Point being if Patton were to go crook, That's still a fairly tall team with 3 big KPFs (Boyd, Cameron, McCarthey) and a potential 4th on top of that in the next draft, I don't see the point in hoarding them. At least one or two of them won't get games, will not have shown a lot, thus will have little trade value in the future. No one is going to pay beyond a late first round pick for an unproven KPF who has played little AFL football.

Given the hit/miss ratio of KPF's in the AFL I think stocking them up isn't such a bad idea. Hawthorn did this to an extent in the mid 2000's and ended up with Roughead Franklin and 2 flags out of it. If 2 out of the 4 make it then your already half way to winning a premiership.

That's short term thinking. They need experience, so a KPP who is highly rated but isn't getting consistent games is great trade bait for experienced mids. History shows big blokes keep their value longer than flankers and marginal mids. You package blokes up with picks for trades it isn't always player x traded for player y or player x traded just for pick a.

Injuries happen - it's always nice to have insurance when things go wrong.

I'm probably way behind but I finally worked out why Syd replaces the c-bomb here. Sydney.

At 5/200 after 35 should have been a doddle. But two quick wickets and now 7/223 makes it harder.

Faulkner can bat, got us out of similar position.
