I've been seeing a lot of healthy discussion lately around our list management, and more specifically the lack of indigenous players on our list. I thought it might be useful to gather information on the last 10 years of Bulldogs trade/draft history to get an overview of where we may potentially have gone wrong, and whether this is truly the "fault" of recruiting staff, or simply a coincidence. I will post some of my own thoughts below, and leave it up for discussion.
