We gave up pick 6 - 1751 pts and our 2018 2nd rnd pick currently 33 - 563 pts. We got Prestia and pick 24 - 785 pts.
(1751 + 563) - 785 = 1529 which is about pick 8.
I think we payed more for Prestia but your right and he has had a few niggles and a history of Injury, which should have meant we got him cheaper. Mitchell has been better but I hope Prestia can get to another level to justify our investment in him. Also note that if we weren't having such a good season this year our we would've been coughing up a better 2nd pick further increasing the cost of attaining Prestia (and most expected us to miss finals).
All that is the reason why I'd like to know if we ever had a chance for Mitchell or if he was determined to get to the Hawks. Even if we couldn't get him I still think we payed overs to Gold Coast.
Pretty sure Mitchell wanted to get to the Hawks .
