Do we get a trophy for that?
Or does it automatically mean there's a waterfall of players coming to the club?
No.
I hope to god, Carlton or Collingwood save some of us from the Houston recruitment.
It would be an utter waste of our only assets to make us a chance to contend for a flag.
did i cook?

Sing it louder for the people in the back...Backing our system, staying the course and trying to build a core group of players around the clear ELITE prospects we have is not sitting on our arse.
This has to be the number 1 priority.
You know what will ensure we stay shit? Spending significant draft capital and recruiting someone 8 years older than this core of players who is long retired when they peak. In a position we have invested significant draft capital ourselves the last 4 years.
I have no idea why some are so allergic to attempting to trying to develop the significant talent we have on our list. Even in these positions.
Goater and Hardeman have barely scratched the surface at the club, yet we have to bring in not 1, not 2, but 3 players (Fisher, Daniel, Houston) in this position (Not to mention our Captain players there!!!). As well as having the ability to play both Harry Sheezel and Colby McKercher there if required.
If they aren't good enough, they aren't good enough. We replace them then. We don't even know yet.
We have so many other priorities than a player of this age, in this position.
Here's another scenario - We recruit Houston and Daniel (ontop of Fisher last year).
Goater and Hardeman have complete breakout seasons, what then?
In that scenario fisher plays twos pretty simple.Backing our system, staying the course and trying to build a core group of players around the clear ELITE prospects we have is not sitting on our ass,

What about giving them elite players with big game experience and 150-200 games of nous and knowledge to learn off?
Do that but not danieldid i cook?

That would mean we have some good depth and a proper awesome half back line?Here's another scenario - We recruit Houston and Daniel (ontop of Fisher last year).

The campaigner is absolutely unhinged [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]Trading away one future pick is going to cost us a chance at a flag?...

I actually didn't think it was that bad; they slid back 9 spots and got Baker and Owies. My understanding is that in this year's drafts, there isn't a significant difference between pick 2 and 10 anyway.I think we can all agree, no matter what happens in the next couple days, at least we're not West Coast.
We missed out on the wooden spoon again, no way Brady's lets the Eagles get away with the wooden spoon of trade week.Brady right now after watching the WCE trade stealing the dumb trade trophy:

I reckon we'd play Goater, Hardeman, Houston and Daniel. All are versatile, sounds good!Goater and Hardeman have complete breakout seasons, what then?
Dan Houston isn't a lazy, one-sided, left footing mercenary like Polec.Who hear was happy about the Polec trade at the time?
I was shattered. I feel the same about getting Houston for a F1 (and maybe more).

If this was a young KPP, a young small forward or forward half player like Bolton, different story.

My brother, please do not tempt fate.I think we can all agree, no matter what happens in the next couple days, at least we're not West Coast.
Let's wait and see what he does first.West Coast must be wishing they had Brady back.
What then? Well, we'd be in an awesome position, with depth of talent and if we are 100% fit then we can even push a Goater or Hardeman up into the wing to challenge those guys for a spot.Backing our system, staying the course and trying to build a core group of players around the clear ELITE prospects we have is not sitting on our arse.

Dan Houston isn't a lazy, one-sided, left footing mercenary like Polec.
He's a dual AA with some of the best foot skills in the land.
Comparing the two is like peak Elle McPherson vs Mrs Mangles from Neighbours..
