I don't want to here people bagging that we traded away our 1st picks.
Twitter is full of people complaining that will don't have a 1st rounder till 2025.
Tooo bad. Here is a list of the guns we have taken
Ellis x2, Collier Dawkins, Coleman Jones, Higgins Dow, Brown.
We just won 3 flags.
We can chill

Rance Cotch Dusty Vlas JR Brando DR R2 Shai Flappers Shank

4 club godz thats what you need more than anything. The core of champions.
Loss of those picks last year will hurt us medium term.

The players you mentioned were drafted before 2010.. you forgot Conca Vickery
Why didn't you go back to 1987 .

Oh so you are providing evidence for why first round draft picks arent needed by ignoring the good players we took that actually won us the 3 flags you cite. I get it now.

Again, like a broken record. Historically, you have only marginally more chance of finding a 200+ game player with a late first rounder than you do with an early third rounder. The picks are essentially the same in value. It only appears we do worse with first rounders because we’ve less of them in the last decade relative to second and third round picks.

Also CCJ not a first round pick.

Pick scmick! It seems to me that there is some talent in our well.

And with our injuries some will step up especially if the likes of Martin ,Grimes,JR will act as generals to spur them on.
 
This thread should be borderline locked, as it's pretty much just trolling.

We've seen the same argument sprouted about 400 times - this thread adds nothing new to the discussion.

Umm. Pretty sure one of those Ellis's helped us win two of the three flags. Old mate Bobble should not be mentioned among the others.
