Excellent

 

[Rors]

Nice.

 

[CHBench]

Longest we've held a bunch from the same draft for awhile!

 

[Saint_Dos]

Awesome news. The future is building.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Longest we've held a bunch from the same draft for awhile!

The longest we've wanted to.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Yes!!!!

 

[Superduperouzel]

Great news. All these blokes offer something to the team and are best 22 this year.

 

[Defacto]

Great news. Newnes and Ross are future captains vice captains

 

[hayes]

Good to hear. Four very important signings, all will be integral parts of our team going forward.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

Great news. Newnes and Ross are future captains vice captains

don't let Perse see this!!!

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

The start of something good!!

Great news. One assumes that the club sees potential in these lads. Good to hear that they are a tight knit bunch. It is weird talking about the new group given we have used to Roo, Kosi, Ball etc. That era is truly over. Now the kids can form their own pact and not live in the shadows of the fore mentioned players.

We forget that the retiring era was gifted to us based on years of mediocrity and other clubs cheating.

Some good points there . Most of the really strong clubs ( Syd, Hawks, Cats ) "Built" their strong teams mostly with shrewd draft pics and trades, and good inner development. Not just from bottoming out and picking up early draft pics.
Will be very interesting to see how quickly we can rebuild our list. The future is a little bit scary but exciting at the same time.

Father/son picks helped a bit as well.

Yes, the Pussys had a bit of help with the father sons rule.

 

[VDS66]

Sure is different dynamics this time around because the last lot were all #1 and #2 picks etc. So with that comes a fair bit of hype and expectation. Just goes to show that if your development program is crap, then talent doesn't count for much.

I have always had a begrudging respect for Essendon under Sheedy and how they always managed to develop well.

 

[sammm]

Father/son picks helped a bit as well.

in the next few years we will also have future father and sons.

loewe, harvey, hudgeton etc all is not lost

I'd remove the Hawks from that list, they had as many priority picks as we did.
