Trade for needs and keep hitting the draft. We are a young team building to a dynasty not an aging spent force trying to hold on for one last shot. However trading for needs is not as easy it seems on BF as we might not be happy at what we lose in the process. Say Hurley did agree to move to the Bulldogs. Our first round pick was 18 and we can't trade next years 1st round pick. What player(s) would be needed to have added to get Hurley and don't day the usual suspects Hrovat, Jong, Stevens. Essendon would have wanted much more quality and rightly so. I don't want to recruit the likes of Bandy, Bartlett, Sherman, Koops .........., ever again!
Every list manager and head recruiter are going to have their mistakes, and don't we love pointing them out. But gee JMac and Dal have done a lot right.
