What happens if Boyd becomes say a Tony Lockett and helps us win our next premiership, wouldnt be such a silly call then would it be.
Ruckman are replaceable. Good key forwards are hard to find
When did Tony Locket win anyone a premiership?

it frakking criminal how most teams have to wait a generation to land a superstar , then gws come along and get gifted 3 before they even break a sweat. and one of those (patton) would have been ours as well. gws will take boyd unless they trade it for a top 5 pick + something or a young gun. all these people going around thinking ben mcevoy + fisher or minson + pick are enough are kidding themselves. gws would ask for trengove + hartlett from us and there is too much at risk when those guys mean everything to the boys around them. boyd will be a gun though, the most sure thing since pollies decided they can give themselves payrises.

For the #1 pick I would definitely do: Pick 14 + Hartlett

IMO the most impressive junior KPF since Riewoldt.

maybe its just the choice of set shots in the highlight reel but they all go a fair way from right to left off his right boot (straight through mind you).

the next "buddy arc" coming up when people try to "fix" it ?

Where was Cameron drafted?

He wasn't, he was prelisted by GWS the year before like Hombsch and a few others.

Greater Western Sydney was permitted to recruit the following players directly, without the need for any draft:
  • At the end of 2010, up to twelve 17-year-old players (born between 1 January – 30 April 1993), who were too young to enter the 2010 AFL Draft. These players were not eligible to play senior AFL football in 2011, and would continue to undergo junior development, either in Sydney or their home state.

Lets say GWS didnt enter the comp and we were rewarded a PP...
A) Patton + Cameron
B) Patton + Wingard
what would have people done?
Remembering that patton was always going to be the number 1 draft pick so cant say Cameron +wingard etc
