Logue - pick 8. Tried to turn him into a forward to get some use out of him but he was crap up there. Traded for a Future 2nd. BUST.Let's look at the 6 blokes you mentioned.
Logue was pick 8. A versatile player. He wasn't a forward. He played in the backline for most of his career. A Tom Dodee type at the crows who is 190 cm that can play 2nd tall at centre half back or 3rd tall on a back flank or back pocket.
Luke Jackson. Paid a lot to get him. I personally didn't wanted him after the last tall forward we got from the demons (Jesse Hogan) .
Henry at 9 was an academy pick. Half forward flankers or winger.
Sturt is talented but injury prone. So harsh to bag him.
Jesse Hogan trade was bad. At least with the Harley Bennell trade we got pick 22, which went back to 28 which ended up like Darcy Tucker. Hogan had glimpses on being good. Not freos fault Hogan did stupid things off field.
Rory Lobb came in the same trade period as Hogan. I still say Lobb was the better pick up of the 2. Year he was inconsistent and injury prone. But he helped us in 2022 getting a finals win.
Hogan - picks 6, 23. Lost a Brownlow medallist for this guy and you only got 18 goals out of him in 2 years before giving him away for nothing. He’s now kicking over 30 goals a season for GWS. CATASTROPHIC BUST
Lobb - picks 11, 19. Spudded it up for a few years before you finally got some use out of him last season where he was your only reliable target up forward. Let go for a couple of junk picks in the 30’s. BUST
Henry - pick 9. Hardly gets a run and would’ve bailed on you guys last year but no one else wanted him. BUST.
Sturt - pick 17. Likely to get delisted at the end of the year, barely WAFL standard. BUST.
Jackson - picks 13, F1, F2. Spare ruck / crap forward who fills a spot you already had covered with Meek. If he can’t kick a few more than his current 0.5 goals per game you’re really screwed.
All in all you’ve spent 7 first round picks on 6 of these guys over the course of the last 7 years, including a handful of juicy top 10’s and walked away with 5 spuds and a backup ruck / crap forward.
