How did Nick Riewoldt and Goddard go for us?
You don't give away the best 18 y.o player in Australia for 4&7.
If we don't get what we want I am happy to pick up Petracca.
I get that (4/6/7 in that draft was HORRIBLE)
But the talent identification is getting better. There are much more better players in the top 10 going. Plus, your own development comes into play. jack watts would be a star if not for Melbourne's inability to develop a young player. For every star #1, there are 2 duds.
Plus, we aren't doing a freo and trading it for mature players. We are trading it for other picks. How do we not know that we aren't set on #1 and rate the top few pretty closely...
Drafting is hit and miss. More tickets in the draw, the better
