked draftees.

How "unstable " can a draftee be at 17/18?

Who was the kid Hawthorn drafted (that people here were foaming at the mouth for us to draft) who was off their list within half a season and in prison not long after?

That’s pretty unstable.

I would read that as including the “good family” part, and there’s really no limit to how unstable and screwed up a 17/18 year old’s family can be.

9301

Mitch Thorp?

9302

Dayle Garlett.

Nah… don’t think he had issues with the law… he just wasn’t good enough.

Garlett was the one I was thinking of.

9304

Also, I’d guess “good person” in this context mostly means “passes my gut test about a personality that will work in the AFL”.

9305

Remember that time Dudoro gave 2 first round picks for Dylan Sheil?
