turk-d-tiger said:Lets be honest here and get rid of the elephant in the room - Our recruiters stuffed up and stuffed up badly
I said it prior to the draft that there were 2 teams that we should have targeted to trade with Gold coast or The bulldogs
Gold Coast had #24 & #29
Bulldogs had #27 & #38
The Bulldogs would have been the perfect trading partner and we should have offered up our 2019 1st rounder + #62 for the 2 picks the doggies held #27 & #38
Specially when there was no bid on west until #22/#23 the doggies had enough points to meet a later bid with their late picks +our #62 and They would have banked our 1st rounder for 2019 - I cant believe they wouldnt have jumped at that
We could have ended up with
#20 - RCD
#26 - Williams
#37 - Bytel
#43 - Ross
#58 - Turner
This would have meant that We drafted
1 x Rucman/Fwd in Williams
3 x Inside big bodied mid bulls
1 x Big outside elite runner thats the youngest player in the draft
Midfield & Rucks would have been set as well as foward depth
We missed a great opportunity
They didn't do what you wanted, so they stuffed up, ok.
