How is it a nice summary?
Firstly, how can we walk him to the PSD when the Bombers had already stated they'd take him? No doubt other times like the Kangas would have jumped at him as well.
Secondly, had we taken him in the ND, we would have paid more than we did. At least we got some change from pick 8 doing the trade. Nobody involved in the industry is saying we've overpaid. Yet some posters here can't let it go.
I agree, the PSD would have been a gamble. I also doubt very much * would have taken him but North or Hawks would have. It would have been up to the Saad camp to make sure they didn’t. Definitely a gamble. IMHO, National Draft was ridiculous talk. Never going to happen. As for the industry talk, well I’ll be nice and not repeat how I feel with the * cheer leaders.
On our trading, Saad in isolation, we overpaid. Pick 8 for Saad with a small change is overpaying.
The club might have been pleased to pull the trigger, but it doesn’t mean we didn’t overpay. I would have held on as much as possible and made * sweat. We had no other deals and we should have held firm for longer. I also don’t believe the bulldust being thrown around, that we couldn’t downgrade our pick 8. Maybe in the end there wasn’t a suitor, but I don’t, for a minute believe all the talk of * trumping us. I would have actually forced that upon them. These are the same guys that wanted Dunkley, made him nominate, and then wouldn’t deal appropriately.
Pick 30 went for Fogarty and small upgrades. Can’t say we overpaid or didn’t and hopefully the recruiting team know more about this kid. Time will tell. My gut feel, he isn’t worth a round 2 pick but we’ll see.
Overall our first 2020 2 picks went for Saad and Fogarty. Fogarty will have a big say if we get value. Saad will most probably hold his end of the bargain.
That’s it from me. Enough already.
