We’re still only a decade into the free agency era. I don’t there’s enough empirical data to create a general trend on overall list composition, other than hitting the draft hard in the early stages of a rebuild has been a common theme in a number of contending teams - which we’ve done.
Most successful sides (Eg Hawthorn, Richmond) still had a fair portion of their squad traded in, we’re only debating what amounts to and what is likely to amount to a higher percentage of recruits from other clubs.
That being said guys like Newman, Pittonet, Newnes, Kennedy, Setterfield and Fogarty are probably less likely to be in our best 22 when the squad is at its peak. You an include them in our team for now, because they’re currently best 22 players, but when the club would be expecting to challenge I can’t imagine many being included. That could very well be the same for someone like Plowman, and McGovern is obviously been disappointing to this point of time and 50/50 to make it either forward or back.
IMO a lot of spots in our best 22 are going to be taken up by guys we’ve brought in from 2018 onwards via the draft. Walsh, Stocker, Kemp, Philp, Honey, Durdin, Carroll.
