And with the changes being suggested that teams will be able to trade future picks 2 years ahead rather than 1, it gives more flexibility if we want to try and trade back into next years draft.Carlton (traded pick 6) and Collingwood (traded pick 2) paid a heavy price trading out future firsts in recent years. Pies also traded this years first to Freo for Schultz and as of right now, that's looking a mistake.
If we can get a single figure pick this year for our F1 then we should do it to fast track our rebuild.
If the midfielders this year are highly rated then I’d roll the dice and try and get 2 in at the end of the year and give them as many games as possible next year.
At some point we have to really accept that our midfield- players and structure- need to be addressed.
