As I see it, I think Tre is in a tough position, in that his major player acquisitions and coaching choices did not work out as planned.

I think the first bad move started with giving up too much for Hamilton. In spite of his size and ability to score, IMO he really lacks the rugged shutdown skills we need. Also IMO because he has to play with Gio, we have sacrificed Brodie. He also didn't come cheap and takes bad penalties.

Next acquiring Brouwer needs no explanation.

Thirdly using similar tactics we gave up too much to acquire Hamonic.

As far as Tre's coaching choices, the results speak for themselves.

Now we have a critical shortage of draft picks. The only positive thing I can see for the future is we have some excellent prospects...hopefully we don' t compound our problems by trading them away.
