Losing first pick will mean we'll only get one of Srhoj and Henry. Much better if we get both. I think it's too early to write Freo off, the AFLW gave much tougher fixtures to top teams last year, so we had an easy one, they had a tough one. Theirs will be much easier this season.Genuinely reckon we could finish above them this year - which draft wise would mean they'll probably take Cleaver who we now don't need anyway, and we can just pick whoever we want after that as usual. After a draft where there's no new U18s and they get a bunch of picks before us in a draft we're probably not taking any picks anyway.
Usually in the mens we tend to win the games and they tend to 'win' the drafts! Pretty rare you get to win both
Also, our kids are looking very talented, but the inexperience is serious. There's not an AFLW team more loaded with talent than the Bulldogs, but they're still only a mid-table team because they're so young.
And no first pick for the 2006s would mean we'd miss Zippy Fish, who's looking like the outstanding player in that draft. The 2007s might be the first bunch where it really doesn't matter, because there's a whole bunch of elite talent at a similar level.
