The balance has shifted in recent years. Nobody trades for crap anymore. We haven't traded a fringe player, because no one needs to trade to get them.
This and we tried to trade out players when they'd had the value knocked out of them. We could have gotten a decent pick for Hammer, but he 'did a Lobbe', with at least the hope he might come good. For the rest there's plenty of non-crap players who would have gotten a 3rd or even 2nd round pick now able to walk out for zilch. It's trade quality, trade for NSW/QLD players so they get picks for points or wait for them to walk.
 
Parker says our defense is good enough and we'll most likely be drafting midfielders who can push forward with all four picks.

Sounds like Parker is 'once bitten twice shy' when it comes to taking tall forwards... not that we are deficient in this area ;)

Hayward
Marshall

Port's second-round picks could push back a few spots in the 30s depending on bids on the night. With one of them they might grab powerful midfielder Brandan Parfitt, who was hit by injuries this season but has played in SA and has talent. He will be in the mix for Port. Others who could be looked at in the 30s range include medium defenders Sam Walker and Mitchell Hinge, both from South Australia, while Dylan Clarke is also a possibility if still available. Clarke is a hard-working clearance machine with a brilliant running stamina that gets him from one end of the ground to the other. Port is another club who may consider Luke Ryan from the VFL, while they have shown some interest in Bailey Banfield but perhaps as a rookie.

Port spinning the bottle - I like it

100% tuning into the draft podcast to hear the melts if thats the case. Those picks are not ideal :/

Ignoring everything he said for who we are into for the rest of our picks (here are two SA names and a mature age that port talked to)
I'd be content with that at "14/17"
 
I'd be happy with 1 of those 2 with our first 2 picks, not both though. Think I'd rather Hayward over Marshall at this stage.

I get the feeling that with all the uncertainty from pick 1 onwards, these phantoms are a complete crap shoot this year especially by the time you get to the teens. Clubs seem to be preparing for a range of players being available at their pick rather than just having a plan A and plan B. So we're getting this drip feed of possibilities from different sources depending on what particular scenario happened to be discussed.
