I think it would make a great long term strategy. Teams were getting a small upgrade in exchange for a future second rounder last year.
Traded Brisbane trade #16, #52, #55, and #72 to Port Adelaide for #29, #71 and 2020 R1 Pick

Teams overate their chances the following year, Most will say they will make the finals and very few will say they will be bottom 3.
Unless your the New England Patriots, nobody is way superior in spotting talent but recruiters overrated their ability to draft.
If a team is willing to play the long game, they could use these bias against other teams.
West Coast allowed the Suns to overpay cleaned up.

I think the real wash up would be 12,16,18 and Mead F/S....... I believe that was the real reason for the trade.

Howard? Are you referring to the bloke who just got lapped at St Kilda's time trial?

Howard would be your best defender and I'm not even kidding.

If the Suns get anymore South Australians, they'd be better off relocating to SA

Why? If they are good and available to be draft GCS just draft them.

If most of your team is from SA, may as well move your head office down here to save on flights

Howard is a mighty fine player. Very underrated.

I'm not saying he is not a "mighty fine player". I'm saying he is currently unfit and not considerably better than Weitering or Jones. To suggest he would comfortably be our best defender is an absurd statement

Not going into it with you, but being unfit in November doesn't exactly equate to not being a good player.
You believe what you like.
Probably not to be honest. I believe he is rated as a good second round prospect. If team wanted to use there first pick on him then so be it.
Yes I also think this and was disappointed to see him traded.

I see modern debate has reached the pinnacle. It's all Trump from here
Your credibility & overall football nous just took a massive nosedive right there.

Working in the cloud. I like it!
Good trade for both parties given the likely reasons that prompted it.
Port could well be a top 6 team this coming season. Key young players have another years experience and from a quick look, they have a soft draw.

No chance
You robbed them good
