I feel like we are collectively working through the 5 stages of poor recruiting grief around here.
1. Denial. “What the *smile* are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with our kids.”
2. Anger. “*smile* you”.
3. Bargaining. “*smile* it, just take our three best players for that second rounder, please…”
4. Depression. “We are *smile*”.
5. Acceptance. “Okay, what the *smile* do we do then?”

This is cooked. You’re talking about 30 disposals in the AFL as if it’s as easy as just lacing the boots on.
It’s a seriously tough league - you earn every single touch you get. Expecting young blokes who are adjusting to the pace and physicality of the game to just turn up and get 30+, that’s laughable. Some expectation management is in order here!

Soligo, Warner, Holmes, Sharp, Rivers all have had 30 disposals or more in a match. All were available at our draft selections over the last 4-5 years too.
It can be done, just not by our draftees it seems.
Amazing that Dow and Ralphsmith haven’t cracked that mark yet, considering the midfield exposure and game time they’ve had.
I've accepted that most of our kids are either undersized, under paced, somewhat soft or all of the above.
Aside from McAuliffe.
I can tell you what the finding will be. No early draft picks = no gun players.
and maybe the GCS recruiter says 'I need to be better', resigns to spend more time with family, and gets a $1m payout from the AFL's save the little children fund?
