Alternatively we could pick up Rozee and Butters like players yo go with Naz, Pou, Wilson, and Garcia and have the best midfield in the league taking us to multiple premiership, while wasting draft capital on a hbf'er keeps us in the doldrums for another decade.
Your scenario of picking up a rozee and butters is as much (if not more) unlikely than my scenario. Also I'm allowed to share my opinion. You don't have to agree with it but it doesn't make it invalid.
I'm not one to exaggerate, but my 6 year old daughter, who did one Auskick session but was scared by the boisterous young boys and never went back, would LITERALLY be a better option than Shiel.
Reality says one is gettable and the other isnt. That's why we are going after Macrae.
There are literally multiple top 10 busts in every year of the draft. I'll name a few from the last few 5 drafts:
2018
- Chayce Jones
2019
- Fisher mcasey
- Dylan Stephens
2020
-Nick Cox
-Zach Reid
-will Phillips
2021
Josh gibcus
Now obviously these guys still have time to get their career going but most likely none of them will be guns.
I wouldagree you cannot use two first round picks for him but if he was available with the battle compensation first round pick then I would absolutely do that. Gives us a gun player for now and a draft pick for future. With how even the comp is at the moment it's definitely an era where you can Jag a premiership from seemingly nowhere.
Just my opinion anyway

Deals with all the player managers, department staff, contracts, planning and other list managers during trade season. He does plenty.
If you go by that logic no trade would ever get done because the chance of picking up a 300 game superstar would always outweigh the benefit of the player to be traded in.
He's a high impact player but obviously not sufficiently athletic for the modern game. He's the kind that you'd hope you can phase out but given our demographic he serves a purpose for now.
Been very little said about Crouch.
You’re missing an important point where do these scenarios potentially get you ?. Houston does nothing for us full stop and therefore isn’t a viable option. We’re trying to build a contending list, he’s not part of that except as a very expensive transitional player who will cost you the guys who will hopefully take us forward.
We don't yet and very little has been said from the club itself but the last media reports suggested it wasn't looking good for him.
How good is this
Add Shiel and Parker and we’re cooking with gas.houston and treloar lol
Made a boo boo with the Ethan Phillips joke, ahh well
