How do you actually validate a good deal, this is opinion based only,
Lets look at Saints full of top draft choices and failed to win a flag,
Geelong never bottomed out and won three through clever dealing and drafting.
Our own club was built on players not getting a game elsewhere,
In drafting terms:
Goodes in the 40s
Micky O was high 30s or 40s
O'Keefe was around 50
Parker 40ish
Johnson 50ish
Kirk initially a Rookie
Tadgh never played the game before
Pyke see above
And the list goes on,
So with all due respect whether its draft pick 22, 8, or whatever there is no guarantees,
Typical of Wallace, reason why he is a failed sacked coach, he still doesn't grasp this very concept.
I actually have belief Crows accept much like we did with Jolly and would have done so with ROC and will move on and all this dribble and emotional crap is media moths trying to to get their 25 seconds, and all they are doing is roping in fans who can't think their way through and see the world won't end....
