I can't believe how giving up our first rounders for the next 2 years is going to help us build a premiership winning side.
Marchbank has been injury prone already and we have NOT had trouble with KPFs. He is not a huge priority for us to be giving up our first rounder.
JOM is a massive risk. To give up our second this year and our first next year (In what is rated to be an elite draft at the top end) is just stupid. If we judge it based on what JOM is capable of, then it could be worth it but with his knee issues it's too much of a risk.
I would definitely steer clear from giving away our first two picks this year and next year's first LOL we'll practically be absent from the drafts.
I hear you but...
Melbourne went on the youth train, by that I mean only take picks in the draft which built a list with 15 players under 21 in there starting side for 2 years. That built a losing culture...
We are not about that. We have to find the 21-23 year olds that will take our youngsters with them, a balanced listed age wise will create culture and a winning feeling.
Is there an O'Meara in this draft, or a weitering or even a Parish????
No.
That's 3 picks done so what's available after that.
Like a said, IF he passes the medical with flying colors, we have a once in a generation player, full stop...
