List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

Might’ve been a terrible draft but we had a free hit at one of the best out of it and chose to overlook him for some inexplicable reason

Also we got Grundy for junk picks, the trade would’ve proceeded regardless, we just would’ve used other junkier picks

If you think of it like that if we disregard that trade we end up with Grundy and Cleary but don't have pick #22 that we got from North for Stephens last year as we would have asked for junk picks rather than that future 1st at the time

Everyone gets up and arms about the Weddle thing it was a terrible draft go through the first round there’s probably 5 decent blokes in the first 25 picks. Yes the Hawks lucked out it happens. The trade allowed us to have the picks for Grundy

Go back over that draft, it is looking to be a decent draft especially the first 12 picks. We did badly, some players have taken a while to come along but we're the only club to strike out completely

I think the moral of the story is that we are very clever at manipulating picks but terrible at actually using them.

Yep need to manipulate picks to eventually trade them, not actually draft someone with them unless it is bid matching

My theory:

If we win a flag, we’d become an unstoppable juggernaut, as we’d never have a pick in the top 20 & hence would nail the draft every year.

We do well in the rookie draft, and MSD. Something allows us to find a diamond in the rough but we're unable to differentiate between stars

Our recent drafting across the board has been pretty poor.

There are a couple of exceptions (eg Roberts), but our strike rate with mid to late range and rookie picks has also been average

Pity we weren’t picking in the first 12…from our range it wasn’t a great draft. It was expected COVID draft

We wanted Ed Allen unfortunately the Pies took him. I’d have rather taken Allen then traded our next to the Hawks

Darcy Jones another small forward taken just after us. He's looking good

We flubbed that draft. Pure and simple. No need to keep excusing the club for it.
