This is true but we aren't alone in this space, most of the top picks are mids. Mids just have better strike rates early in the draft.Well one thing I would have done was draft a KPD with an early draft pick. All this BS over many years coz we refused to do this during Hinkley's tenure.
Stop talking about his girlfriend he's a grown man ffs it's his decision.
The 4D Chess these guys play in their own little fishbowl minds is amazing. The people that go by those draft rating numbers don't live in the real world. Trading should simply be based on what we lose, what we gain, how does it effect the team balance, structure, style now and/or in the future, does trading to Team A disadvantage us becasue they are a direct competitor for the phase we are in? Not Pick 37 plus pick 56 plus a future second equals 1564 points or whatever. That stuff is complete horseshit (unless to do with all that F/S Academy picks malarky). It's like they've all watched Moneyball and thought yeah this is the way you do it. Spoiler Alert, even in the movie Oakland didn't win the World Series.Usually like Cripps but last 2 years is a big sign that he's been here too long
Richmond could be the kingmakers
Makes you wonder...
We play the long game. Genuinely fair at the trade table over the years when making a commitment to a player we want to bring into the club, or pay what we need to to get what we want when trying to move up the draft board.
Now when it's our turn to cash in a valuable commodity, we get reamed.
GTFO.
Haha, no connections at all here. I legit don't even know one person at the club. Just a supporter/club member.Players never do, the club should have anticipated that. So who are you connected with at the club?
How? They have pick 3 and they're not using it on Dan.People saying that Carlton are going to the draft, I still have a feeling Houston may end up there, pushing Collingwood might end up being a way to get Dan to the Blues.
Not sure if still can work but I've always thought Carlton would be where he ended up.
That's the thing though - people never put long term interest over immediate gratification so neither should we. Everyone is looking out for what is best for them now so worrying about what player managers or other clubs will do in the future if we upset them is not worth it. They will always come back and deal with us again in the future when they have a need to regardless of what happened in the past. As they say you it is always worth betting on "self-interest" in a horse race because at least you know it is trying.Makes you wonder...

Oakland not only doesn't win the World Series, but they cease to exist!The 4D Chess these guys play in their own little fishbowl minds is amazing.

Wrong Sport....Oakland not only doesn't win the World Series, but they cease to exist!
to elaborate they said the board overruled it because of fan backlash.You seriously can't make this shit up!
I don’t think this is the case. The media are calling the previously proposed trade crap.Media just general consensus that baker = 14 and bolt0n = 10/11 is ok, but houston for 13 and sanfl players is also ok, crazy
Wrong Sport....
BLOODY WOMEN!!NOW I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND EVEN HARDER
