It's easy to draft well when you're allowed to take the consensus top 5 picks for 2 seasons in a row

Do they? Then why would they trade the pick? Maybe the top 4 in there opinion is flat and they are happy to trade down....

Reported on AFL 360 and SEN that GWS will do whatever it takes to get pick 1.
Don't how reliable both are but that's what people are basing the trade hypotheticals for pick 1 from.

Wine didn't want to come to Sydney, JOR and Plowman would have played a lot more if they were Bulldogs, Anderson for Gilham got us what we needed.
Not perfect & didn't intend to imply we were, just that we have made the best of what we have been given.

JOR and Plowman are not going to be the players Stringer Wines and Macrae will be, don't give me wines didn't want to go to the Giants, its the draft and each kid has preferences, does not mean you don't draft the best.

Your kidding right? the dogs and port made the best that they were given seeing how the whole first round was made up of Giants pics mostly

Not really. Wingard specifically said he didn't want to move out of Adelaide, why waste a pick on a kid that says something like that? He's just going to put in a couple of lacklustre years, then be traded for a 3rd round pick.

Well clearly you know better than me mate, I wouldn't try to debate future outcomes with a draft guru...
Not entirely sure what got under your skirt, but I didn't say they didn't, only that Melbourne have wasted a lot of their opportunities & we haven't.
The rest is just you looking for an argument, look elsewhere.

No, me given my opinion that the giants have also made errors in the draft like you said Melbourne have is not me having something under my skirt its based on you know, my (opinion) and if you cant comprehend that then do as you wrote and move on.
And u still missed out on wingard

Who cares about how well GWS have drafted, the may have been terrible in the few years, but the overwhelming quantity and quality of their picks will overwrite the deficiencies, and make them an invincible team in a few years.
Wingard is not a miss, he told us he'd leave in 2 years for nothing if we selected him.
No self respecting recruiter could take a punk like that.
Well your opinion is pretty piss poor if you ask me. For all your wonderful recruiting we still tore you a new one in the last round and you can expect more of the same for the next 10 years.
By the way Tom Williams, Ayce Cordy, Clay Smith and Christian Howard say hi!!
Dumbos like you make everyone lose sympathy for the fact you haven't won a flag in 60 years.

Wow you are calling me dumbo for having a opinion that differs from your smart intellect? We have made more mistakes genius as your side have been in the comp for 10 seconds, what side did you defect from to start going for GWS. They were not all mistakes by the way regarding your hi's you sent. Smith will still be very good but got injured so not a mistake, Williams also had potential but injured, Cordy is touch and go, more go id say. with the picks the Giants got and players they missed out for ones that are not as good ability wise is adding up. if you had half a brain you would have mentioned and said hi to Everitt, Walsh also.
Reckon we've drafted pretty well, might be why everyone is trying to pinch our kids.
Anyway look forward to you bitching about our draft concessions every time we touch you up.

What do Melbourne people and some neutrals think of this trade?
Pick 4 and Mitch Clark >> Collingwood
Pick 22 and Lester/Harwood >> Melbourne
Beams >> Brisbane

Pick 22 is already Melbourne's. But I think I get the gist of your idea. I think Melbourne would be happy to get Crisp/Lester/Harwood for Clark given his health issues. I reckon the trade could work but you just know the Pies are gonna block it. Greedy bastards.
