Draft/Trade Strategy 2023

It is his attitude to the preparation required to play AFL that got him delisted.
Skill wise he is a very good player.
There has to be at least 100 kids that could play AFL.
We need 4 picks under 50.
Trade Ralphsmith Graham Ross Prestia
People forget the early drafts went over pick 80.
Funny how even with all the resources put into analysis, testing and monitoring juniors, clubs still get it so, so wrong.
Anyway, that 2016 draft looks awful. Take out Taranto and McCluggage and the top 15 might be the worst of the last 25 years.
Lot of people around here like to *smile* on our recruiters but we absolutely nailed our list strategy that year. Traded our early picks for Prestia, Caddy and Nankervis then proceeded to draft the best player in the pool (Bolton) and a handy role player with our next pick (Graham).
He wouldn't cost much, kicked 38 goals this year, and the cupboard is bare, especially if Lynch doesn't come up next year.
He moved to SA for family reasons. Doubt he will want to move as he's settled with a young family and bff with SPP and his young family.
I'll always remember Finlayson as the guy who got one disposal in the 2019 GF
More for his X factor, but I suppose he'd be another Narkle type. High skill/talent, low output.
All correct. Finlayson’s wife has terminal cancer and moved to be closer to her family. Very sad story really. All too common these days
Plus his Mrs going through a cancer battle. He won't be moving at this stage in his life
I hope we are trolling the Suns and GWS lists to take someone off their hands for a pick or an upgrade of a pick.
We will have to be creative!

I can't believe we're in trade discussions and chasing free agents without a coach. Surely they're having input, otherwise we could be getting players who don't fit the coaches game plan/style. Seems dangerous for any prospective coach if they have no say on types.
