Steele has a lot of talent. He's still getting a game fairly regularly with a hugely talented midfield at GWS and he's only a second year player. If a side were to get him for a second round pick that would be a really good deal for them IMO.

They should be starting ones about Anthony Miles. Out of contract and Richmond fans have already turned on him.
i wouldn't hesitate to offer 2 2nd round picks.

He's a little vanilla IMO but could be a very solid player for a long time for anyone who picks him up. I doubt North is in the hunt simply due to having a number of players in the same mould, but would be very happy to have him if we were. We were, if I recall correctly, the ones who put a bid on him.

That has been the case. But a few weeks ago he played exclusively in the middle.
Steele had a dominant game in the NEAFL yesterday I see, is he any chance of breaking back into the side next week?
He will be a great addition for us next year. Looking forward to seeing Steele join the club.
Getting a bit ahead of yourself I reckon Farm Boy, will be a few chasing him
Hahahahahhahaha

Yeah well
You don't ask... etc etc. Knew I was out on a limb there
I believe you have taken what was intended as a pure observation of the current football climate as a personal attack on your football club.
Nevertheless, your statement (which has been made many times before) is simply not correct.
Clearly Hawthorn had a good team already going into these two drafts, but no better than some other teams around at the time. Certainly you would have to assume that the teams competing in the Grand Finals in the years immediately prior to the 2010 drafts (Geelong, St Kilda, Collingwood) would be better placed than us to take advantage of the dilution of talent. Furthermore we made some fantastic selections with relatively late picks in the GC/GWS drafts that granted us players essential to the threepeat in 13/14/15. If you care to look at the selections of our two clubs over the compromised drafts as an example you will see the following:
2010:
RICHMOND: Pick #6 - Reece Conca
HAWTHORN: Pick #19 - Isaac Smith
RICHMOND: Pick #30 - Jake Batchelor
HAWTHORN: Pick #38 - Mitch Hallahan
RICHMOND: Pick #47 - Brad Helbig
RICHMOND: Pick #51 - Dean MacDonald
HAWTHORN: Pick #55 - Angus Litherland
RICHMOND: Pick #63 - Tom Derickx
HAWTHORN: Pick #66 - Paul Puopolo
2011:
RICHMOND: Pick #15 - Brandon Ellis
RICHMOND: Pick #26 - Todd Elton
HAWTHORN: Pick #33 - Bradley Hill
HAWTHORN: Pick #38 - Jordan Kelly
HAWTHORN: Pick #53 - Alex Woodward
RICHMOND: Pick #55 - Matthew Arnot
Astute trading over this period also allowed us to turn 2011 Pick #24 (and dropping down the order in 3rd+4th round) into Gunston, and picking up David Hale for the 2010 end-of-1st round compensation pick. Again, essential players in the threepeat.
If anything, Richmond's draft history in terms of pick order is quite close to Hawthorns. We just picked, traded and developed the right players whilst managing to have the best coach in the league.
Just a thought on value. On the saint board it's been talked about either a future second or downgrading out first. Would trading our future first for Steele and Gws's future first work? They get more points we keep a top 10 pick this year and a first and second still for next year for any potential big trades.
It seems fair to me how do any GWS supporters feel about it?

Next year second round pick wouldn't be far off the mark IMO.

Let's say Richmond 1st and next years 2nd for Steele, Stewart and GWS 1st round this year.
Fair?

It's better than a 2nd rounder.

Point being? It's still a wildly imbalanced trade.

Upgrading 15 to 9 gives GWS the same number of points as pick 44.
Touché. In that case I really hope it happens!
