Unless Salem is there.
But it's unlikely either are there let alone both.
Needs isnt really an issue 'MATE' - Just that when you post something the general idea is for people to be able to read it - Otherwise defeats the purpose of posting it !
Easy to increas the size of the Font - Thats if you can be bothered ofcourse but hope it doesnt put you out too much
Also doesnt help when you get too cocky
Don't agree with that. The players are of different shapes and sizes with different traits. I would be seriously surprised if all players are all paying 200+ games at the ssame level.
Put it this way. Assume you are right and all players have the same level of performance. Based on that they can't be equal because some players are more important to the structure and how they fit in the team and what we need.
Frankly, I haven't seen thorough videos yet so I have no real idea how good each are but I can already tell some players should be more effective and suitable for us than others based on what we need to improve as a club!!

I think you might be overly influenced by last year. Firstly , last year had more depth and therefore more risk of slippage. It also had the high quality ruck anomoly where they can slide like the WC guy before. We were lucky Vlastuin got to us IMO really. Grundy getting to the Pies was just insane but have to remember rucks can be treated a little different because clubs draft and trade for them differently. Still some clubs will be happy with what they got atm , eg Port with Wines etc.. but I am very happy we got V despite Grundy slipping because I think V is a cut above.
The other thing is we are a bit more complete team now and as a result naturally require to be a bit more selective ideally putting the final pieces together particularly if the players are fairly even as you suggest.
The chance for slippage this year like last year would be more remote after last year and the scrutiny of selections as a result of last year probably higher.
Honestly, I don't think the quality of the likes of V will be there at pick 18 or so and clubs will most likely weed out the sheep from the goats and what remains at the end will most likely be at the end for a reason including the identified risks of those selections.
Just hope our recruiters can identify another talent that is a cut above!!
Because you are trading for mediocrity IMO. Mediocrity doesn't cut it in GF's and you can only fit 22 players in your GF team. The point is , without knowing too much about the players , based on some of the comments, and the fact the depth has been questioned, there is a good chance pick 12 will be clearly better than 18 and 25. So with pick 12 you have a good chance of getting a 200+gamer that can win you a premiership, picks 18-25 you have a reasonable chance of ending up with a handy player and a dud!!
When you worry about quantity remember, this is not the last draft, there will be draft opportunities in 2014, 2015 etc.. some with better prospects so no need to gamble now. Our window is not closing at all, hopefully it will open in the future!!
I agree with you in theory, but in reality, how would the club really know with any confidence who will be gone by 12, and who will be there still at 18. That's the big flaw (or risk, at least), in the strategy.
