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?
