Pick 130 could be the next Robbie Gray
 
So we’re currently on track to draft 2 top 30 draft picks in a 5 year window, which might either be a record low or damn close to it, and I suspect the ones close to that were teams already winning grand finals.

Anyone actually know what the fewest top 30 draft picks in a 5 year window might be?


Also the 2 top 30 draft picks are a limited back pocket (jones) and the injury riddled sinn.



I know we’ve brought in jhf in that time but you really need to be adding much more talent than that across that time or you end up in a massive hole list wise.


We’re going to be dependent on a fair few things going right for us I think

Will we be the first team not to draft anyone? Are we obligated to pick a player or can we just not turn up?
We need to make three selections at the draft, but these can be rookie upgrades and selecting delisted players. No requirement to select a kid in the draft. Strongly suspect that will be the case given it’s likely every club will have passed before our first pick.

Or use it on the original Robbie Gray. Small forward problems solved.

What you say is certainly possible, and at the same time a drastic mistake.


for instance our very thin magpies midfield that relied on top ups to be remotely competitive (a top up player was one of our better more reliable starting centre mids lol)

and from that we’ve lost dumont and have no mids coming in.

There's always a couple who you think should have been picked up but weren't.

You look at the SA draft combine and make cases for a few players there.

Not many of these players are getting picked up.


WA state combine will be likewise.
