    Logan and Denver, drafted 4 and 6 by us and Hawks in 2 yrs have played 20 games and are at least 2 yrs away from high end footy.

    Now that was with Top 6 picks.

    Almost kidding ourselves drafting talls with late teen picks.

    Darcy Cameron took 5yrs to come on as a mature age.
    Key position players do take longer to develop for sure in most cases but buying them in at their peak years, assuming you can do it, costs absolute top dollar. Richmond prised Lynch out of GC and we managed to get Plugger and Hall but its a tough challenge!

      Did anyone else get a sense from Charlie G that we are not quite as excited about using both round 1 picks this draft?

      Ie when he mentioned that we are open to moving up this year and or next year?

      I wondered whether we see next year's draft as stronger and or how we may like to use our two first round picks ie maybe we see an important trade for next year?

        I haven't heard any news/speculation on Trade Radio etc about us potentially trading out one of our first round picks, AG. However, I would not rule it out as some Clubs involved in these potential big trades are getting nervous and may need more draft capital to get deals across the line. If a good offer was made for one or both of those picks then it may be worth considering. We seem to be largely spectators in the trade period at present which is not necessarily a bad thing!

          Agree about the positive ramifications about spectating. We appear to be happy with our list and we should be imo. We made the granny with a fairly young squad.

            Not sure which club (other than Brisbane and that ship has well and truly sailed) would want to get more capital in this years draft?

            I guess once the deals are done, North / Weagles might be interested in turning Ports future first into our first this year?

            I see Josh Jenkins has suggested we should grab Matt Crouch… please no

              Agreed, Mark. He would be expensive and handy at best. Better to give the youngsters a go!

                I saw that article. Jenkins thinks we need a bigger body in the midfield. He called Warner 'slight'. He didn't realise that Crouch is lighter than any of our current midfielders. It's his older brother who has the bigger body. The whole idea was stupid and he got all the facts wrong to boot.

                Congratulations Josh. You are now well and truly a fully qualified footy journalist.

                  Has a big opinion of himself but seldom makes sense.

                    Between this anecdote and the earlier one about SOS and Rendell - what a bunch of incompetents.

                        Michael Gleeson reporting in Ninefax publications tonight that Essendon 'will trade defender Aaron Francis to Sydney'; just in case anyone was beginning to wonder.

                            Ok, thanks!

                            Incidentally, I found it in the three dots in the top right.
