100% this. It's a speculative pick. People are bestowing Chris Grant status on Charlie Dean before he has even played a single AFL game. The club clearly prioritised a coaching appointment over a speculative rookie pick. Given the effect the change in coaching staff has had on the group so far that could still prove to be a wise decisionThere are always the odd gem found in the rookie draft, but history suggests they are more likely to be a Will Gayfer than an Aaron Davey.
I have no idea if we made the right call passing up Charlie Dean, but our recruitment team obviously doesn’t rate him highly or else we would have taken him with a late ND or rookie pick, considering our need for another KPD.

Nope, another 25 blokes got picked after 79 before his name got called out!Chris grant was actually a speculative pick - think 79
Was raised in the Paul Roos thread but surely we use some of his funds on lynch thus not having to take up a rookie spotAnyway surely we all agree that our player development has been severely lacking for most of this century? The club's addressing it in a left-field way, I reckon we should be pretty pleased.

Pick 105 apparently, with another 5 taken as preselection's before the draft.Nope, another 25 blokes got picked after 79 before his name got called out!
For every gun pick up in the arse end of the draft there's 100 blokes who never left oblivion.100% this. It's a speculative pick.

What's it say about how high they rated this KPD crop this year, Dean one of them, if we lack some depth in that area and STILL didn't pick one. Probably because the ones available were no good.100% this. It's a speculative pick. People are bestowing Chris Grant status on Charlie Dean before he has even played a single AFL game.

Yep, they pay off sometimes. Eg. Cam Zurhaar rookie draft and Nick Larkey, late ND I think. But mainly, they don't.Chris grant was actually a speculative pick - think 79
Yep. Tom Lynch's coaching might be the difference in winning a flag vs not. I see it as a creative way of landing a key appointment. His coaching might be more of a known quantity than the potential of players in the rookie draft.Anyway surely we all agree that our player development has been severely lacking for most of this century?

Nice, Dogs got a lot of decent out of contract players
I was standing on the outer wing next to Sam mitchell and David hale and our game last Friday arvo
I like that Luffy has the knocks out
Ideally we continue to follow Brisbane's path and have a 14th-16th place finish with a really healthy percentage. Bank another early draft pick, trade out 2023 R1 pick for something in this years draft and then shoot up to top 4 in 2023.
From a birds eye perspective i can see the value we have extracted from placing last, but as soon as we are playing in the season proper I'll be hoping tp win every game we play which is how I've always followed the team.I hope we win as many games as we can in 2022. I'm not sure there will be many victories= 4 points. We're a young side and should we salute 8-10 times that would be massive.
I rode the spoon last season and the thought of doing that again makes me feel a tad uneasy. I think we will be around the bottom end of the ladder, but heck I'm prepared/hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
