with the latest news in mind my thoughts are as follows.
Firstly I don't see picks as a necessary punishment, IMO they should be reserved for salary cap breaches and draft tampering, but here we are.
Secondly, we got the bargain of the century last year in Joe Daniher, as well as adding Goddard, we did well enough last year to mitigate basically all of the damage if we draft well, assuming it's just the one draft. 2 drafts makes it harder but by all means not impossible.
We've been really good at mining for talent recently, we will continue to do so and work through this, good players slide way past pick 50odd every year.
