Form a List point of view, what is better? (Hypotheticals)
Houston for 1st and 2nd round pick and $800k over 5 years
or
Pick 10 in draft
Trade 2nd round pick for say Garcia and get picks back
Extra money in SC for FA next year
Not having to trade/move as many picks for Campo twins
*Haynes will be done regardless
The length of contract isnāt a concern, if the LM decide its ok then Iām happy.
Houston is a known quantity, has over 160 games of evidence to go off, knows the coach, has friends at the club.
Pick 10 has never played AFL football, going off averages has roughly a 40-50% chance of not making the grade at all and if they do, its unclear of how long until they do.
If you can get Garcia for a 2nd with picks back, we can do that even if Houston comes.
We could get Houston imo for our 1st rounder this year and maybe something small extra, we get Haynes, we then have the opportunity to trade back in to the first round or early second to add more youth, we then take the two twins.
We would have addressed defensive needs, we would have improved our best 18 for the short and medium term and we havenāt neglected youth.
