like Hunter but durable.
Think of it as getting a player after they have done their development else where in a afl system.
would be better option than Weideman or Goldy as depth, given still chance for improvement and more driven.

Itās just all baseless assertions. The only team close to Essendonās situation I think you could argue didnāt bottom out (recently) is port. What they did was trade out a 25 year old 2xAA B&F winner. Ignoring the fact we literally donāt have anyone of that age/quality combination, if we did, Iām pretty sure none of the āwe canāt bottom outā people would be advocating trading them out. They also traded out Polec and Pittard for pick 11 which is both ridiculous and, if weāre being honest, players of a quality that would also be on the non rebuilds ānot himā list.

Can draft a key forward, and wait several years to see if theyāll make it whilst they add to their frame and mature their bodies, or nab one a few years into the system and hope it was their circumstances (stuck behind genuine jets) that was the reason they didnāt get afl time at their prior club, and go draft in another position of need.
No idea which is the best way to go.
If thereās a Caddy like ready to go forward, do that

Lav for pick 62 or a future third is best we will likely get.
Saints 43 is a better prospect
mind you after bid matching 62 might actually come into 50ās
would be good if we could trade 28 out to suns as well for more points for Kako bid.
They probably wont be using picks anyway.
Or Tigers might be better as then they get pick 28+29 together

We should be trying to bundle rubbish like Laverde and co with 28 to move up the draft board before Kakoās bid.
If we could turn our second pick into a mid first round, we would leave the draft with 3 first round picks which would be a huge successā¦

There would be a few teams trying to do this.
Historically we havenāt had success being the team to actually do this.
Hereās hoping

We need to play hard ball on this. Lav is too important to us.

Owies would be a great get, really need to gain depth in that forward line.
