Ill wear 2 as possibly irrelevant.
But 3 and 4 are very relevant.
Lets take the Anderson trade. 15 looks a lot right. But we are dealing with Bris who need points. We got 38 and 40 with Anderson. Points wise thats equal to pick 21. And who has 21 ...... Bris.
Any team not exploring the possibility of working with academy clubs this year is missing half of the trade period.
To blow you mind:
Lets say Aish goes to Bris and they get 26 in there from you.
Do you realise Basti, 38, 40, 43 for 17,21
is better for Bris than
Basti for 26
??
Thats todays landscape, clubs need to adapt quickly!
I realise that....do you realise Collingwood second rounders in the 20s are also greater than your 40s picks?
Not to mention our plethora of second rounders can not only secure them academy products but also the experienced guys they are chasing and one who is a certainty to get there, Tom Bell.
