but that midfield in 4 years time will 100% be the best in the comp. As for now, yeah they will hurt

Unless they don't develop.

They're in a side that should be 1990s Fitzroy bad, or 2010s Carlton bad. They'll be horrendous - and maybe they young players just don't come on?

And just because they're top draft picks doesn't automatically make them the best.
Most players don't peak until they're 25 or so.

Id say 23 for star mids. Taller bigger bodied mids probably 24-25. The game demands respect and even the best young talent take time. This is what makes Aussie Rules the hardest team sport in the world to play.

You're talking about one top draft, one top 10 and a handful of other talents.
That doesn't remotely equal "best midfield in the AFL".

For comparison, we could have a pick 3, pick 4, pick 6 and pick 8 in our midfield very soon.
Which by draft pick standards is better than Richmond's hand.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Okay, they can be the 2nd best midfield to us

AdelaideFan14 skipped

Mr MysteryGuest is up

 

[Mostyn]

Well, we've slowed down to a complete halt

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

It appears I might have waited a little too long to get my main ruckman,

Pick 330 - Rhys Stanley



Pick 331 - Ned Moyle

Sneaky chance to overtake Witt’s next year.

AdelaideFan14 is still skipped?
