Ifs and buts…. Whats done is done. Whether you’re inside the club or not.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but most people would be taking the ready made player for a shot at back to back to fill a gap rather than wait a year.

What people fail to appreciate is that everyone’s a genius in hindsight.
Did anyone really believe Collingwood would finish out of the top 4 this year?

The trouble with the Schultz trade is this;
He is slow, not skilled and lacks awareness.
These must have been apparent when the recruiters were looking at him.
Most Nixsters would not be very familiar with LS before this year.
I certainly wasn't.
His 2 good traits of giving his all and a fine tackler are not enough to give him a gold star.
This obvious lack of overall talent must have stood out like dogs balls.
He may and I say may have been worth a second round pick only.
So for those who say hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I say the recruiters and the club were incompetent when they paid that much for him.
Most Nixsters could see this in 2024 after viewing LS.
Why didn't the recruiters or Club see this.
