I think it's pretty clear that we've had a few bad eggs flow through the football club over the past 5-10 years that may be no fault of the club at all. Guys like Hunter, Libba & now JUH were always being drafted by the Dogs due to pre-draft ties. Stringer just seems like a flog & Smith is a highly unique case.

The issue is probably two fold. Are we struggling to identify characters during the draft process that may turn problematic during their careers? Do we have the capabilities to manage problematic characters, continue to nuture them and allow them to fulfill their best potential on the field for the betterment of the team?

I'd say we seem to be struggling with the second question.
