Very interesting idea.
What do we lose?
I,m keen on 10 and 11 because we could get 2 of Lindsay, Allen, Berry, Travaglia. Or Armstrong.
But it sounds like XL might head to St K. And the others are possibly only part time mids. Good players but probably solid mids at best.
Or a key forward, but there is a dozen waiting at 18.
And pick 23 has scope but its likely to be an outside mid/flanker, which we get each draft. I'd have Moraes as the example.
What do we gain?
Getting p2 and keeping 1 and 6 would likely give us 3 of Lalor FoS Jagpipes Draper Langford.
Three!
And some doofus from the lazy 25 class.
Lalor FoS Langford f6
Or
Lalor Langford Allan Berry Moraes
I'm in
Thats my thinking too. I'd love to get Berry, we might get lucky at 18, but the class that we would get at the top of the draft and maybe we got that top line tall next year with Norths F1, next year at the moment sounds like there are a few more talls at the top end, could obviously change, but getting the mid sorted with 4 of Lalor, FOS, Smith, Langford and Dyson Sharp next year, is IMO way too good to pass up.
As we know its the pure mids that win premierships, the outside mids are part of the setup, but the core for winning a premiership comes from inside mids, and we would have a great opportunity to nail that in 2 drafts, along with as you say add talls or some small forwards (Berry maybe, Hannaford, Dattoli) in that 18-24 range.
