I’m averse to trading out future seconds. Emotionally scarred by the Dodoro mantra of “I must hand over next year’s second because I’m so crap with my speculative seconds”.
I wonder what a decent recruiter can do with good second rounders.
I heard this morning that Finn O’Sullivan’s parents own the Port Fairy Day Spa, over the road from my (and @bomber5au’s) favourite coffee shop…and my favourite Thai restaurant.
That you’re effectively saying we should have given up getting Roberts because there was a possibility that the AFL might change the southern NGA rules the following year.
That you would prefer those two late picks to having Roberts.
Asked if he thought Richmond would keep Pick 28, Hartley told reporters: “We’ll assess everything.
“There’s options in trading back as well. There’s still some pretty handy players on the board.
“We’re excited to see how the next 24 hours play out.”
The Tigers will field more calls from clubs across Thursday in the lead-up to night two, but sources spoken to by foxfooty.com.au believe Essendon would be well placed to deal with the Tigers – and would almost certainly have a prospect in mind.
Huh? Weren’t the last three seconds we traded out for Caldwell, Jones and Saad? Two of those were great deals, the third is still to be determined. 2014 we didn’t have a second due to the AFL ban.
I think taking shanahan would be a risk for us too have two undersized key forwards so if we were trying to get up Whitlock might be the choice or we hold firm and hope sims gets that far
You said “despite what Dodoro left us with”. The picks we were missing were used to get Roberts. You can’t moan about not having the picks unless you think getting Roberts was a bad move.
