Let me take you back to 2014, the single worst draft/trade/recruitment period by any club in the history of the league.

Traded out Pick 7 & 19 for Kristian Jaksch and Mark Whiley

Pick 19 - Blaine Boekhurst
Pick 28 - Dillon Vojo-Rainbow
Pick 60 - Clem Smith
Pick 63 - Jayden Foster
PSD - Jason Tutt
Rookie draft - Billy Gowers, Brad Walsh, Tom Fields, Fraser Russell
Delisted free agent - Matthew Dick

Only positive was Liam Jones for Pick 46.
Combined with successive busts with our first pick in the draft …

2009 Pick 12 Kane Lucas
2010 Pick 18 Matthew Watson
2011 Pick 22 Josh Bootsma
2012 Pick 11 Troy Menzel

(Book-ended 2008 with Yarran Pick 6 and 2013 with Cripps Pick 13)

We are better at drafting than we were … but never any guarantees … with the picks he’s had I think Austin is tracking well …

2020 Pick 37 C Durdin (Pick 41 J Carroll)
2021 Pick 27 J Motlop
2022 Pick 11 O Holland (Pick 30 Cowan)
2023 Pick 29 A Moir

I was a believer in SOS and we had a terrible list at the end of Malthouse’s tenure in 2014 … and certainly some successes (2015 with Weitering, Harry and Charlie, and then 2018 with Walsh) and failures notwithstanding the players were highly rated (2016 SPS and 2017 Dow) … and taking TDK at Pick 30 in 2017 was brave at the time and brilliant with hindsight.

What we have trended better at is mainly getting our first pick right and not choosing as many busts later on in the draft.

Also that year: Jarrad Waite to norf, no compensation :skull:
 
I don’t have an issue with any of our delistings or trades. None will hurt our list, though Owies, Kennedy & J.Carroll, would have been decent depth.

Think we will cut deeper next year. Also think Hewett will get pushed out of the midfield next year like Kennedy did this year.

It confuses me. After multiple years on the list we know what Durdin offers us, SFA. WTF would we waste a train on spot on him.

It looks like we’ll be taking predominately mids in the draft. I’d hope with our rookie spots, we’d be looking at KP, Small Forward or Mid/Forward depth:

Gone cold on DGB, I didn’t realise he was an undersized third tall at 194cm

Interesting point re DGB. Doesn't this make JSOS a far more appealing prospect as that second tall defender if he comes back ok from his knee?

Also worth noting that Nick Haynes who is not only 6 years older than JSOS but also 2cms shorter is likely an insurance policy at best.

I liked the rumour about JSOS to the backline.

Remind me how we traded 19 yet used it on BB
