Probably better to continue with the draft in many regards... Mainly as we transition from the old guard, we still have a year or two that players can do in development.
I have a feeling that our development coaching has improved.
His form rise. Pies won't let him go now.

The spendthrift approach on recruitmnet of Richmond may just be fortunate for us.....
The Giants would have made us bleed for him, and we probably would have done it if we had chased hims so hard.... Our 2R1. plus considering the position they will be.
AFL trade news: Stay up to date with the latest player movement buzz
GWS received multiple high draft picks for Dylan Shiel, Jeremy Cameron and Adam Treloar. And it is about to play hard ball again with Richmond over Jacob Hopper.Greater Western Sydney is prepared to release star midfielder Jacob Hopper to Richmond but only if the trade bonanza includes two first-round draft selections.
Hopper last week chose Richmond over Geelong as his club of choice, but is fully aware as a contracted player GWS might hold him to a deal to 2023 he only signed in September last year.
The Herald Sun understands the Giants will be prepared to move Hopper, who hits free agency next year, but only if the price is right.
Richmond has only this year’s first-round pick and its future first-rounder but has to satisfy the Giants on both Tim Taranto and Hopper.
Moving Hopper on would help free up valuable cap space for GWS as small forward Bobby Hill also prepares to make a trade request to Collingwood by midweek.
That realignment of the Giants’ salary cap will allow new coach Adam Kingsley to move on without the shadow of a salary cap crisis, but he will lose Tim Taranto, Hopper, Bobby Hill and likely Tanner Bruhn.
GWS has already priced Hopper at the same value as departing midfielders Adam Treloar and Dylan Shiel.
Both of those players secured the Giants two first-round selections as they handed back a second-round pick to the Stars’ new clubs.
While many ambit claims are thrown around weeks before the trade period, GWS has shown its hand in previous years with strong-arm trade tactics.
The Giants secured three first-rounders for free agent Jeremy Cameron (and handed two second-rounders back) and the Dylan Shiel deal with Essendon went down to the wire.
In the end Essendon handed over 2018 and 2019 first-round selections and got a 2019 second-round pick back, with Dons recruiter Adrian Dodoro saying of the Giants: “They were adamant they were going to keep him”.
Collingwood handed over pick 7, a future first-rounder and pick 65 to GWS for Treloar and secured pick 28 back in a 2015 trade.
Richmond might have to include some players into the mix given its draft haul is pick 12, 19, 30 and a future first-rounder, and they also plan to draft a developing ruckman.

Its more about Collingwood softening its decision to get rid of him. Sept form like his can make one forget a June misdemeanour

As he is only 22... what is the best his naem pops up at some stage when he thinks about what he could be earning. ...but no certainty its with us.

Sam Flanders got a lazy 40 plus disposals for GC VFL - but then so did one C Constable!
Even so, i think Flanders could be a cheapish and useful addition.
I also like Jeremy Sharp from the same club - he would look good standing with Sam DEK, young Zac and Ollie Dempsey. He is a dasher with plenty of upside.

Take away Flanders being rated as a junior nobody would even know who he is (very similar with Bruhn).
Constable gets touches for breakfast in the VFL and always to my eye was a very ineffective player.

And his standing as a junior comes basically from one stand out game where he went wild.

The pies will want a FR1
But I hope we keep that, I don’t think we will be better next year than this year IMO

Pick 17 in 2020 Draft. Pick 19 may be appropriate but given lack of games given to him in 2H 2022 a R2 pick may be more appropriate?

Henry has shown more than Bruhn id have thought.

I do think we need a decent 25 year old mid to bridge the gap though

Depending how retirements go and the draw we get we might be giving away pick 5 there

You could make a tidy trade in teams belief that ‘next year’s draft will be better’.

I think from memory there’s 3 F/S tipped to go early
So we might be handing over between 18 21

Need a Geelong win, Collingwood loss, and Ollie can come to the Grand Final as a spectator in full Geelong regalia. It will be the biggest triggering event for Collingwood fans since…last week.

sort like a stopped clock...?
Id say it fair chance to be right this time cause this year doesn't not appear to be that good. ..so you are not trying to be better than 2001 for eg.

At 183, I think he is big enough if he was good enough...but i do not think he is.
