This is why those players are out, well summarised.
Dunno why some folks still don’t get it
What do they want, just adding Lalor to a team with Bolton and Rioli still in it?
That team is bottom four for a decade.
Yeah, sorry a bit misleading
Should have read “ whether they want a tall or they specifically want Tauru”.
Its not just a full rebuild.
Its a supercharged compressed full rebuild at Usain Bolt pace.
4 years to get 4 top 10 picks?
We did that in one.
The beauty is we are already halfway into a reverse Posh rebuild.
The role players are in place.
Campbell, Mansell, Banks.etc
Potential top line defenders Gibcus and Brown.
We just need the cream. This year and next we fill up.

I wouldnt pay anymore than 20 or at most 18 along with 6
If they dont take it - fine move on and pick best available
there is no Harley Reid at pick #2
That's not a serious possibility.
No wonder our club is choosing not to trade up if that's the sort of nonsense being spoken about as a fair deal.
Let North overreach for Tauru at #2 and we'll nab three deadset guns at #6, #10 and #18.
I know who wins out of that.
Yep. So 6 and 18 is plenty. If not use some of them to get into next year's first round and pick the 6 best kids in the top 24.
That helps our pick 6 if North takes a player at 2 thats not really rated as a pick 2, means someone slides a little.
Now that I am starting to read more about this draft - it ain’t a normal draft, it’s being talked about as a super deep draft where in any normal year any one of the top 25 players could be considered top 10 in any other draft year. This crop doesn’t have a standout top 1, or 3 or even top 10. Quality runs deeper than it ever has before. Perfect timing tigs to have 8 quality picks.
So why do we want to trade up to #2 when the cost will be at least 1 less high quality player. Carlton did but their list isn’t full of holes like ours, they are contenders and clearly want a type. Just cause lolnorf are fixated on one player type, why should we let them get that player and another one as well, they only have one pick, why are we helping them? Previous years you would die for a coveted pick 1, 2 or 3 and wouldn’t think twice about trading multiple early picks to get one, that’s how we have operated in just about every other year but this year is different.
The only reason I can see for not selecting 8 players is the logistics of getting game time into all of them at once, rotating 8 first year players into a team will be a challenge but not an impossible one.
Also, why is everyone suggesting that one of our last picks be moved into a future first round pick. Again, moving a pick 24 in a super deep draft to a pick 15 - 18 in a weaker draft doesn’t make sense, you get a lesser player and lose 12 months development time with the club. I would only consider this if we were confident it was going to be a good future top 10 pick.
As you can see, unless any trading of picks really really works in our favour, I am advocating we walk away with 8 sparkling newbies in the hope maybe half of them become absolute A graders.

We'll never win a Premiership with Jackson recruiting duds like Grigg, Houli and Edwards.
Interesting.
Would possibly give us all 3 of Lalor FOS and Smith...otherwise Langford or Lindsay or Allen.
Assuming Draper Tauru and Armstrong taken before 6.
We can still get Faull Whitlock and Hannaford and maybe Algar or Dattoli.
Would be a nice haul.
