Bolton is backing himself and his assistants to take these guys to the next level, he was very involved in the selections we made make no mistake about that!

Stop being such a sad sack. It's so not a perfect system with so many variables in play. It's like trying to get 3 people on TC to agree on something.

Get used to it.

Clubs down the bottom should be churning their lists. We draft/trade in and hold shit for tooooooo long.

We won't be able to sneak up the ladder with a draft pick here and a trade there. Pick your best 25-30 , assess the rest as quickly as possible and move on.

Best player i ever saw was 'recycled' ...G.Ablett ring a bell?

I think I have 14 by my count, with 1 or 2 a chance to still be delisted. I'm not sure it's as high as 17.

For reference, Hawthorn had 11 this year.

True, one high draft pick extra each year compared to the club that wins the premiership is not going to do a lot.

We will still be getting 4 shiny new kids in the first 19 picks in the draft. A mix of smooth and rough? For years we've been talking about how GWS would have too many talented kids to give them all a game and some would fall through the cracks. Well guess where they've landed!!

Really?

Don't know if that is good or bad. What I do know is that with pick 8 and 11 we are likely to get ourselves at least one very good KP and if it happens to be Weideman or Curnow, we can focus on quality mids for picks 11 and 19...maybe even another one KP in Collins or McKay with 19 for insurance and we can focus on next years best 3 mids with our first 3 picks.

Maybe Tomlison will be cheaper next year or year after as the GWS draft more KPs. If we have Tomlison in 2018 that will be perfect..Hawks like recruiting

And that's the issue... we could have traded 20 & 21 yesterday to GWS for pick 7 instead of receiving pick 11 today...

But yesterday we were still hopeful of using 20 & 21 somehow for Tomlinson...

I must've missed that supposed 20 and 21 for 7. Who was reporting that ?

Were we?

Obviosly someone living in fantasy land

News Limited have us in the loser column.

The reason we swapped 20 21 for 11 was to guarantee we pick up at least 1 if not 2 kpf. They wont be there around 20. 1 or 2 of Weideman Burton Curnow. Next year will be tough. Bottom couple for sure and yes we lost talent but if we draft right we could build a spine for 12 years and in 4 years when yarran and henderson are veterans , we will hit our prime. Well done SOS.

I don't buy News Ltd stuff, so we are even.

Clearly, someone doesn't understand how the DVI works... not a great surprise!

You'd think so, we don't know what the draft is going to be like next year and who'd be available for trade (and for what). Our KPP stocks are virtually non existent.
