i am pretty sure we could apply that theory to BigFooty and lift the output in here!
Reduce the output but increase the quality?
Output isn't everything.
 
That presumes that someone’s contribution would be zero at worst.

I’m not a footy player, but in my own professional experience there are definitely people whose contribution is ‘net negative’ … ie: getting rid of them improves output.
I'm sure there's plenty who would be a positive but I understand what you mean. We don't need another (insert name here who has been hopeless as I don't want to start something) running around.

That’s OK.

You can call me out.

I can take it.

If Collingwood picked me up in the mid-season draft they would definitely be going backwards.

Beer and Pie sales would skyrocket if they picked me up, even 30 years ago in my prime.

Correct.

If the Crows don’t take Carmichael I could see a chance he could slide to us given some other teams looking to fill specific holes eg Hawks ruckman

A ruck seems to be a popular target in the MSD on the Adelaide board. I hope that pans out.

I'm not surprised hawks are looking at a ruck. But one thats 29? Guess they are going for immediate experience over long term
 
The only way I think it would be okay for us to put someone on our list for just the rest of the season would be if we took Michael Hartley. That would be a reasonable move since he's already at the club, and I presume he'd be prepared to accept such an offer. I don't think there's any way we should/would be bringing in any other player (potentially from another state) for just 6 months. I think it's more likely we'll take just the one player, with Roughead's retirement meaning he'll be permanently gone from the list at the end of the season. List spots should be very tight at the end of the year, with not that many players likely to be moving on, and if we took two players mid-season it would limit what we can do post-season.

Our coach said this in the press conference after yesterday's game, seemingly suggesting we are no certainty to take anyone:

I’d rather pick someone who’s not at the club because that atleast strengthens the VFL side.
 
Nope.
But they should introduce it though
There are complexities in trading in the mid season draft. Not everyone is eligible, and even if you have spots, there are questions on use and you can create a pick artificially- and that could even be a first pick.
Messy.
