Geelong doesn't have pick 39. Unless Sydney traded it for Mumford.

About as much as we got for Peake. Seems fair.
Freo now have picks 48/49/52 all together

Hack gone, never know what the pick might bring...
well an eventful day for the cats. Atleast they get some depth in defence. Will be handy at times in 2010 because Scarlett and Harley are not going to play every game and you don't want to have to rely on Mackie as a Full Back. Taylor is a great player but still don't want to have him the key to the defence.
Drum should go OK I reckon. Fair enough trade. Pick 47 doesn't have a lot of worth to Geelong anyway.

It is a decent get, Drum still has a big upside.
Losing Mumford wasn't so great for them though.

You should elevate as many of your awsome rookie class of 2008.

Cats big winners there, but we were going to get nothing for him if we didn't do it.
I would think we would use all 5 inside 50 and pass on 68 because apparently we are using a pick for PSD.
Wow, Freo got shafted here.
A worse pick than they got for Peake and I think Drum is going to be a decent player.

Drum is a decent get. Provides some depth in key defence (the one area we need to rebuild given the age of Harley Scarlett and Milburn) for a very low wage, and we may not have used 49 anyway.
Mumford was a loss, and now we must keep West! and hope Blake and Ottens can play a full 2010. But given he was uncontracted we got as fair a return as we could've. I hope we can draft a good replacement with this pick.

Drafting has not been our problem. It's been the trading of early picks which has done it.
Our picks in the 40-50 range (i.e. Medders and Mayne for two) and our rookie listed players (i.e. Sandi, Hayden and Broughton this year) have actually been very good.
Thought we could have got a bit more for Drum but you get that.

Hooray! You can draft more duds.About as much as we got for Peake. Seems fair.

Yea
Clearly you know what you're talking about.... Drafting hasn't been our problem... trading was. Our drafting over the last 2 years has been really good with players like Palmer, Mayne, Ballantyne, Hill, Suban, Broughton, DeBoer.
Drafting hasn't been our problem? Rubbish. I would think Drum is perfect evidence of this. Regardless of trading, we have a huge hole in our list because we wasted top picks on Drum, Dunn, Murphy, Polak, Schammer and then Campbell, Collard etc if you look at second rounders. The last few years have been better as we've eased Smart out of the frame. Apart from that our drafting has been extremely ordinary.
You're right, we should focus more on getting guns like Chris Masten.
