And we just gift wrapped a top 3 pick.
Feel we're the dumbest club around at the moment because we're desperate to be competitive.

I sense you missed the point. Norf cannot get much by way of double top end R1 picks for 2 as the perceived view is that 2 to mid first round is so even and that mid to late first rounders are also damned hot property. So getting 12 and 14 from Blues was good business.

Side note - Giving up 14 instead of Hawks F1 for Baker was bad business

I can see the hesitancy with 6 and 10 where you're choosing you're own adventure but at 12 and 14 it feels like we're playing the wishing game that clubs ahead of us take a couple of KPFs so that the players we really need may be available to us. Not really the spot I love being in after another down year.

If we were bereft of KPF and did this trade knowing we're still likely taking Shanahan I'd be a bit more comfortable but feels like we have more of a need of players in the top 10 of this draft.

with how it stands we get lucky and we get a slider, things go as expected and we choose Lindsay or I'm walking away from this offseason fairly disappointed.

I think we'll try to get back into the draft with another pick which will either be too hard given the perceived depth or will result in us overpaying again.

We didn't even have Hawks F1 until the last monents of the trade period, so we were never gonna delay the Baker trade until after that. We were too eager.
Wasn't there also some rumour that we wanted to show Hawthorn that we didn't need them to get Baker.

Feel that it highlights the opposite tbh

Top 5 picks aren't being considered that far ahead of mid to late 1st rounders this year as a general consensus

However that does also show how much we overpaid for Baker too

 

[garlic munchers]

Hawks f1 for Baker and kept pick 3 is what should have happened

So barrass + F4 for Baker + F2 Hawks + f3 hawks

They panicked and panicked people tend to have a very narrow focus.

Trading pick three was done to satisfy the pure insanity of a first round pick for baker.

Trade period should of resulted in
Pick 3/14/30 baker in out: 26 and barrass
Or pick 3/26 f1 hawks f2 hawks in baker out f2 wce barrass

That Baker deal was one of the stupidest deals ever made. Even Pyke more or less acknowledged that.

Should never have made the early commitment to Baker.
