The offer for Pick 1 is too much and still not as good as North’s offer (which I think Eagles will take a version of closer to draft night).

I don’t think it matters who we’d be planning to pick at 6 or 11 or any of the other picks, it would be staking too many good picks on a single player when there’s never any guarantee pick 1 turns out to be the best player in the draft.

No risk no reward
 
We've had some pearlers.

The year Tony Campbell came back fat was worse.
Jake Spencer was a very limited footballer

But if you consider the hype then the Cockatoo-Collins brothers take the cake

Damien Gasper and Chris Heffernan easily the worst if you want to talk about hype for me.

I never really heard people talk about the CC's highly.
 
Corey Wagner now Oscar... Fremantle....

David was the compensation pick for losing Jason Norrish, there was a lot of hype at the time.

Gasper is a good nomination, he was around the time when we were clearly the best for having the worst brother

Luke Ottens another brother that sucked.

I never rated Norrish. Seems a decent lose/lose trade.
 
The Phil Gilbert for Jeff Farmer trade that same offseason more than made up for it.
 
If anyone actually watched Gillies at Geelong they would have had zero expectations 😂
Still laughing about that article where Gillies said he could have played the Brian Lake role in Hawthorn's flags if it weren't for Chris Scott denying him a trade.
 
What planet have you been living on? We have been talking about McKercher for months, seems to me you know nothing about him and just read a report comparing him to Gulden today. 😂

Can you link me the reports where it’s been mentioned? I haven’t seen any.

When I say “mentioned” I mean by credible sources, not blokes on bigfooty.

I'm not going back thru the thread to find the many many posts , you can find it yourself, we talked about McKercher and Duursma a tonne.

We all love them both.

And here I was thinking my months-long campaign for McKercher counted for something :(
 
Meaningless cliche.

there is significant reward on offer for picking the right players at 6 and 11 and in the first round next year.

Can’t recall many examples of top 8 sides needing to sell a bunch of good draft picks to get pick 1 in order to win a flag.
Whilst I agree with what you're saying not sure the pick 1 example works, the club with it are way to scared to trade it ever so it's never been able to be proven.

What I will say is If we are gonna win the flag in the next 2 years, we'd win it without Reid he won't be a difference maker.

3 good picks is too much for me, one player doesn't have any impact on any team worth that much.

For all the expected scores and inside 50 bullshit Collingwood didn't even have Nick Daicos when they beat us

Fair enough, my point to old mate was you can say “no risk no reward” to justify just about any position when it comes to the draft.

Either trading for a pick or keeping what you have and backing yourself to get a star player could be the “risk” that brings the reward.

Maybe we should close our eyes and pick a player at random at 6. “No risk no reward”.

I agree, I'd actually say the bigger risk would be giving up two top 11 picks and potentially a top 10 picks for probably our strongest area of the ground
 
Good catch up on the situation with reports from Twomey and Clark

Surprised that old mate believes its McKercher the Eagles want if they are trading Reid, so very real chance Curtin could be available at our pick if thats the case
