Busslinger….who tf is Rhett Bazzo?
Most others have extremely good players or superstars associated and the Buzz gets a no name

Who would you be selecting at pick 15 though? Sydney are clearly flagging what common sense was telling us leading into the combine: you're looking at a top 5-6, then a group down to about 14, then you're in more of a niche/riskier pool until the end of the second round.
We'll never see another draft as bad as 2004, but this would be the modern equivalent, particularly after pick 30.

you've been posting long enough on here to know - everyone fancies bling and whatever bling is drafted is gunna be great bling blingy blingy bling
and then mostly in the past it has lost its blingy shine in a year or so and people argue over the merits of the bling and the potential of the bling or what the club should do with the bling or whether to shuffle the bling around in order to extract the potential of teh bling or sack teh coach because he cant extract the true potential of the bling(s)
and then the bling gets you a charity late third-rounder which you don't even use in the draft ....and it all goes very quiet ..until the next round of bling raffle time comes along...
the fact of the matter is - the draft is a lottery and kids either have the requisite will power to fight through the developmental and experiential reality of professional football and roll with the inevitable kicks in the guts - or not. Most don't.
yeah lets give up earlier picks for more blingy picks down the order ...more bling the better cant have enough bling.

We need an F3 to be able to do the trade. Maybe we throw you back a 3rd or 4th this year.

Reckon Hewett will still be on the board.

You'd want to make top 4 next year just to somewhat draw even. Pick 14 this year could move out to 16. And next years draft is perceived to be much better.
A trade like this could come back to bite a club if they don't make the 8 next year.
If the Swans are keen to trade, they have shown their hand first.
I completely subscribe ABOD to your sentiments. The massive issue I have (and subsequent little contribution) is we are beholden to chance. Yes analysis prob weeds out the outliers but for a Cripps that was too fat and slow and a Hird at mid 60's, a Dow at 3, a Chad Warner at 39. We can only hit and hope. A draft crop is exciting. Here's just hoping two of the 4 come on in a big way. Everyone is an expert till it f*cks up.
I think Sydney are interested in trading but I don't think Sydney would have approached a specific club with a specific trade proposal. The club basically said "we are open to trading picks 14 and 17, come at us with your best offer" to all the other clubs and wait and see how many clubs approach and what offers they are willing to make.
I don't think Sydney are calling specific clubs and trying to propose trade deals, but then again I could be wrong.

What an impressive young man!
Why would we give up a more valuable pick for similar the year earlier. You’re the buyer. Buying high for that matter into a stronger draft. And our pick could be anywhere from 4-18 depending on injury.
You gotta wait 12 months longer for it though, so evens it up a bit where you can get a season of senior experience and game plan into them
I wouldn’t mind getting some of Sydney’s 2023 picks, they were mauled in the GF and those scars could stick for sometime

Nice number 1.
Clark as your highest rated is predicted to go 6-8, if he’s there at 8, what would you offer to get up the extra 2-3 spots to get him?

Assuming we take Hollands with our first, I would take either Allan or Hotton with that second pick.
And yet there are other clubs looking to trade into that range.
What does that say about your “common sense”?
That’s fine, we’re looking at multiple picks within that range.
The pick number moving out is completely irrelevant unless you think we’re a genuine chance at getting of the F/S players.
Any pick exchange can come back to bite a club.
If we nail the pick it’s just about irrelevant.
Yep, and there’s no reason why both clubs couldn’t benefit from this.

How often do we hear that next years draft is better than this years draft, and how often does that actually eventuate?
You’re talking as though there won’t be any good players in this draft class, which is absurd given how glowing you’ve been in your praise of certain prospects.

No way. Best case our future first ends up at 15-16, which becomes a wash if next year's draft is better. Worst case it's a top 10 pick in a better draft and we have ****ed up badly again. As George W Bush would say, fool me once, shame on... ... Won't get fooled again!

Best case is we get the player we want and he turns out to be a gun.
It’s bizarre people continually overlook that.

You're right, that's the "best" case.

You'd want to be pretty sure on the player to take your trade risk though. This is my point. Last time when we traded down what should have been pick 3 the following year to get Stocker was a shocking outcome in hindsight.
