Not really. Unless you didn't watch Travaglia when he got unleashed at times this year for the Pioneers.
Towards the end of the season Travaglia spent periods in the forward line kicking multiple goals in 4 of the last 8 games he played. Against the Dragons he almost single-handedly took the Pioneers to a win with three goals in the last quarter.
Also whether Duggan was a line-breaker pre-draft is debatable but, outside of a moment or two every few games he really has not demonstrated that ability in a long time. Rarely does he take the game on with the ball tucked under his arm. This is where Tobie thrives, particularly in the second halves of games where he can sprint passed players who are clearly fatigued and cannot keep up with him. Typically this is right through the centre of the ground.
Now Duggan may have had a good (or even elite disposal) at U18s level. He definitely doesn't now.
I think Duggan's football IQ is alright. He is just not quick enough or has good enough foot skills to make use of it.
Also Travaglia is 188cm and aerially elite. Duggan has grown since he was drafted but he has never demonstrated that he has any meaningful aerial prowess. At best he would halve a one-on-one.

A photo of my daughter, which I won't post here.
I did have Tom Barrass' mark against Hawthorn for a number of years:

I like this, everything we got for barass and 26 for 8, 32, 47

Out - Hawks f1 + Hawks f2 + Hawks f3 + 26
In - 8, 32, 47

Draft hand - 8,12,32,47,73

8 - Draper, Langford
12 - Travaglia/Lindsay/Berry/Allan
32 - Boxshall/Mraz
47 - Dennis
73 - Champion

All we've lost is an f4 via the barass trade. Have no issue without the need for 2 firsts next year (after past experiences during the trade period)

Trading out of this years draft and into next years isn’t a good option for us, as we’ve made 10 list changes this offseason and only brought in Macrae so far, so we’re going to be loading up big-time on this draft. As it stands, I read we only have 30 on our senior list right now.

We may be using our 4 live picks, then potentially matching bids for Cole, Hoffman and Peckett. So we need picks this year, not next.

I'm not worried about Melbourne at pick 9, someone will slide. But Richmond at 10 and 11 sniping us for Bo after the Baker trade....anger

So 6 list spots assuming L.Edwards goes. Keep that Edwards spot for DFA/SSP.
Up to 5 players to add via draft then.

Swap our f2+hawks f2 for 28+31 from the Bombers, then swap 26 for the bombers f2+f3 after.
Offer Richmond hawks f1+ess f2+ess f3 for pick 11(on draft night if 2 of the 3 main guys we want are there), they owe us a slight favour after the Baker thing.
Take picks 11, 12, 28, 31 and 73 into the draft

Travaglia + Allan/Lindsay + Moraes + Barrat + Champion.

Future KPD sorted, and outside run sorted

Still have our f1, f3 and hawks f3 for next year.
Forget Warner, take Rodriguez with our f1, then just make sure we have points to match bids.
