Im just saying, we have spent picks 14, 31, 8, 14, 29, 1, 38, 49, 16, and 46 on mids(at least players who played mid/wing in their u18 years) in the last 4 drafts. Thats 10 picks over 4 drafts.

4 of those in the first 14 picks of their drafts, ordinarily thats the type of stuff you can build a midfield around. Theyre even all 4 different types of mids that would have complemented each other, our picks just havent worked out as we wouldve liked - yet(except maybe Chesser lol)

We did start trying 3 drafts ago, is my point

Agree no point in chasing Warner too hard unless we keep Reid, but it might be a damage control sort of thing the club tries to sell the fans, "we swapped Reid for Warner" which id understand. The club needs to get off the bottom of the ladder now, rather than in 3-4 years time from a business perspective.

If we Let Allen go for an early pick(pick3), got 2 firsts(1 top 5 + 1 top 10) + a f1 from Essendon for Reid, then turn pick 3+bombers f1 into Warner I think thatd be an ok result for a rebuilding team that needs to sell hope to the fans and sponsors

Swapping Allen+Reid for Warner+a top 5 + a top 10 pick wouldnt be awful, still have our pick 2 + hawks 1st too

Find an inside mid from somewhere with our 2nd rounder and draft with the rest of the picks

Picks 2+4?+8?+hawks 1st is a good hand

I think thatd be a fine outcome
