Pick v Established Player

[parrot]

Meyer, you don't even know his name.

And how do you know that Moloney is better, Meyer is at least 3 years his junior, I say let the trade play out and see what happens, instead of bagging the kid just because of another. 2 1st round picks for a player who wanted out is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Molony was ordinary before the Dees got him, and still is. Meyer was just your regulation TW draft clanger - there's a litany of them now at Tigerland.

Moloney is not ordinary, he'd slot into the blues midfield anytime.

Not close. The reason why the Cats got rid of him, was his temperment - he folds under pressure. Some say he cost the Cats a finals series. His skills aren't that crash hot either. He's a serviceable midfielder, but not much more. Would probably be the #2 Tiges midfielder though.

iacobucci was a complete draft disaster. Who has been in charge of the Pies list management over the past 5 years? Some serious questions need to be answered. Something to reflect on during your 4-year bottom-4 tenure.

Would you prefer your club to trade an unwanted player for 1st round draft pick or an established 22 year old player?

The established player is a better choice as a draft pick (even a first round) would be a gamble.

I would prefer to trade for two second round picks over two years for a player, if only draft picks were offered.

Here is an interesting article from NFL.com writer Gil Brandt on draft values. Also has a chart with draft values used by a (un-named) NFL team. Definitely worth checking out as I feel the AFL draft system mirrors the NFL version.

You know the way I feel about Iacobucci, so that is not really a fair comparison. But, as for the bottom 4 tenture, we will not fall that low because there will always be teams like yours worse than us to cushion our fall.

See, coming from a fan of a team that has won 3 wooden spoons in the past 5 years, I'm not too worried.

And I don't think we'll be firing anyone over the failure of a #55 draft pick...

I would say it really depends on wo the established player is.
If your team is coming into good form, take the pick give him a couple of years to become a good player.
You could also get a young established player, that would be a little better because you would have seen him play more and you could see what he can do.
