Equally, you wouldn't have Martin or Cotchin without top 5 picks.People overrate draft picks so much.

We had cap space to chase brad crouch and hogan so I’d say we could pay that. We also have a lot of draft capital this year to either bring in a big fish or refresh on the run. So 700k can be doneNo way Richmond can pay in close 700k, leaving he will gain an extra million over 3 years and have the luxury of a longer contract.
Very true. We did well with our early picks after ******* them up for years.Equally, you wouldn't have Martin or Cotchin without top 5 picks.
Are they? I don't reckon clubs are too keen to trade good players for "lucky dip" picks.People are quick to want to get rid of known qualities for lucky dip picks too often as well on the other hand
Talking fans mate not people who get paid to do itAre they? I don't reckon clubs are too keen to trade good players for "lucky dip" picks.
The reality is that if a team is to have success, they have likely had some early picks and have nailed them. That is still the best single predictor of success.
What about Collingwood?Talking fans mate not people who get paid to do it

I was referring to some of their recent trades. They might be examples of what you're talking about but done by the clubs not the fans.Went all in for a flag and missed

Conversely, we traded 6 and 23 for Hogan which became B.King and somebody else can't remember who. Anecdotes aren't useful, you need to dig a lot deeper and do some proper analysis.People overrate draft picks so much. Look at Bolton’s draft he is top 5 from that draft class and arguably top 3, competing with McCluggage and Taranto. That draft class was a really good one so most years if you looked back you would have him to 3.
I remember when we recruited Prestia people were saying he wasn’t worth pick 6 ect, which was actually the same year. GC picked Will Brodie who is a flop (one of the only misses I might add).
Im confident Bolton will stay and may be lured home eventually as a free agent, but I’d he did go then talk of 15-20 is well off.

Also consider that approximately 99% of players in the league were drafted, including all the elite players and a good portion come from the top 10.
TLDR: There is a reason you don't see players traded for two top 5 picks (after Judd), because it doesn't add up on average.
Also, he easily gets pick ~10 + change if traded this year.
Was that Peter Bells first list management brain fart?Conversely, we traded 6 and 23 for Hogan which became B.King and somebody else can't remember who. Anecdotes aren't useful, you need to dig a lot deeper and do some proper analysis.
I said he would be a top 10 pick + change.Right so you can get a King at 6, but for every king there is probably two Brodie’s. My point is if a young kid at 22 is plying awesome footy and getting BOG’s he is worth a top 10 pick. There is a long line of failed picks, while there are obviously also successes. Bolton is a success and would be top 5 easily from his strong draft, so why wouldn’t he be a top 10 pick.
Can't remember if Lobb was done first. Certainly one of the first couple.Was that Peter Bells first list management brain fart?
West coast need to have a serious crack at this bloke, our first rounder and a decent player
We can't trade our first-rounder.West coast need to have a serious crack at this bloke, our first rounder and a decent player
We need to be ruthless and trade one of our excess hbf/kpds, need to bolter our achilles heel and add some midfield depthWe can't trade our first-rounder.
Which one of them is going to get us a first-rounder or Bolton?We need to be ruthless and trade one of our excess hbf/kpds, need to bolter our achilles heel and add some midfield depth
I guess only Barrass, which we'd never do, but I think we can live without him, especially with Edwards in the wings. Maybe DugganWhich one of them is going to get us a first-rounder or Bolton?
Bold moves.I guess only Barrass, which we'd never do, but I think we can live without him, especially with Edwards in the wings. Maybe Duggan
Danger, Dusty, Bont, Fyfe, Cripps. Who does Bolton push out of the top 5? Which player does he become better than?
What's more amazing is that you have him at 1.Wow that’s esteemed company, amazing that you reckon he isn’t even in the top 5 of his draft year
