Trading Stephenson doesn't look like an error. Getting rid of Carman, let alone bringing in Edwards and failing to land Quinlan - now that was proper stupidity 1970s Collingwod-style.

Before he went to the Swans, didnt we cockup a possible trade for Plugger, and one of our Board members vetoed it ? :o

Probably - but he was just a big slug. Carman was the loss. Quinlan was a great CHB and a solid FF, Edwards was a joke but not working harder to keep Carman (including, if necessary, sacking the entire coaching staff) was like Barcelona trading Maradona to Naples.

Yes, indeed. I had friends who were mad Saints supporters and I saw many St.Kilda games back in the day. Plugger was an absolute beast.

Plugger was a kind of John Pitura for the 90s.

Getting John Cahill as coach instead of John Kennedy was mega stupidity. Wayne Richardson not wanting Plugger because he wanted his son Mark to get the forward berth was deflating, depressing and dumb as dog shit

With Phillips and Stevenson both not getting games, our “disastrous” recruiting period from a couple of years ago doesn’t seem so bad now

^ It was never "disastrous" - we got rid of Treloar and that substantial plus outweighed anything else we did. There was a question-mark around Stephenson because he was (is) a huge talent. But he looks at the moment like he doesn't want to play football at all.

^ And Phillips was never a real loss. How anybody was worried about his leaving is still a mystery to me.

And thank you to the bastard cats for Krueger!

Stevo is an entitled twat with no balls.

I’d take either of the new guys over Treloar.

Yep, you can bet many Doggies fans not happy Lipinski has left, hes terrific, we dont miss Treloar one bit now, not one iota. :)

Stephenson 5 possessions against GWS today and kicked a point. His fall from grace has been swift, what a waste of talent. It'll take a miracle to resurrect his career from here.

I remember I was seething and sad that Treloar was booted out in the sly, lying manner that it was done. I also thought that we were losing a very talented fast, outside mid who had been played out of position.
But I agree, Patrick Lipinski has been such a fantastic addition to our team. He has significant pace, but also can go into contested situations hard. He links up brilliantly through the midfield due to his attack on the ball, and he has excellent disposal skills. He has been a vital component of the new game style that our coaches are developing. Definitely I agree, gaining Patrick Lipinski has outweighed losing Adam Treloar.

We have been very fortunate with our "steak knives": first Jack Crisp, and now Patrick Lipinski.
