You're not happy. Well that's a surprise.
What did SOS do (or not do) last night that has you off-side, and why?
Why would it appear somebody hurt mine? Lol

2016 - Deep draft ----77 picks
2017 - Shallow draft - 78 picks.........Makes sense?
I'd say we walked into this draft knowing we'd take every player at our disposal. No mystery at all.

Deep vs shallow is about quality.
Clubs still have list spots to fill

It fills me with confidence that even though there was a perceived “slider” in LDU, we stuck to our guns and took the player whom we all believe was our number 1 (or 2 in case of Rayner) target. Didn’t even ask for the 2 minute extension, we got our man and were certain he was the player. The kid knew he was a blue earlier on in the day.
Carlton and North recruiters are in a similar position at the moment; can’t afford their top picks to be busts and need to hit late/rookie picks to speed up their respective rebuilds. Time will tell which of our recruiting teams is successful (if any).
I honestly can't see either Dow or LDU being a bust.

Yes, but you have to consider that if you feel you may not be getting anything better, you may be more likely to sit on what you have.
It's an odd result to me.

Rookie
I agree totally. Keep in mind however if I am not mistaken clubs have to take a min of 3 picks into draft, which is 18 x 3 = 54.
Then another 20 picks on top isn’t really that much between 18 clubs when rookie upgrades and alike are included. Number taken would always have to be at least in the 70’s roughly I suspect.
Keep in mind I am speaking out of turn and literally know nothing about drafting.

Clubs don't have to take three players at the draft. They just have to make at least three list changes and that could be by way of trading.
e.g. Adelaide only picked 2 players in the draft.
Thought I'd catch up on a couple of clubs trading through their threads and the Eagles thread is a beauty.
There should be an annual 'melt' thread and if there was one this year, I reckon that thread would go close.
No, 3 by draft.
But one of those can be a rookie upgrade, which isn't actually in the draft
(ie Adelaide)
Think it was clear cut and without hesitation, wanted Dow and selected him
If i were you, I would be pondering why your club didn't select Cerra
Because LDU.
We need a fast, dynamic mid and LDU easily fills that brief. As does Dow. They went 3 and 4 and will forever be compared.
Well if you wanted fast and dynamic, you should have gone Clark, if it was just dynamic, Cerra would be that player
And the same comparison will made with LDU and Cerra, they went 4 and 5
Cerra has his fans and is a top prospect. And yes of course he will be compared to hide that went before him. And the rumours were that SOS loved him. In the end he chose Dow. Which I guess further highlights my original point that pick 3 will say a lot about SOS as a recruiter.
As will the critics regarding LDU
One swallow doesn't make a summer.
While there will be comparisons between Dow and LDU (both of whom I think will be good), Silvagni's draft and recruiting record already holds up well.
2015: Weitering, McKay, C. Curnow, Cuningham and Silvagni
2016: Petrevski-Seton, Fisher, MacReadie, Polson, Williamson, Kerr
Of the above, all but one have played at senior level, and Kerr is highly likely to debut next season. Importantly, all of them look to be long term players and each shows high standards in disposal, decision making and attitude.
Silvagni's legacy won't be determined about choosing between two players, but by the overall quality that gets on the park, and on that score the signs are looking very good.

Then there's his trade period legacy...
You should just be happy that a highly rated player dropped to North apposed to going on an opposition board and trying to start a pissung contest about LDU being better than Dow .....

Sorry to all , after the draft I posted I was a bit flat. I have a connection to a top 10 kid who was drafted. Who is friends with sos and in the know. LDU was never really rated by Sos seen a few games where he got nowhere near the sherrin.Dow was always our choice then Cerra 100% . I mentioned Dekoning he was excited by this choice reckons he could be anything. I mentioned constable who I wanted, he said no way ,way to slow only has 1 gear. I wanted fogerty with 10 and he said everybody knew he wanted to stay in SA. Also rated obrien in his top 5 picks absolute gun .
