Be interesting to see how Cox goes tomorrow.
I have a feeling McDonald might go alright down back and it might free up Cox to play as swingman longer term.
Might take the pressure off throwing the kitchen sink for McDonald and either allow us to have a good crack at Warner or hit the draft up...
Whilst I take your point keep in mind Ross walked into a team and inherited Pavlich, Sandilands, McPharlin, Mundy, Johnson, Barlow etc.
as well as our best young crop of players in the clubs history at that time.

Just my two cents.
From listening to those who have worked with JL over the years it sounds as though he has a very strong technical understanding of the game and a clear vision on how we should play.
However it appears to me as though there may be issues for the players implementing JL’s...
You're right, we should just get them to buy Josh Treacy for Baker and their pick #6 after feeding him the ball all year so he kicks 40-50 goals.
Seriously.
Yeah or we just keep our future first and Treacy and let West Coast throw away picks for Baker 🤷♂️

Do we actually need Warner.
Obviously I’d take him at the right price - I’m quite bullish on our young midfield depth though
All these talks of bringing in marquee players but our history shows we perform better when we cultivate our own talent and use trades to top up the team.

Johnson and Erasmus are good enough for the now.
But Treacy has not justified selection based upon current performance. He is picked because of the player we are trying to develop him into.

Yeah I like Voss too, I do think he will come via Peel as you suggest
On Tabs vs Treacy: The stats support that Tabs is the better of the two right now, and I think he would have a bigger impact on the game this weekend.
Fairly certain Jlo will go with Treacy though

I’m too worn from old battle scars.
I think the core group of players we have will be around for a fair while.
Personally I feel we can wait 2 years and for this years draftees to become good players.

Good point sir!
I think we traded 63 for Kersten right?
So we could still have had Ryan, Cox, Mcluccage but no Darcy or Kersten

I’m not against trading generally, but I’d want to very very sure that McDonald was going to be a star long term before parting with top picks for him. I don’t think his current output is worth the risk it would cost to get him.
There’s no debating generally the trade table has cost us dearly...
I’m sure it is,
Trading away picks rarely works (think Jackson may prove an exception to this).
It’s easy with hindsight but our 2018 off-season is one of the worst in AFL history.

Hopefully the club have learned lessons from 2018 and stick to the draft.
Our core group of players is under 25 and majority of these players should be available for the next decade or so.
Imo we still have the time to go hard at the draft for the next year or two and can afford to wait for...
