    Constantly worrying about where we'll be in four years is a sure way to constantly being four years from our next flag.

      Just out of interest, how many first round picks in the Premiership 22?

        Exactly, four years from now is when we start rebuilding as most of our stars will be either retired or 32+ years old. Right now is when we need to be ruthless with our list and do whatever it takes to stay at the top.

          Agreed. I couldnt give a fat rats about 2009. 2006 is our best shot at a premiership since .... 2005! Seriously though, 2006 should be our recruitment departments sole priority.

            Hall (by virtue of us having traded two first round picks to get him)
            Williams (traded first round pick)
            J.Bolton
            Ball (traded first round pick)

            It's conclusive. Trading away first round picks can't win flags.... oops... wait a minute...

                Err NO,

                That is exactly how you end up being Hawthorn !

                You bring players thru every year and top up your squad, not let most of your group all end up the same age, that is sheer folly.

                    Jolly was traded for a first round pick, Fosdike was a first round draftee.

                          I heard the exact same thing from your grandfather in 1934.

                            You should prob include Fosdike in that also, as from memory he was a priority (effective) 1st round. Also Nicky D ?

                              You misunderstand my point. I was refering to the fact that in four years Hall, MOL, Kirk and Leo will all be either too old or retired and as such this is when we will be forced to rebuild our squad rather than top up with veterans.

                                You should never be 'forced' to rebuild ala Hawthorn, and anyway Roos is too smart for that.

                                But apologies if i am still misunderstanding
