Yes, that's probably the more accurate way of putting it. In essence, a known afl exposed quantity will generally see a better return than the lottery of the draft. Generally. So, trading is really the low-risk approach. The Hawks cottoned onto this a while back, whether that was by accident or design I'm not sure. It's a shame the 2 in 4 rule didn't come in a decade ago, as we would've avoided a Hawthorn 3peat I'm certain.
