'Sick of waiting' sounds like another sook from Sookthorn. Hope Barass does a backflip on them.
We were never going to use the picks in the 40's, and 20 is a massive upgrade on 32.
*But we should have used our later picks instead of 32, cos we might have used 32, Blair sux waaaaaaa*
Maybe having a few spare picks fits our plans better than one spare pick? Like maybe we're looking at some experienced fringe players, or some VFL types, or whatever and we need a few junk pics to bring in the guys we want?
Or maybe Brisvegas was getting intereset from other clubs, and 20 was at risk? And we thought that holding onto 32 and junk picks we wouldn't use didn't make much sense just for the sake of "nOt gEttInG reAMed!!?!"
Or maybe we value good trading relationships, because it's a better way to get the deals done that matter most to you, than Doddoro-style brinkmanship that pisses everyone off?
Who knows? Not me, I wasn't privy to the negotiations. Happy to be educated by anyone who was. On the face of it, it's an upgrade that leaves us with options. Good trading if you ask me.

There's so many possible reasons why we wanted Pick 20, but without knowing our thinking, we can only wait and see.
Who knows, maybe we needed a 1st rounder to secure better picks for one of our trades.
After 20 years on this board, it's still head scratching to see how the usual darksider suspects can look at every little thing the club does from a negative perspective. Always looking for something wrong or bad with what we do. You must be fun at parties.

Lol at the melts
Also lol at the notion that Hartley is an amateur
The trade tells me about the draft. There are different kinds of deep.
This move tells me there will be top ten caliber players sliding to 20-25 this year but it falls away after that.
In previous years we’ve been ok with a pick 32. I’m now seeing this draft as a pure, unusually strong top ender that falls away.
Grabbing 6 in the top 25 is Hartley’s end goal here. I would suggest posters keep an eye on the prize instead of melting.

We're all about 1st rounders - not interested in 2nd and beyond. Reckon close to the money on Rioli, but 24 instead of 20. Interesting indeed.
from the doyen of getting it wrong.
I would take this *smile* opinion with a grain of salt
Probably best we take 10 & 18 for Bolton in case more sh!t hits the fan from other clubs.
would it be fair to say that pick 32 might've ended up at around 40 by the time all the academy and father/sons came into play? As where 20 can be used better; even if it is pushed back to 24ish- as its still going to be in the first round on night 1.
