We did it because our list manager is dumb and committed too early

The timing of the trades didn't help either. When the Baker trade did happen, Richmond had already traded out their useful picks so they had nothing to give us.

Went entirely as expected.
First pick and steak knives for Smith. No other activity.
Kept all of our future picks which I think is important. We may well trade back into the draft on the night if there is someone left we really like but on balance our picks next year are more likely to be better than our picks from this year so better to sacrifice this year instead.
End of the day if Smith gets back to his best form it will be an A. If Smith ends up a disaster it will be a F. Not a lot of middle ground when we look back at this in 5 years time.

3 months ago i was here telling people Bakers value would be around pick #15 - I was told i dont know how trades work
Also posted we will get Rioli plus more - And again I was told i dont know how trades work
Mentioned we would get #10 + #11 for Bolton - I was told i dont know how trades work
A - Richmond they extracted max value for 3 loyal servants would have been A+ If the eagles had paid Graham enough for Band 3
Its already A+, you got an extra 20s pick in value out of Baker, you got nearly pick 6 of value extra from Rioli, and you got that little upghrade on 10+18 for Bolton.
The graham bit is completely irrelevant

B. We wanted battle and barrass and got them which meets expectations as a C. Consensus going in was barrass for 14 and f2. We ended up giving 14 and the equivalent of about pick 60 on DVI so a win.
Very happy with Tigers trade period.
With Dusty now joining Cotchin, Riewoldt, Edwards, Houli, etc in retirement, it just feels like the end of an era and time to embrace a new generation by going all in on the draft.
It's a shame to lose Baker, Bolton, Graham & Rioli - but we can't sink any lower from this years wooden spoon and it opens up more opportunities for our younger players.
I thought we maybe went too early and too generous with trading all our late picks with Brisbane, but those picks would just have been used up as sweeteners in all our other deals and were unlikely to move into next years draft.
Also feels like we missed an opportunity to exploit free agency somehow with Jack Graham - which may have forced the AFL to actually fix it.
