Won't Gulden cost more?
Gulden will most likely cost more than Warner.
I was referring to Gulden

Won't Gulden cost more?
McDonald does not fill me with joy, even though that seems to be locked.
This x1,000I think quality smalls is a glaring whole on our list, to be worse with Walters goes. Switta is a half season player injury wise.
Why not keep the three firsts, draft a developing tall forward and the two best small goal kickers available, take a half back flanker with the saints second.
That sets us up for years - blowing it all on the solid but not spectacular McDonald does not fill me with joy, even though that seems to be locked.
If we rely on 3 draft picks again we will be wasting prime years of Darcy, Young, Clarke, Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong while we wait for the draft pricks to develop. We have had 3-4 years of high draft picks already. We are crying out for forward talls so McDonald would be a no brainer to be next to Amiss and Treacy and would replace Tabs easily.I think quality smalls is a glaring whole on our list, to be worse with Walters goes.

I dont normally put a lot of stock in managers but McDonalds was as definitive as they can get on Gettable, dont think we are getting McDonald.I think quality smalls is a glaring whole on our list, to be worse with Walters goes. Switta is a half season player injury wise.

If Tabs can’t play this week with Jackson and Darcy, what if McDonald comes in next year and have the same dilemma?If we rely on 3 draft picks again we will be wasting prime years of Darcy, Young, Clarke, Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong while we wait for the draft pricks to develop.

Issue is firsts aren’t used on small forwards. They’re on elite talls and midfielders with the unicorn rucks- like English and Jackson.I dont normally put a lot of stock in managers but McDonalds was as definitive as they can get on Gettable, dont think we are getting McDonald.
I also disagree 3 more kids is really a good thing. It's ok, 3 1sts is 3 1sts but I'd much rather established talent at this point
I’ve got no problem trading for some or all of the picks but we don’t need a tall - we need one touch smalls. Class in the forward line continues to hurt us.If we rely on 3 draft picks again we will be wasting prime years of Darcy, Young, Clarke, Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong while we wait for the draft pricks to develop.

If there's 1 position where you can get a 1st rounder and have them be a real contributor as quick as possible, it's probably small fwd, and if a blue chip prospect small fwd is there for the taking I'd be stoked.I dont normally put a lot of stock in managers but McDonalds was as definitive as they can get on Gettable, dont think we are getting McDonald.

This is sort of correct, but sometimes clubs take a chance on small forwards early.Issue is firsts aren’t used on small forwards. They’re on elite talls and midfielders with the unicorn rucks- like English and Jackson.
This is sort of correct, but sometimes clubs take a chance on small forwards early.
It is uncommon, usually it’s after the top ten or so players.
But where our picks are predicted I’d take the chance especially if it’s the difference
of winning finals.
List managers will take small forwards early if they are "worth it" - ie. they empirically have kicked lots of goals at colts/TAC cup level, tackle a lot, have demonstrated the right attitudes to training, have the athleticism (super speed and agility, leap, endurance) and skills. Look at this draft year though, what small even has the right athleticism? Kako and Champion I don't think are going to be world beaters when it comes to testing; more like just okay. Ball gathering inside mids with a splattering of talls and a few hbf/utility types will likely be the first round mix this year.This is sort of correct, but sometimes clubs take a chance on small forwards early.

This always changes once the U18’s starts or has finished.At the moment there is a lack of small forward talent in the draft.
Not always we picked Henry after all.List managers will take small forwards early if they are "worth it" - ie. they empirically have kicked lots of goals at colts/TAC cup level, tackle a lot, have demonstrated the right attitudes to training, have the athleticism (super speed and agility, leap, endurance) and skills.

Henry is not a very good small forward unless you want one that doesn't kick a lot of goals.Not always we picked Henry after all.
Something smells at the Dogs.Caleb Daniel seems to be on the outer, pretty good user of the ball.
Henry actually was kicking heaps of goals at a Colts and U18 nationals before being drafted. He was / is also an incredibly hard trainer and was top 10 nationally in terms of agility for his year. He was also perceived by recruiters as versatile; there were numerous times where he would go into the claremont midfield and get something like 20 odd possessions and 4 goals and basically win the game for them. He was a most excellent junior IMO worth a top 10 pick.Henry is not a very good small forward unless you want one that doesn't kick a lot of goals.
