    Don't worry, I've done it for you.

    List Mgmt. 2018 Draft Day Thread

    The "good vfl player who won't make it in the afl" gets bandied about here a lot. Most of this board were saying it about gowers earlier in the year. Sure, hayes might not make it, but give him a chance at AFL level before dubbing him below AFL quality. Honestly, if Hayes was on our list this...

    We can certainly agree on Melbourne. The same approach clearly worked for them extremely well up until 2015. While they haven't won a final since, I think they would've been much worse without the players they've brought in since 2015. The net cost of Mitchell, JOM, Vickery and Impey was less...

    It's hard to see the genius when you hide it in two words describing the Mitchell trade, then go on to write multiple sentences about unknowns at this stage (Wingard and Scully). They've traded in a bloke for pick 14, and in two seasons he's played one excellent season and then won a brownlow...

    It's a shame to not get Wingard or someone of his ilk, but this time last year, it was a shame we missed out on lever for two first round picks and a huge salary. Personally though, I'd now take Naughton, pick 7 and cap space over lever. In fact, I'd take Naughton alone over lever.

    They're like a putter in an origami factory- a folding club.

    Yes, it would be. I don't think it was the use of the word failure that got so many of us up in arms- it was the associated bashing of power and the club by some posters, not you.

    Sorry, only got this far in and got bored. Have you got a summary of your post?

    If that's the way you're seeing it, then we really aren't seeing the situation all that differently- it didn't work out so we should have another go. Others who have had a go at power/the club and called them incompetent seem to have taken it too far. If failure is supposed to be a chance to...

    We probably did try to sell that. I'm sure we would've also mentioned our young group of guns. Then hawthorn probably sold "we've won 4 of the last 11 premierships", finished 3rd on the ladder and have a lot of members. Chad had two good options in front of him and picked one of them. That's not...

    What's wrong with him saying that? It didn't make us any more or less likely to get Wingard. The club had a go. Wingard chose a different club, which was always a possiblity when he had multiple offers. The same thing happens to every other club that misses out on a player. If we had never...

    Dahlhaus has proven ability, and the club offered him a contract, just like they're doing with libba. Libba has only had one bad season. Other than that, he's had two ACLs and several good seasons. It's the several good seasons that are saving him- not the injuries.

    Yep, it would count. If the bid came at 15, he will be pick 15 in the draft.

    Dahl, Adams and a third rounder for pick 12. I know there's more to it in terms of contracts and clubs generally being poorly compensated for losing players, but that's a strange dream. We'd be lucky if the player we take at pick 12 ends up as good as either Dahlhaus or Adams, let alone both and...

    We'll finally have a stringer replacement.
