Will give a more detailed response when I have time mate. You have gone excessively hard at Austin which I do take issue with. Less so Arli with Agresta with a longer tenure.
Serious question, we struggled to attract free agents for a very long time before grabbing Williams and Hewett. I was a voiceferous anti Saad for the price, but was absolutely all for Cerra. How much control do you think new boy Austin had over those decisions?
Answer SFA. Lloyd and Liddle had the reins and were trying to placate power brokers and supporters wanting to get some mature “stars” in to play beside the myriad of kids we had.

Our current list management group has been trying to balance the list they (mostly Austin) inherited. Limited draft capital and lists of required types for the coaches. Misplaced priorities. We had no spare draft capital last period, and the majority on here wanted bloody Houston, (as did Voss) which was impossible. Austin held his ground. I have mixed feelings on the Jagga jostling exchanges and would probably have preferred two kids, the names of which are in our draft threads. Jagga wasn’t necessarily a mistake, particularly without hindsight. Make no mistake, give Voss the chance he will dull his speed in favour of contested traits. Lord has a rounded game(and was a great left field pick up) but Vossy deploys him as a defensive Plow horse, removing any offensive traits. His early pre season featured offensive running as a forward handballing link.
Is it List management’s fault Voss and team want to play a handful of lesser skilled smaller defensive role players rather than give a sniff to any offensively minded kids waiting in the wings. Moir in particular and White with more pace, who does the defensive running but can sniff a goal, as well as being a POD leftie. Evans did a couple of decent things, but such a conservative first SSP selection. Do you think Austin/Agresta had the selection? Or did they put candidates tall and small together for the coaches to select from?
