Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2024 - What do we do, we don't have a top 10 pick?

[Foxx]

We should have kept pick 9 and found the points for Kako elsewhere.
It's touted as possibly the best draft since 2001 and we gave away pick 9.

There's a very good chance 1 - Kako slips past pick 9, or 2 - we would have got either as much or more on draft night live trading that pick with another club.

There would have been several clubs trying to get it. I'm sure we could have had one or two deals ready in waiting.
Bring back Dodoro.

People keep saying this every year...

We haven't moved heaven and earth to get him we've actually got an 11th chicken nugget in our 10 McNugget meal.

We went to the fish n chip shop and they threw in a few extra calamari…
They also forgot a dim sim, but promised we get an extra one next week.

From a Quick Look.

F1 + p27 and if the bid doesn’t come before 7 we would be able to promise you that we won’t bid which saves you roughly another 250 points minimum (third round pick equivalent) as that takes you to Richmond at 10 which we can’t control.

And I’d argue there isn’t a bluff to be called here with us.

SOS has prior. Did it to Freo and Liam Henry at p9 (Twomey had him at 18 on his mock) and with todays news that we really rate him and it looking like one of the Gun mids falls to us at 7/8 then I can’t see how this isn’t done.

Well look at that...Silly Saints missing out on 3 top 10 picks, melts are glorious.

Back in your hole Stavros!

Kako better live up to all the internal hype for how we have moved heaven and earth to secure him.

Yes let's put immense pressure on him now before he officially arrives. Nothing horrendously shithouse ever happened by doing that!

Don't you think that the club would have at least some idea that an early Kako bid was a real possibility?

Draft night trading is fraught with danger. Another club could easily rug us and we'd have no leverage in the situation. This was a good move IMO, despite there indeed being a lot of talent on the table at our pick.

What people say every year is "next year's crop is stronger", but this is the first time that hasn't been said, which adds weight to the strong draft argument.

Bid or not it was a good offer.

At some point being able to turn 1 FRP into 2-3 is just too good to pass up

Love that. I got extra coconut jelly with my Vietnamese.

get him a 3rd party deal with Kellogg's for "Kako Pops"

Given the future pick changes next year we could offer 4 first round picks

And I think that's how much WCE would want. Only thing is EFC using 4 1st rounders on one player what could possibly go wrong
