I know most of us are burning about missing out on Galvin.
However (I know I'm just trying to cope with the loss) I was thinking about some of the young can't miss half prospects who fizzled out and it reminded me that there was no guarantee that he was going to work for us.
some of the halves that came to mind that were highly touted and didn't live up to the hype
1. Ash Taylor
2. Brodie Croft
3. Tim Smith
4. Kieren Foran (once he came to us)
5. Chris Sandow
6. Kane Elgy
7. Lachlan Ilias
8. Daniel Mortimer
I'm sure there are more but I'm trying to look at the bright side and hope to death the kid doesn't become the next Joey Johns

I honestly don't understand all the hype about Galvin 🤔 He just seems average to me and nothing special. Longi is super compared to Galvin as will be Papalli. His decision to go to the Bulldogs is a wrong choice and he will regret it.
You just look at the Blaize situation. I personally was devastated when he signed with the panthers. 8 months down the track Longi who was 2nd fiddle at the panthers ends up a much better result for us. You just never no the same might happen with joash. Another player that couldn't crack the full time in his previous club but definitely has the talent.
He would need a lot of work in defence and probably put a little more size but not to much it hurts his Athletic ability and speed. Then there is Lorenzo talataina who I haven't seen much of bar highlights, he looks and what iv read/heard be a great talent at 5/8, Apparently can defend well for a 5/8.
Tbh, the Dogs can have him. He's a disrupting little upstart that hasn't proven a thing and, in my view, will disrupt the Dogs momentum. I think we've dodged a bullet.
Let's grab Sandon Smith whilst our kids develop.
I was so impressed with our performance on Friday, I really think we're heading in the right direction.
