In the 2010 national draft with pick 6, do you wish you had one of Dion Prestia, Tom Lynch, Josh Caddy or were you happy getting Reece Conca?
In hindsight, it would've been great having either Prestia or Lynch be a Tiger as early as 2010 but would've they thrived as a Tiger though during the early to mid 2010s.
- With Lynch, him and Jack would've formed one of the most dominant KPF duo for the whole decade even becoming an upgrade on Kennedy and Darling or Lynch could've ended up like Vickery or Griffiths as Lynch developed being Gold Coast's number one KPF and Lynch going to the Tigers in 2010 may have stifled his development as Jack and Vickery were the main targets although Lynch may have pushed Vickery to play as the main ruckman so Lynch and Jack will be the KPF targets. I reckon if Vickery goes as the full time ruck then Lynch and Jack would've worked out in 2010, Jack will put up the same numbers as he does today and Lynch will put out good numbers, probably similar when he was at Gold Coast in this timeline.
- Prestia would've shined as a Tiger and may have improved your ladder position during the H&A season around 2011-2016 (may have to bottom out in 2016 to get Tom Lynch though).
- Not sure about Caddy though.
- Conca was the right choice at the time but injuries curtailed his career and he could've been a star, won a club B&F and multiple AAs if he stayed fit.
Best case scenario (In hindsight).
You draft Prestia with pick 6 and little to nothing much change from 2011-2015. Bottom out in 2016 to get the high draft pick needed for Tom Lynch from the Suns and he becomes a THREE or even four time premiership player. I can guarantee you'll beat Adelaide by a lot more in the 2017 Grand Final if you got him. 2018 prelim is still a question mark but having another Lynch alongside greatly helped Jack as their only KPDs on the day are Goldsack, Howe and Langdon so Dusty would've gotten a better match up forward with Langdon as his opponent as Howe would've been forced to play on Jack but I don't think you would've been able to stop Cox's rampage as he was in gun form and he got great delivery and your defense didn't block his leading space or put body on him which allowed him to run and jump and mark with ease. 2019 and 2020 would pan out the same though with back to back flags.
I know plenty of things will change via the Butterfly effect but I won't get into that.
