McKernan is a ROOKIE and is on the list as a backup to a small ruck stocks. Nothing at all wrong with that selection.Cooney still has some good games left, perhaps.
Gwilt could not get a game at St Kilda
McKernan could not get a game at Adelaide
Giles could not get a game at GWS.
Three absolute spuds !
Let other Clubs recruit Brenton Payne and Tom Field, both have strong Bomber heritage. While Laverde, Langford and Long could be good, disappointed with the rest.
Giles is a young developing ruckman in a side that didn't need him, hardly fair to say he is a spud..
Gwilt was selected under FA because we had limited draft picks and needed to use those on non-backman roles. It was a smart idea to cover us as depth until we are back with full draft picks.
Strategically the Dons have done well this year while you are simply over-reacting without thinking.
GAGF
Facts are that those three spuds are now on our list and could not get games with teams lower down on the food scale than us. What the fark is strategic about recruiting guys who have not been good enough elsewhere. I would rather go for an 18 year old like Brenton Payne who is as athletic and bigger than Gwilt and see if he can develop along side Fletcher, than Gwilt who is past it.
And McKernan is a thug as well, and his lazy ■■■■ brother played for Norf which should ban him from being selected by the Dons !
By your logic Hawthorn shouldn't have picked up Gibson, Hale, Lake or Burgoyne
Sydney shouldn't have picked up Richards, Kennedy or McGlynn, Rhyce Shaw or Barry Hall as all of their clubs were lower at that point than Sydney were.
Sometimes guys are worth more to one club than another, and that has nothing to do with where they're placed on the ladder.
Hilarious tanty though.
