Taking high ceiling guys in the mid-late 2nd round is fine.

I would worry about it more if it was a top 10 pick.

Sustained success for us from here is going to come from bringing in guys who can be brought up to speed on our system quickly and be ready to play a role.

Drafting for guys who learn fast and have the physical attributes to play a role at AFL level would be my criteria. Also not going to be put out by being a lesser light for a while

Austin also hasn't had the 'luxury' of high draft picks since he arrived. Ollie being the exception at pick 11 a few years back.

The rest have basically been picks in the mid 2nd round or later - Motlop at #27, Cow at #30, Binns at #32, Moir at #29, Billy at #34, Durds at #37, Carroll at #41, Lem at #47.

Even this year, we may end up shifting our 1st round pick for points.

TBH, I do have a slight concern that we're not getting that top end talent coming in right now, and a number of our youngsters are more speculative than locks going forward. The last thing you want is to be caught in no man's land for years like a St.Kilda or Essendon.

I guess that’s a strength of Austin

Where he took Ollie, Cowan, Binns, I would have looked at different players, but said at the time at all 3 boys had a higher floor

Really interested how his drafting unfolds

The Bedford/Daniels/Jones combo looks impressive

It would be great to add another quick, X factor small forward this year but they are rare

Missed an opportunity to go after an X Factor small forward by not going after Liam Henry. He's the one SOS bid on in his draft year but failed to get him. As a small forward looks the goods, but SOS got his way last year.

Moving on Gresham for first round compensation was a good SOS move.
Sometimes you have to be prepared to roll the dice.
Think there was another senior player traded also to attain a decent draft pick?

He isn’t really a small forward but. Could probably play Fogarty or Cottrell’s role but looks better in a role where he can hunt the ball abit

We actually got out of Rogers tenure alright with Doc, Cripps and Jones from his two seasons.
If you look at our list in 2016, it was already in a really good spot after SOS’s first season.
SPS, Dow and LOB picks hurt us plus SOS chasing Kennedy and Setterfield to put next to Cripps when running power was becoming more important set us back a couple of years. Had we succeeded in getting Shiel after bombing out in the 16 and 17 drafts I would hate to know where we might have been right now.

The facts make your post inaccurate.
SoS= Newman, Cottrel, Pittonet, Dekonig, Owies, Cunningham
SoS wasn't gifted Mckay and Curnow, he traded players out for picks, to attain them.
Kennedy is a vital player in our set up.
Our list was far from set in 2016.
The criticism of SoS that he missed on Obrien, Dow, SPS sets the bar ridiculously high where he would have had to nail every pick to be considered a success. Instead, you should thank him for answering the clubs call in its hour of need

4 of our 5 best players were on our list in 2016. The other core player who our list is built around (Walsh) we found with pick 1 a few years later. With the amount of assets he had between 2016 and 2019 I’d say that part of his tenure was poor. I think his starting draft hand would’ve been something like 1,3,3,5,19,21,21 and 23 plus Gibbs and Touhy as trade bait.
We got TDK, Walsh and some role players.

Our list is in a very good spot so SOS done his job.
