Not really, your taking out a reality and replacing it with a hypothetical, IF there were no NGA's my opinion is that Green would have gone pick 2.
SOS would have had to pick a player at 9. or trade it. Not just be a tool and bid on stuff like a drunk man with a 20 dollar note.
Still not answering the question Willo.
Your entire argument is based on SOS bidding on players just to screw with other clubs.
That in turn is only true if he wouldn't have wanted those players had they been available. Otherwise, he's doing what the Academy system is designed for - bidding on players where they're valued, and allowing their affiliated club an opportunity to match the bid at a discount.
So answer the question - if it came to Pick 9, and Carlton (or Gold Coast, or Melbourne, or Hawthorn...) had both Green and Henry available, would they have passed?
