I certainly rate your drafting and development, better than most clubs, but if you dissect it, you are still only firing at 60 ish % over the last 10 years.

He also likes being a triple Premiership player!

I agree with the sentiment. There is a fairly clear top 6 or 7. Then there is a few you could pick between 8-20.

Jye Caldwell says hello (he is very much in the top 5-8 conversation)
OK, I've reworked it here...
What do ya think?
Adelaide
in: Pick 4 (Saints), Pick 27 (Bulldogs), Pick 32 (Bulldogs)
out: Pick 8, Pick 16 and Pick 21
St Kilda
in: Pick 7 (Bulldogs), Pick 21 (Adelaide)
out: Pick 4, Pick 36
Bulldogs
in: Pick 8 (Adelaide), Pick 16 (Adelaide), Pick 36 (St Kilda)
out: Pick 7, Pick 27 and Pick 32
GWS about to give us pick 19. Here we go.

The exception to the rule but he does come with risk attached. Could be the best in the draft- could also be the next injury prone talented youngster. I hope he makes it I never like seeing talented players not make it due to their bodies not their talent.

swap pick 16 and pick 21 - ie St Kilda get 7 & 16 and Dogs get 8 & 21 and it looks about right

You'd assume that would be a future first for pick 19.

Knew it was coming... didnt think it would take as long as it did.
Couldve been 4 if he didnt shank it one year.

Agree and injury did stop him from showing off his talents this year, but he could easily become the best mid from this years draft class and that is why of the crows don't / can't trade up to get Lukosius or rankine, then most of us crows fans would be stoked to get Caldwell at pick 8

Not going to go through it all, but as far as our 1st and 2nd round selections its been around 7-8 out of 10.
The other thing is we have never had top picks to use, where other teams have managed to squander top 5 or top 10 picks.
We have 1 top 10 pick on our list and its Gibbs. There is certainly a system there that is working.
Rendell/Ogilvie and co. are a couple of few administrators that deserve credit from AFC.

Is it just a straight swap or are their swaps all over the place. I can't access Twitter at work!

Not sure if you know, but what are the MM and SM tags on the shirts?

Caldwell would be a decent get, and it's the risk you can take with multiple first rounders.
Yep. Mentions other picks will be involved.
Small midfielder. Medium midfielder. I think.
OK - I've altered the proposed deal below.
Adelaide get pick 4.
St Kilda win by getting pick 16 (swapped for pick 36).
Dogs only possibly get a win if pick 21 is before the West bid - dangerous and could backfire
Adelaide
in: Pick 4 (Saints), Pick 27 (Bulldogs), Pick 36 (St Kilda)
out: Pick 8, Pick 16 and Pick 21
St Kilda
in: Pick 7 (Bulldogs), Pick 16 (Adelaide)
out: Pick 4, Pick 36
Bulldogs
in: Pick 8 (Adelaide), Pick 21 (Adelaide),
out: Pick 7, Pick 27

Probably makes sense GWS are taking the risk I guess. Does suit them though as it spreads their selections, they have a few highly rated Academy boys next season

I use a formula, as a break even measure for recruitment (draft).
Pick 9 - 150 games
Pick 27 - 100 games
pick 54 - 50 games
Any other pick success or extra games played is what can set a recruiter apart

Set aside 2010, when you only had a 1st rounder and remove B.Crouch as he was part of the mini draft, start from 2008 and work forward. Your strike rate is still around 2/3rds if using the above formula
As I said, you do it better than most sides.
