Yes, and Johnson is the perfect draftee with Cerra and Mundy needing replacements. Lady Luck was with us. Very happy with the bounty.Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I sincerely hope so Ms MoneypennyBird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
I’m not sure you would need a war chest for either of those 2.Just listened to that Footy Rhino podcast, sounds like we are putting together a warchest to lure someone over in the next two years. It's most likely Neale but I reckon we might have a crack at Bolton for 2023.
Was a great listen. Salary cap room has become the new asset class in the last 3 years. It enabled us to trade a future second (around the 30 mark) to Gold Coast for Will Brodie and Pick 19 (Matt Johnson).Just listened to that Footy Rhino podcast, sounds like we are putting together a warchest to lure someone over in the next two years.

Buddy Franklin will look good in purple. Can't think of any other Perth-originating key forwards at Sydney this forum wanted in recent drafts Will be the new Hogan every trade period won't he?The warchest is for a Perth Demons player, via Sydney.

I haven’t given up hope on 2018 trade and draft period yet. Yes Hogan was a bust, Lobb is serviceable if he can stay on the park and Sturt and Valente could still prove good pickups, Bewely was a speculative pick anyway so not a lot lost there, Schultz is a ripper!You have to remember we lost ground in the 2018 draft, brought in Hogan, Lobb, Sturt, Valente, Schultz, Bewley… not a great haul. We’ve managed to trade and acquire Jordan Clark who was drafted that year. But We lost ground on most other clubs.
Fortunately we were probably the most successful in 2016 and even 2017 was decent.

I think this will be viewed as a superdraft in years to come.A remarkable trade looking back.
Yeah I'm peeved we didn't grab Horne-Francis.I think this will be viewed as a superdraft in years to come.
My only gripe was that I would like to have picked up Bazzo + Howes as well.
Really only the Hogan trade. It just didn’t work out and we paid a high price. If makes you feel any better the third round pick we acquired to dump Hogan’s salary enabled Mundy to stay on in 2021 and the pick was used to select NGA B.

What if Jackson was available?Really only the Hogan trade. It just didn’t work out and we paid a high price. If makes you feel any better the third round pick we acquired to dump Hogan’s salary enabled Mundy to stay on in 2021 and the pick was used to select NGA B. Walker.
We really need to stay away from these high priced trades. I consider the Lobb and Wilson trades as a similar trade price range to Clark and I’m fine with these. But top 5-7 pick trades and more are just too high risk for mine.
All fair points but I was myself seeking to balance the argument. Not all that she rated turned to gold.Sibosado could really play. I watched him a fair bit in the WAFL. Kid could see the game & kick it like very few. I thought he looked easily up to the level in his one AFL match but revealed the problem by being gassed after a quarter or so.
Like a few of the muso mob from around Beagle Bay I’ve worked with lack of talent was definitely not the problem.
More that they come down here in Winter & start getting homesick for warm weather & turtle fishing. They’ve got a point. Not everyone has got the desire to run around in the freezing cold past the pain barrier.
But I wouldn’t knock Quayle for identifying him as a real talent.

Source?He is staying. He loves it in Sydney, they have offered him a deal but he will hold out - knowing we will force Sydney to up their price. But is very happy there and doesn’t want to come home.

As we know only to well with our drafting history, talent is only half the story. That indefinable drive for excellence and innate competitiveness also has to be part of the equation for an above average AFL player.
From what my daughter tells me - and she is friends with Luke’s brother that is a pipe dream.What if Jackson was available?
We couldn’t have got Horne-Francis but Bazzo + Howes were real gettable on top ofYeah I'm peeved we didn't grab Horne-Francis.
