Really.. it doesn't work that way?? Shame. But thanks for letting all the posters who were saying it did work that way know!
We do really well with late draft and rookie picks. Filling spots on our list with known quantity b-graders or rejects serves no purpose at all if our goal is to rebuild into a premiership contender again.. it's just papering over cracks. How about a radical approach to our list spots in that we only fill them with players who are established A-graders if we trade guys in, or young draftees with the potential to develop into A-graders and can be around playing for more than 1-2 years.. Oh and guys with skills too... This approach seems to have Worked quite well for the Hawks.
FFS, do you want us to continue with the endless dross of project players who get taken late and are then delisted and never play? Farmer, Stubbs, Ugle, Rounds, Bolton etc. We've got some players capable of stepping in now like never before.
The issue here is if we can fit them all in or use them to trade up to better picks and trades.
