I never wanted to trade the future 1st. But when gerryn and Clarke were near our pick I would have tried to trade up (probably gws at 36) say with a future 2nd or swaps to get one.
I don't know if the dogs traded back in specifically at 51 because they thought we would take Davidson at 52 but he was predicted in that range so given a few 40s picks were traded I feel we should have anticipated it and traded up to grab him.
I'm not disappointed in our picks but I think we could have maximised it more.

With today I would assume we take some mature ruck backup and I'm guessing either someone from our vfl team like Herbert or a mature ager like henderson. No idea on the 3rd pick.

Maybe. Hard to know with knowing the details but I think they showed that they only do deals when it suits us … so we might have been able to move up but at what cost?
 
Again, the mid is Bailey Smith, and development from Holmes, Bruhn, Clark etc.

If we're relying on a kid picked in the rookie draft to fix that in 2025 over those guys then we're more f***ed than I thought.
I'm not talking the Inside/Outside gun mid... I'm talking just even an outside mid that can rack it up and get into the general play, they can slip to anywhere in the draft.

Pike is interesting. Him molier Edwards Conway is a lot of young rucks without any of them being ready for next year (which is what we actually need) but I think this one is more about getting in early. If he had more good vfl games like last year he would have been an early pick in MSD next year so this is about getting in ahead of that. And I think he will be possibly the best of all our ruck/fwds long term so I like it.

We do seem to have a lot of young ruckmen now. I'm surprised we took both Molier and Pike.

Round 1 in the VFL will be interesting if everyone is fit
