It was. Still delisted/paid out while contracted though - as some have argued Hamill should be due to his concussion issues

And yet you keep ignoring the fact our list is full with a complete lack of flexibility. No chance to take a rookie. No chance of picking up a delisted player. No chance to pick up a fourth player who might have slid past our pick 20.
How many games Hamill miss with injury in 2023?
Of course you’re fine with what the club has decided, you have complete faith in their decisions. As for wasted energy, you spent a lot of posts trying to support their judgement….come to think of it, you do that a lot
How do we compare to other clubs in this space?
What are other clubs list numbers looking like heading into this period, who is our benchmark?
Hard to find another club in our phase that has similar list demographic and picks available.
Someone with a better memory than me can probably find an example from the last 5 years of a team that did this well?
Did they nail the draft - kept their picks / moved up or down - great trades in or out - got the lot pretty much spot on?
We do seem to be locked in, I mean the fact that people are saying we did exactly what was expected might be seen as lack of options.
Is being predictable with a restricted path forward in this space a good sign?
As far as list management of club champs … Absolutely would love Sloane to have put his hand up as the SANFL captain-coach type and taken the lowest acceptable pay day and a rookie spot. Maybe he is needed for a single AFL game or so to give someone a rest / injury cover. Talk about club legend status confirmed.
Unfortunately, that is not our club culture yet. That is not entirely Sloane’s fault, we should have told him … Rory would not see the forest for the trees when it comes to his own contract, never has.
I’ll just be glad to see him relegated down the pecking order in 2024, not an automatic selection. Fingers crossed.
I am sure they would love me if I put a bet on West Coast to finish higher than bottom 3. Free money for them

Leake is a good size, can he play midfield? 
Would be a decent selection then
We’ve got 3 picks happy with any of below (do feel Goad is a necessity though)
Wilson
De Mattia
Tholstrup
Goad
Leake
O’Sullivan
That’s why I’m keen on Tholstrup a beast who’ll be that enforcer in the midfield

Yep can do and has doneLeake is a good size, can he play midfield?
On second thoughtsImagine Derwayne on commentary... "Tholstrup to Thilthorpe.... Crazy good"
I am sure you could find some great odds for West Coast to not finish bottom 2 if you are so confident they won't.

The point is, it might be very likely, but not guaranteed.
A 90% chance of a fair deal and 10% chance of a disaster, is not a fair deal.
I'm not sure I'd call 12 +18 (after academy) + f1(12ish) for a f1(top 2) fair. That's an awesome deal.
North have offered 2 + 19 for pick 1 this year and Melbourne offered 7 + 13 + f1(16ish). Both were knocked back.
And, the worst it would likely get would be our future pick being 10 and theirs 4. 10 + 12 + 18 for 4 isn't that bad. The Bulldogs gave up 13 + 21 + f1(11ish) for pick 4 this year.
So, if there was a 90% chance of an awesome deal and a 10% chance of an ever so slightly overs outcome . . .

Or if we fall in a heap, we could give up 4, 10 and 14 for 10.
Happy to give you 10 to 1 odds that the Weagles won't finish 6 spots above us on the ladder..

I won't get those odds outside of some on this board.

10-1 means that we're not getting enough to cover our risk in a trade then

So effectively, there's a 1 in 10 chance that this turns out to be the worst trade ever made?

Best case is us giving up 10, 14, 18 for 1. 3541 points for 3000, but still probably a good deal for a pick 1 premium. Trouble is, every other case is worse. And the downside is very large. Even if you don't think it's likely.
