Certainly add's weight to that argument, even if PA eventually go down tonight.

Agree they are impressive three but the point is they haven't just done it via draft.... they have also reinvigorated their list using trade too... Motlop Rockliff Dixon burton to name a few

Not as well as Port obviously, but that doesn't mean we should stop doing it.
Not well to date but hopefully this year we can! Plus the draft picks this could be us in a year or two

Agreed, it's down the track.
They hit a few though when they took Motlop and Rockliff and had a couple of fails too. Burton was daylight robbery for them. Came though at a time they knew they had to purge their list which was rejuvenated with some really good quality kids.
Saints did it as well to a degree, some real good kids coming in towards the bottom to compliment other decent youth, hit FA and trade and finals are on. If we can get three picks in the first round it's a long way to fast tracking.

Once we are seen as a club that is going places, it will be easier to attract quality via trade/FA.
Putting together a really strong group of kids that is respected across the competition will help.

Hello Geelong.... sorry, i meant two firsties for Higgins.
It has to be a mixture. One could easily argue that Rockliff, Motlop, Dixon and Lycett have been more important. Boak and Gray handy as well.
Higgins just become a bit more desirable if you are Geelong.
First Rounder or **** off!

Poor pussys. Danger must be shattered.
Doesn’t look like Dangerflog is getting a flag this year unless Brisbane do them a favour tomorrow and win.
They will be desperate to try and jag one with an ageing list, so time to play hardball!
Think the point is Souup, it makes no sense for us to help Geelong and get him there for cheap. He’s worth more to us from a leadership perspective, then letting him walk for peanuts.
If they want him bad enough, they can pay up. If not, he stays.
It depends on how desperate they are to try and win a flag. Dangerflog, Porkins and Duckwood are getting any younger, so they are running out of time.
Higgins in that side tonight makes a difference.
Higgo would have more chance of playing in a Premiership with us than with Geelong...he may as well stick around.
The talk (admittedly could be bs) is that if any of our senior guys who only have a couple of years left want to leave then we're not going to stand in their way.
I don't care who you are - no one is ever paying a 1st rounder for a 32 year old.

Add brown as their forward line is crap.

They are all tough as nails (bar Motlop)
They have bulls in the middle like Boak, Wines, pepper etc tackling machines. They pressured first and then scored second

God I love to watch geelong lose, I had money on them to win and I think I'm still happier they ate dirt.

Add Polec and we’ll take all their ****ing picks for 2 years.

If it is true that we've burnt bridges with Polec, I'd offer him for one of Geelong's firsts. Gives them something for now and the next few years.
