Yeah same here. 2016 is pretty much irrelevant to us unless we can find a few diamonds in the rough. Hoped we would have better picks but got a fire sale instead.
You need a new avatar.. we swapped that one for pick 230 or something...

I think we set ourselves up for the 2017 trade period and didn't really lose much in terms of departing players, as you say Witts could be the one exception. It's always subjective as to who replaces who with regards to spots on the field and we differ slightly in that regard, which is mainly because of Mayne as whether he plays as a defensive forward (Macaffer) or an undersized KPF (Cloke). Really he needs to play the latter role or at least provide a marking target alongside pressure acts.List spots swapped:
32.) Swan -> Wells
33.) Cloke -> Mayne
34.) Brown -> Dunn
35.) Macaffer -> Hoskin-Elliott
36.) Witts -> pick 28
37.) Williams -> pick 44 (Brown)
38.) Frost -> pick 51 (Daicos)
39.) Goodyear -> pick 62
40.) pick 65
This is the best way to look at it so far, forget who went for what and why, it is about who is switching spots on the list and whether that is an improvement. Also column A is likely to have been on a lot more dollars than column B which is important for next years FA bonanza shoot out.
It is very hard to say anyone in column A would be definite best 22 (given Swan has one leg now) or had a lot of future potential left in them. I do have a bad feeling Witts will be the one that will break out & do something that we regret.
I would say Wells, Mayne & WHE will all feature as best 22 players next year. Dunn adds little more than Frost & Brown.
If we do not get Daicos & Brown after all this I will be most devastated, as they add that future potential. I hope we do not have to use the 28 on them and that can be another quality exciting kid to add.
The only other thing to note is our 2nd rounder went back to a 3rd rounder for 2017.

Tell me about it Kappa
The problem is I don't want to put the jinx on the next guy.
Any safe suggestions?
I think the only person Buckley couldn't have a falling out with next year is his best mate Sando...
So.. maybe Sando?
The system changing (teams could no longer take more picks into the draft than list spots) really restricted the ability for clubs to upgrade a combination of lower picks for a higher one this year. Very few of those type of deals were done in comparison to last trade period.I could of stomached all this shit if we at least improved our position in the draft to a respectable level.
Swap a few later picks for a higher one, maybe actually get a decent return for promising young players... but nope.
You sure he wont get the heave ho if Bucks gets the chop next year? I mean I want to be safe this time.
Literally the only person in the entire club I can safely say that will still be there in 3 years is Pendles.
Let's all get Pendles avatars
Good thing we drafted Peter Wright or Jake Lever with pick 5 when we had the opportunity instead of another vanilla mid.........We have gone backwards, great job Hine. We now only have 1 KPP under 25 that's fantastic list management right there
DeGoey will be good for us. But we never take any talls. We could have had Mitch McGovern instead of Levi Greenwood if we kept 25 or had Alir Alir over White. I made a list in another thread but we never draft tallsGood thing we drafted Peter Wright or Jake Lever with pick 5 when we had the opportunity instead of another vanilla mid.........
....wait
hat about toovey?You've got #47 crossed out but then using it on our #38th list spot?
Is this a typo?
