It is absolutely imperative that we find a genuine small pressure goal kicking forward in the draft. Not a Polson, not a Darcy Lang, not a Michael Gibbons. A small forward.
The Martin trade was a balls up, you pay for quality. We now open up the chance of another team taking him.
Having no alternative plans in place when we all knew that the Daniher trade wasn't looking good is an indictment on SOS. Pure and simple

I wanna, but the last 20 years have beaten me down
Just start whistling. You’ll feel better.
Matty Owies would be doing cartwheels this morning.......
Had some great VFL form considering it was his first year or footy
Wouldn’t hurt to learn off the greatest small forward of the modern area either!

lots of wishful thinking going on mate
The alternative is being St Kilda. Considered A+ for picking up 4 B-C graders at best and absolutely selling the farm for one player who is making $900k now to finish a solid 6-10.
I know what list I'd rather.

Who teague had to basically get on his knees and beg for.
It's a position that SOS simply doesn't wan't to expend resources on improving. You only need to look at the top 8 this year (apart from the giants who SOS built) to see how important small forwards are.
Sydney were never going to let Papley go if they weren't guaranteed of getting JD so I wouldn't be beating yourselves up on that one. I think you needed to get the Martin deal done though. Most likely he stays now for 12 months and then explores free agency next year, can't see him nominating for either draft. You'd be a chance to get him then but he was linked to Essendon last year and the doggies were also keen, plus the WA clubs will go hard at him also. Good luck for next season.

Don't think we're in the position to criticise them. They identified needs, found the players, and most importantly they got the deals done. Sure they overpaid for Hill, but that's the game. Eagles overpaid for Kelly, the pies with Treloar, the Dons with Shiel.

for all we know papely dumps his gf next year and stays in sydney forever. can't bank on anything happening next year.
The silver lining though is that small forwards usually have an impact very quickly so it's not beyond realms of possibility that we draft the best small forward available this year with 9 and that guy forms a good partnership playing second fiddle to eddie.
Cue for SOS to use 9 on a key defender.
Ok. Things didn’t go to plan last night so we buckle up and go again. We will add players, particularly small forwards, through other means.
PSD - Martin
DFA - ? (Bennell - Eddie influence)
Pick 9 - would get best small forward available (or split the pick if we think we can get the player cheaper)
The National draft & rookie draft (small forwards from VFL/WAFL/SANFL etc).
We move on..

Yeah things didn't go as planned but I am extremely confident we will get Martin for nothing in the PSD (after not getting Coniglio or Papley we have salary cap to burn) and we will get a pretty handy player at 9 (or we could still turn 9 into 14 & 17 from the Cats).
I will say the list of ITK posters that I take to the bank got a little smaller this trade period, only Barrass70 enhanced his reputation.
I’d suggest we need a forward line that’s capable of kicking a lot more goals. Lots of room for improvement with the players on the list.
They literally took anyone who would go there.....

So your saying he would rather sign with the GC (the club he doesn't want to play for) than risk going to either GC (why sign if they will pick him up on a massive wage in the PSD), Melb (wants to come to Victoria and its not the GC, tick) or Carlton (the club he nominated, tick)? makes sense

Is martin a small fwd? well there you go, didn't realise he was (or are all aborigine players small fwds?)
We have the National draft and rookie drafts to get as many small fwds as the nuffies want - or do small fwds have to be 22yr+and not 18?
What pick was eddie betts when we drafted him?
Betts is a nice addition but Butler was the big prize? Never has a player's stocks risen as fast as Dan Butler post trade period.
