It's not complicated. It's stupid, moronic and base.

I accept your concession of defeat.

Will do. Hope you enjoy your day too, safe in your little cocoon of superiority, far removed from us mediocre types.

but maybe we rated Sheed as the number 1 player in the draft..... We can't live our lives going by what so called "experts" are saying
We'll have a much better idea of player rankings from this draft in 2-3 seasons time. Personally, I'm quietly confident with of decision at pick 11.
If we are picking up Sliders can I have Wade wells ?Overall think we did pretty well given the state of the list.
Inside Mid (with Kerr retiring and Priddis limitations) - Tick
Sheed was probably the best inside midfielder type in the selection range (6 to 11) on exposed form, some may have more scope for improvement but it certainly isn't a given
Line Breaking Pace - Tick
Yeo/Karpany both have this and also have potential to play midfield
Tall Defender - Tick
Barrass Full back for the colts side
The only annoying part was not keeping pick 28 given the player Brisbane picked up was a slider
We didn't have 31 to trade. Even though the deal was lodged after the Collingwood trade, I'd suggest we had already agreed to terms prior to it.Wish we had kept 28 instead of 31(?). Would preferred to have Taylor over Karpany
It actually appears that we were fixated on Sheed from a long way out and the deal was done with Collingwood to help us get Yeo. The Eagles must have had good intelligence that Sheed would still be available at pick 11. On a slightly different note my concern with this draft is that several of our new players seem to be fairly light (notably Barrass and Powell), and as they are apparently in the "tall defender" catergory they may take longer to develop. Sheed I expect to make an impact , Yeo as well and I am hoping that Ellis can overcome his injury concerns, likewise Bennell and that they could both be very useful to the Eagles campaign next year.

I guess the assumption is that we wouldn't have done the Yeo deal if we couldn't source another 2nd round selectionSorry, how did the deal with Collingwood help us get Yeo.
Without that deal we had pick 28. We used pick 28.

My reading, without any inside info, is that the deal with Brisbane was done, and the Collingwood trade was unrelated. So it was never a case of 28 v 31
The Eagles took a pick earmarked for Sheed, and turned it into Sheed + Karpany. Keeping 6 in the hope a better player turns up is a gamble. You are effectively giving up the certainty of Sheed + a second rounder, for the possibility of someone >Sheed. You look pretty dumb if it doesn't work.
Look at it in reverse. If we had pick 11 and 31, and had targeted Sheed and Karpany, and traded it instead for pick 6, and then ended up with just Sheed, how would everyone have felt.
Besides, for the deal not to make sense, we would need to rate Aish > Sheed + Karpany. It would seem they do not.
So we rated Karpany above Yeo ....
And we rated Sheed above Scharenberg & Aish ...
Cool.
No. It implies we rated (Karpany AND Yeo AND Sheed) over (1 of Karpany/Yeo/Taylor AND 1 of Scharenberg/Aish). I agree with your earlier posts that Yeo doesn't really need to be factored into this equation, but in that case you're comparing Karpany and Sheed vs one of Scharenberg & Aish.
Regardless of how you rate that tradeoff, I still think that even if we could arguably have done better we nonetheless did very well this trade period. Obviously time will reveal all but I'm pretty happy with our list now vs. 2 months ago.
